Dead Links: WPA World Pyramid Pool Championship

America isn't going for it, fantasyland.
You are close with your guess I'd say. Czar Peter The Great introduced Russian people to billiards, bringing a game table from the Netherlands (during one of his famous trips around Europe). I'm too lazy to check for facts right now, but I think there was a game which later evolved to snooker, and in Russia it got its own unique style. I suppose there is still not enough historical evidence on how billiards developed in Russia, causing some wild and crazy theories at times (well, nobody is perfect, lol).
As for 1pkt, there is such a way to play Russian Pyramid (unofficial, i.e. used only for gambling purposes) where opponents are limited to 3 pockets each: one is assigned to two corners and a side pocket of the opposite rail, and the opponent gets the mirrored image. Of course it takes some skill to be able to play to three pockets only instead of six.
It's much more simple than you look at it. The way Wiki works, the links in red don't mean these are past links which are "dead". They simply have never been created (players' bios, in this particular instance). And noboody cares (even the players themselves
Russian pyramid - Wikipedia

I am getting into Russian pyramid and plan to make a trip to a Russian billiard table to practice carom or kiss shots.
Wikipedia is showing past links have died for some champions.
), so why bother?If ever you are serious enough about giving a try at a Pyramid table, I could give you some hints. The game is actually much easier than it looks, due to equipment specifics and the way they are utilized in-play. I bet any player of FargoRate 650+ can pocket an object ball on those tables as good as the majority of regulars. Top champions are another breed of course, but even then, get 780+ players and they are certain to match with them. And even better them, I dare say. It's that easy.
Please keep in mind though, that I don't frequent AZB forums as much as I used to, so if you decide to take some of my advice your learning curve is going to be pretty long over the distance

I was wondering at what point you would show your true intentions for this thread.
Now you have gone full Simple Jack.
Have you even played it before? you are delusional.
This thread returns high on google search when searching for names on the player list + billiards.
WPA should create a national registry for players to have some public persona. There are events happening in certain countries that can make it easy to forget players that compete on Russian tables. If they sanction events, the least they can do is make sure their names are remembered in records.
* I am referring to all players from the sanctioned Pyramid event. Not just the champions. A lot of history is being lost for other circumstances. WPA should bear responsibility for historical record keeping of its population.

how much do you want to gamble? If you duck and dodge on the next response I am ignoring you.
I played it before. I can do better than Corey in
yes that’s the only way, as you say, to squeeze it inMaybe you can enlighten us anyway. Seems they hit everything at double banger speed. Is there a finesse game at all? Evgeny Stalev (the only one I can name) seemed to have a disdain for aiming and pounded everything.Is that really the only way to squeeze the ball in?
you know snooker pockets are small
these are much much smaller
the balls are really bigger than the pockets
hit it in, fierce, rolling never works

Korean sized. Bigger?
Dear fantasyland,
There is nothing you can do on a pool or billiard table that results from a legal shot better than Corey.
Pyramid is easier to play. The bigger size balls makes miscueing impossible. The tighter pockets slow down play. To be good at pyramid you just need to know a few shots.
I plan to make more trips if anyone wants action in Brighton Beach. Post up. They also have a huge selection of Soviet branded food.
