is there a "prize" for worst performance?

I will give this a shot, at the risk of embarassing myself horribly. I was reading some of the old posts, where a certain player would moan about shooting the occaisonal 6 after relaxing a bit, I'm thinking if I can average 6 after 10 racks I'll be doing pretty good. For reference, I've never run a rack of 8 or 9 ball, so not too many 20s expected here. So no posting fake lousy scores to get worse than mine, they will be the real deal. On the bright side, I should be able to get through all 50 racks faster than just about anyone here.

I played 10 racks this morning and kept giving my self a bad rack. My score is pretty consistant. I'm going to be in the low 600's.

Anti-southman,
No prizes for the lowest score. Mainly because we all started somewhere. Just stepping up to the challenge, and honestly participating in what is largely a self-assessment exercise IMMEDIATELY places you WELL ABOVE about 95% of the nits who will fail to participate for some lame reason or another.

Participating sets you apart, and earns you a definite modicum of respect (no matter your score) from the true students of the game. I doubt you will suffer much if any criticism (unless self-inflicted as many of us are wont to do). Good luck!!

I posted one of, if not the lowest score last year. I like to think there may have been someone worse who didn't have the balls to post up.

With all the character flaws that have been listed in other posts regarding those that did not participate last year, it is with good reason that it is assumed by default that all non-participants fall below the skill level of any of those that accepted the challenge and posted scores. A point firmly established in many of the Tournament Director’s posts.

Paintscraper,
You don't have to speculate, all of the true players rank you ahead of the 2900 some players that didn't post. THEY need to catch YOU.

P.S. - remember though, that the pro's are not counted in the "non-participant" category - we all know they've got game. And by the way, if there are any non-pro, non-participants reading this; GET OFF THIS SUB-FORUM, NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR EXCUSES YOU BABY.
