Hi all,
Just needed to get this of my chest. Some rant about my country.
first of all, i live in belgium. 10miljon poeple , about +- 300 registered players in the BPBF (part of the EPBF). We have 7 rankings/year (all 9 ball) and 3 national championships a year (8ball, 9ball, 14-1) (there is only ONE competion)
now rants:
1/ Its unfair a player who likes 14-1 or 8 ball alot and has trained mainly for this game , wont get the place/game he deserves to prove himself. U HAVE to play 9ball, not because u like it, but because its the ONLY game that will give u many ranking points. i think it should be equally devided.
2/ and probably most important one: Our country is divided in 4 parts. The rulez stated that to get the last32 players who will play the finals of a ranking, or the last 64 players who will play the finals of a national championship, shoudl be found be taking EQUAL amount of players in each part of my country
iirc:
ranking = 8 players from each part, (4 saterday,4sunday)
national = 16 players from each part. (8saterday, 8sunday)
now the amount of players in each part is REALLY not even close of being +- the same.
+
The best players all come from clubs in the same part.
result: If u do your qualifying in 1 PART of my country. your chances are between 80% and 150% (yes this is correct, more qualifying places free then players who entered (NO the left over free spaces are NOT given to players of other parts of my country)
) and in other parts your chances are between (15% and 30%). (JUST by taking care of the AMOUNT of players)
+
In one part of my country ull find only TWO top32 players, in other parts, ull find (10+ top32 players).
This makes it really unfair , and qualifying has NOTHING to do with skills, but ALL to do with where u life (A) or where your club is located (B). Some players probably will never qualify EVEN if they are very good, just because there are in his part of the country 4 times more players then quali places free, and HIGH % chance to have to play several top32 players to qualify, where others sometimes dont even HAVE to play at all. just pay entree fee, and they are qualified (as there are less players then places free) and IF they have to play , they will only play top150+ players
What do u guys think of this system? Honestly, its totally unfair i think.
