Pool capital of US - NYC or LA?

Thanks for the input guys. I'm not familiar with your "ABCD" rankings in New York. Would you say the A and B players would be 7s in the APA while Cs would mostly be 6s and Ds would mostly be 5s? 100% guess here.

That ranking is pretty universal, don't think it's just a NY system.

D players have trouble running 2-3 balls, usually end a turn with a miss/scratch/self-hook, not much concept of position play or speed control I'd mark them as 2-3s in APA

C can run 3-4-5 balls regularly, and end up with a miss/scratch/hook/misplayed shape, grasping that you can send the cue ball somewhere on purpose. Can break and run every so often, maybe once in a tournament series. 3-5 APA

Bs can get through most or run a rack once in a race to 5 or 7, knows safety play, tends to end turn on a miss on a hard shot or misplayed shape. 6, maybe some 7 APA

As are Open players that are lazy or can't quite keep focus basically. 7 APA
