At the regional tour, independent-event level, pool players come and go. At times, the (up and) ‘coming’ players seem destined to overcome the ranks of the former going, going gone competitors who made their mark and for many different reasons, departed, some for good. There is, too, that species of pool player that (again, for varied unknown reasons) steps away from the tables and then decides to come back, often taking a bit of time to get back up to the skill level at which he or she had been playing when they left; switching from formerly ‘going’ to ‘coming (back).’
The winner of this past weekend’s (Feb. 24-25), Arena Billiards Moneyball Tournament (#2), Robb Saez, recorded (with us here at AZBilliards) his best earnings year at the tables 10 years ago, climbing in 2014 to #37 on our AZBilliards Money Leaderboard. Since his (recorded) pool career began in 1999, Saez has dropped as low as #522 on that Leaderboard, in 2021, a post-pandemic year that demonstrated more than just a few drops in competition activity. By the same token, he has been among the Top 100 on that Leaderboard in 10 of the 25 years he has been an active competitor in our database and has an average position on the Leaderboard of 152.
