Shaw v Woodward just announced!

Numbers do lie, especially here. Sky has been on fire for a few months, not just ten days. He was third at the International, he was Mosconi Cup MVP and he is now DCC Master of the Table.

A great weakness of Fargo is that it doesn’t penalize non participation in big events. Dechaine, who is semi-retired from competition, has not seen his Fargo rating drop, despite the fact that he is not quite the player he used to be.

I think Stu that you overemphasize the "semi retired" thing and apply a little too much weight to your subjective observations. There is no reason Dechaine's rating should drop.

A reasonable person would think that this late move by Shaw regarding his scheduled match with Bergman might certainly put the Shaw vs Woodward match in limbo, even if it is scheduled in a month and in a different state / venue? At the very least, the promoters, host room and all those financially invested in that match should take the necessary precautions / guarantees to assure both players show up, or suffer the proper $$ consequences.

Stu - I said the same thing to Mike Page / Fargo well over a year ago when Johnny Archer is playing less than almost anyone and his rating stayed the same or went up.

Also entering matches 1-0 because a tournament promoter / director is lazy is well, just terrible.

I suspect Jayson is using family money, so it's basically all on him without any outside support. Justin and Sky certainly have backers but remember one thing, they don't get paid unless they win! They may get a cut of the streaming revenue but it's still a loss no matter how you look at it.

We only have Jayson's word that he is betting his own. Who knows if that is true? Only thing that makes me think it has any truth to it is when he played Bergman the first time, his one stakehorse dropped out last minute, another guy was driving in from Boston I believe and had only a piece of it and wound up betting 10k just so the match could happen. Kinda telling when no one wants to bet on Shaw.
 
Looking forward to this.

So this is 10K each side?

Seems like it should be more for a 2 day event.

Heck the Berg vs Corey match had 8K added alone.

Also what is meant by Invitational Qualifier?

I think how it works is, it's going to be few matches between a number of players over the year and the winner of these matches is qualified for a 8 man winner take all tournament.and the winner at the end gets the 20k. Not the winner of this match

I read some very vague details about the match on facebook, nothing really other than that i can see, nothing about when and who the other players are yet .:confused:

Nothing has been said about any kind of wager between Sky and Shaw that i can tell,but you would have to assume they would be betting something i would hope.

Match starts tomm. Still very little info.

Feels like they're just playing for ppv revenue. Okay I just read 20% of PPV profits is going to the winner.
So that's maybe $1K money added?

$15/day

early bird special $20/both days

At the moment, I was more intrigued by the Donny match.
Hate that work obligations won't allow me to watch in
entirety.
