It's not hard to make it happen. It's rather simple.
You like her side, why don't you find 4 or 5 others on here that like her side and put up the dough. I'm sure she would come when they have a wpba event and play this also.
I'll cover the other side. It's not a problem to have that side covered.
I HAVE thought about this, and I don't know which way it plays. There are two aspects. One is the one you mention, that when pinging closer to your own speed high-end accuracy goes down--and a weaker person is more likely affected by this. The flip side is this, and it has to do with speed control. The vast majority of shots are well within the comfort zone of any somewhat athletic, coordinated person. Let's say
Sampson's full range is 0 to 100, and
Delilah's full range is 0 to 50.
Let's also say most shots fall in the range 5 to 40. Who is going to better able to distinguish between a 17 and an 18? For Delilah, it is 2% of her range; for Sampson it is 1% of his range and the distinction between the two is more subtle--kinda like having your radio dial or computer-mouse more sensitive. So again, I don't know how this plays out. It's probably not very important either way.
Perhaps they are not blind to the differences but instead see other factors as being more important than those differences in leading whatever outcome difference we're talking about.

lol...It's all good ....
Everything is like everything else.....except not always! :thumbup:
good rating system, flawed sample pool
Me too!
I even won a kinda big event once, beating a bunch of guys who would stick me up with ease.
Pool needs us, tap tap.
I think we should cut right to the chase. What was the highest finish of a woman at the US Open? I don't know what the history is and how many years women have competed there but I do know that for a least a modicum of years they have.
We are kinda of lost in the esoteric weeds. The question remains: Why do women compete for the most part with their own sex rather than play with the men, if they have a chance of winning?
Why is it that in every pool hall I've ever played at, the top female has no chance beating the top male without weight?
Back in the day I played a little at Hollywood Billiards down in the basement at Hollywood Blvd. and Western. I was playing 8 ball then. Didn't play Nine Ball much less One Pocket.
Forever, a guy named "Dana" never knew his last name, was the top dog in that room. He was super strong and could walk from the street level down the stairs to the basement on his hands.
Dana was a fine Nine Ball player and his One Pocket was very sporting.
There was no woman regular that stood a chance against this guy period, end of story.

Never said I like her side against Sky in a long set ,, never the less you know it ain't happening she would never match up here against anybody,, there simply is nothing to gain

Jean competed against men on a regular basis and in 14-1 had many top finishes before she turned to nine ball which she played pretty sporty also , a little CnP
Balukas was initially entered in both the men's and women's divisions of the 1987 B.C. Classic, a nine-ball competition. After notable controversy (detailed below), she competed only on the men's side. Along the way she trounced Keith McCready 11–3 (at the time the 17th-ranked male player by money list, and who guest-starred as obnoxious hustler "Grady Seasons" in the 1986 film The Color of Money). Balukas finished in a tie for 9th place among many of the best players in the world.

Not in a million years. I don't think she would stand a chance. At the time the Black Widow wouldn't either.
There is a famous story of Dana beating the Pinoy pro, " Dodong " Andam for the cash, even, down in the basement, back in the day.
The story is that Dana was losing to Andam and then had an episode like a little seizure where he seemed ready to black out. His eyes rolled up into the back of his head and he grabbed the table to keep standing. Whatever this episode really was he didn't miss another ball after it.
I was not at the event and this was all related to me by a cat that was there. I used to watch him practice. He had this really ratty looking sneeky pete with a duct tape wrap.
Dana if he thought you were knocking his action would give you a fist sandwich. He was eighty-sixed from just about every pool hall in city.
The old Hollywood Billiards was on one of the worst corners in the City. There were 4 pay phones out on that corner of Western and Hollywood Blvd. manned by cats with Raiders Jackets on and pagers. The sh...t was flowing.
The air in that basement was fetid, foul and soup like from all the cigarette smoke. Man that place was wild like the Mutual of Omaha's wild kingdom.
Doesnt matter what the highest woman finish was, none of those women were her speed. Whats so hard to understand about this??? This thread is filled with stupidity.
Why so butthurt that a woman plays better than EVERYBODY on here except Berg?

I'll give 2-1 on the money, Hillary wins the election :thumbup:
You are trying to bait me. I really don't feel like trifling with you and I am gonna mind my manners on the main forum. Cool is a very subjective subject.
Here is some food for thought based on research. IMO women do not possess the same hand-eye coordination men do.

I think that you are confused regarding my copy.
Well I think it's hard for some to believe woman can compete with men on any level , yet most here can't even dream of completeing with those women at that high of level they are living thier thoughts vicariously threw the skills of the very elite male players , pretty comical and my bet is in the next 10 yrs that gap is going to close even more on the high end it wouldn't surprise me if a woman wins a WPA 9 ball event it's not If but when
