SVB wins Master of the Table at DCC

Simple.....

Because DCC is in USA.. So SVB wins the Master of the Table....
If this event play in Phillipines i'm sure Alex will win the Title...

Why is so hard to everyone to realize this simple thing... :rolleyes:

That is a ridiculous post and statement! The DCC All-Around is not a subjective award. It is based on a points system. Shane earned more points than Alex based on how they finished in the events. That is pretty simple.
 
"So you're saying it was harder for Shane to win 22 matches than it was for Alex to win 31? Yeah, that sounds about right."

So I guess your not considering how much harder matches get towards the end of a tournament, since your constantly playing players who are in dead punch. As for you sig. and 14.1 not being a game...so how much you know about pool. Most people hate games they cant play.... so I get, no worries.:rolleyes:

You do realize that Shane only played a total of 4 matches, one of which he lost, more than Alex between the one-pocket (1) and 9-ball (3), right? It's not like Alex only had to play a bunch of B players before he got knocked out. Think before you speak.

Oh, and as for me hating 14.1 because I can't play it. I can't play 10-ball or one-pocket or banks either but I don't hate them. A couple buddies of mine, Nevel and Bartram, don't like 14.1 either so I guess that means they can't play a lick! They sure did have a lot of people fooled before you came along and set the record straight.

It's true, Shane earned more points. But how/why did he earn more points? This year proved that they point system is too top heavy and needs to be looked at and adjusted to award a true all-around champion each year. That or it should go by average finish. If you finish 1st, 2nd and 64th you should not win an all-around title over a guy that finishes 1st, 3rd and 9th.
 
I just did some checking and going back to 2000 (AZ doesn't have the '99 results listed), this is the first time the all-around winner didn't cash in all 3 events.

By the way, do you get ANY points when you don't cash? I really wish there was a place we could see how the points are distributed. Maybe Greg Sullivan or Mark Griffin can get us that info since they both post on here.
 
Everyone interested knows the simple point system. Alex came in second this year and that's it. To say otherwise is like saying a football team that lost shouldn't have because they got more first downs or gained more yardage than the winning team. As far as svb and dennis, they are both incredible and talented with lots of heart, and don't shy away from anyone, including each other. Since they are so young, time will tell who turns out to be the very best, and you will still be arguing about it. so....

As much as I liked SVB's winning, it's hard to argue with your reasoning. The glaring difference between 2nd and 3rd place finish in above comparison is too much to explain away. :o

I know Alex finished tied for 3rd so the 3/4 points would be divided equally, that could have been the difference. But nobody seems willing to share how the points get awarded.

I started a thread asking specifically how the points are earned in each tournament. I hope we get the answer we seek. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=218653

If you actually want to make this comment make sense then we have the first down count, the yardage for each team, AND NO SCORE. We are told Team A won, and we are not told the actual score of the game, all we have atm is the bloody first downs and we were told who won the game with nothing more....

I guess my question is... is banks really a game?lol one pocket and 9 ball are the two biggest games in my opinion and they should be valued the highest. No one plays banks except for that week at the derby. Whens the last time you saw TAR banks match? Its a respectable game, but its a showoffs game in my opinion.
