I have created a Rating System for Pool that takes a different approach from what is typical. I use true, realistic, and meaningul statistics to derive a rating of a player's ability. It produces results that I have found to be quite accurate. My method for doing this involved a unique scorekeeping technique that is highly detailed, yet simplistic representation of each shot.
Some of those statistics include breaking % and shooting % and defensive play.
It's a project that I've been working on...
A Professional Pro Organization got wind of my work through a friend of mine, who runs a local paper here in town. They stated that they were going to create an Amateur Pool League. They expressed an interest in using my Rating System and its statistics. We have had multiple meetings in regards to it. They wanted to buy it from me. In review of the situation, I declined their offer and backed out.
Now, it appears that they may be trying to steal the idea from me.
I know things are bad with Professional Pool, but are things that bad?
I wanted to publicize this early. In case matters should escalate in any way.
Of course mistakes have been made. Hindsight it 20/20, can't change the past. Just wanted to make it known, and see if anyone had advice.
Thanks in advance.
