US Open 9B October, 2022 -- Atlantic City

[iusedtoberich]

...snip.... I'll predict that nobody with Fargo less than 750 finishes in the top 16.

I might put the over under at 770 for the final 16

 

[AtLarge]

Strong as strong can be. Approximately 60% of the entrants carry a Fargo of 750+. A fan's delight!

Looks like a miscalc. there.

Thanks for that. Yes, about 60% at 720+, but still a superb field, as good as any we've seen at the US Open (in my view, comparable to 2019).

Meaning that you predict that the lowest Fargo found among the last 16 will be 770, right? I'll go 758, but wouldn't it be nice if some lower rated player found their way to the round of 16?

I don't know what his ranking was at the time, but Rodrigo (Edgie) Geronimo is currently a 782 and I think he was the lowest of last year's top 16.

Yes, he was the lowest a year ago. My guess is that his Fargo was about 765-770 at the time but I just don't remember.

758 is very specific, are you thinking of anyone in particular?

 

[Guy Manges]

Best of luck with your project.

SJM Are you going to write the 9 ball ?

No, I was just speculating on what a fair over/under number might be.

This is not a book, it's a proposed billiards tour.

I well know that , I look forward to your writings , I enjoy them and I don't have the time to YouTube the US 9 so I read you... Thank you Stu... Guy

Stu, You become my eyes, this i need... Guy

Allen Hopkins, and Orcullo....Not on list.

Orcullo can't come and Hopkins can't win.

 

[Island Drive]

But Allen has free entry for life, having won in the past. Kinda knew that about DO.

Hopkins hasn't entered in some 15 years I believe. Same for Gabe, Buddy, Sigel, etc.

Off-topic, I wonder if the prior winners still get free entry with Matchroom?

 

[Catalin]

Quite a presence from Chinese Taipei, as we must call it.

Who is "we" and why "must" you call it that? Who's forcing you??? You definitely don't speak in my name.

Allen Hopkins played in last year's event. He lives in South New Jersey, probably a twenty-minute drive from Atlantic City, so with no lodging cost or entry fee, it was truly a free roll.

Big Ko, Little Ko and Baby Ko. Quite a family there.

 

[Bob Jewett]

My gosh there is a lot of dead money in there.

Not as dead as it might be. 128th place gets $750 back -- same as the entry fee.

 

[YukonCornelius]

Can’t wait. This is probably the strongest field ever. Really looking forward to it. I would love to see Shaw snap this one off.
