Who is K. Juszczyszyn?

I agree it would be good if many US fans expanded their horizons
I agree Poland is unusually strong for its population

But the last two sentences overstate the case a bit

yeah a little exagerated... but neither I trust those numbers a lot :p
 
It is kind of hard to follow the Euro tour- I'm not aware of any streams. I guess one could watch some matches on youtube, but I wouldn't have even known to search this guy because I had never heard of him.

sry, that rating means nothing! i doubt any of those listed poles would lose to archer in the long run, or morris, or deuel.......probably against all of the listed americans except SVB! they have the better fundamentials and the harder competition in europe, my money would be defo on team poland to beat USA in a teamcup!

I would have to see any of them beat Morris in a long set 10 ball 10 k match to believe it

As far as I know, streams of the Eurotour events are available on Kozoom. It is a paid subscription, 100 euro for 1 year (6 eurotour events) and I think (i'm not sure about this one because I personaly am not subscribed) there is an online library of past matches to watch on demand.
As I said, I don't have this subscription, but the pool hall which I go to has it, so we can watch the Eurotour events and I have to say that the quality of the streams are excellent. All tables are streamed, so you can watch the match you want.

The thing is, whatever effect there is from the quality of European fundamentals--it is in there Whatever effect there is from the level of competition Europeans are accustomed to--it is in there

And when you put all this together, there is an expectation based on current ratings of how the Europeans as a group will fare at Gotham or the US Open or at Qatar, or at the China Open against US and Asian competition.
Likewise there is an expectation for how North American players will fare as a group and a similar expectation for Asian players.

Suppose the European group tended to do better than they were supposed to do given their ratings, what you are suggesting. Here is what would happen, That group of players would go up and entire Eurotour crowd, including the players who never leave Europe, would be boosted as well as a result.

This global rebalancing is done every day with whatever new information comes in.
 
I see that he won the Gotham City tournament and beat some great players in doing so. Who is this guy? I've never heard of him before

I do not know, but having grown up in a Polish-Amercian household I bet I am one of the very few here who can pronounce his name correctly. LOL
 
"Yuhsh-zin"? Yes?


Eric >help me out

You are missing a syllable. I can't figure out how to write it phonetically.

Yushs is good for the Jusz part and zin is good for the szyn at the end. The tricky part is the czy in the middle, and there really is not an analog sound in English for that that I am aware of.

Gotta love a name with more z's than vowels. LOL

i have no doubt that someone seriously takes care of those ratings and its surely a nice thing to have, but its useless imo(and not the truth)!
lets stick to archer, do you really think archer, as good as he was and as much titles he has won, is better or equally good as any of those poles today? then u desperatly need a reality check!
in the end it all gets decided on the table and it was that unknown pole who whopped that killerfield unbeaten! how many US players would be able to achieve that? well, we all know the answer.......(without ratings)!
 
Here is a match of him playing Feijen at the China Open.
I enjoyed watching this match for a couple of reasons.

If you watch the scoreboard in that match, you'll see that the poor Chineese didn't even dare to attempt spelling his last name! The went with his first name instead!:lmao: I can't say I blame them. The whole country of Poland seem to have an intense dislike of vowels.
