Your Player Rating Revealed..A, B, C, D...

Mr. J said:
If you want to test your AVERAGE, there is a simple way...

Just rack up a rack of 10 ball and break and then take ball in hand and try to run out. If you miss, record the miss and then take ball in hand from there and continue to try to run out. Record all misses until you run out the rack. Do this with 10 racks and see how many misses you have recorded. Now if your really want to know for sure, you should call this a test session (10 racks of 10-ball) and do a minimun of 4 sessions. This will give you your TRUE ACCURATE HONEST AVERAGE for today. Perhaps you could do this testing once a month and see if you improve your statistics and rating???

Also, to keep things simple for you and keep in mind that we are ONLY CONCERNED WITH MISSED BALLS, after breaking the balls, untie any tied up balls and remove any random combination setups that have presented them selves immediately after the break. This is easily done by hand and requires just nudging some balls slightly from where they lie...

Remember, this is a simple test with simple guidelines...we are not concerned with bad position or other things...JUST MISSED BALLS...

Good Luck...

I feel a much more precise way is to generalize a shot and its difficulty, from banks, to easy hangers, give the subject 10 tries on each shot, 1 point for every succuessful attempt. 10 differnt shots that vary difficulty and base a rating on 100. 100 being a perfect score.

Then if you want to test them further, use the same shots but use them to set up position on another ball, this instance you would use 10 attempts to succesfully make the skill shot, with position to pocket the other ball. .5 points for making the ball .5 if you play position and pocket the other. so you would happen to play perfect on both exercises your score could be as high as 200. from that number you could rank a player with decent accuracy, but the shots need to be routine-to slightly challenging. Im going to post some examples soon.

here is a good example of three shots, Then by adding a ball to play position on from the three shots you add a greater chance for error.

3 more shots.

3 more.


keep in mind, I have considered that these shots will also require position play.

in general, I have more shots but Id like to hear what people think first.

Too much analysis. I always in my mind place players in these loose categories:

Efren speed
World Class
Top Regional
Shortstop
B player
Banger
 
Maybe a simpler way to consider this would be to try to estimate how many serious errors a player makes per 9 ball rack. By that, I mean botching a runout by dogging a shot, or bumbling a fairly routine safety or kick that should lead to loss of game.

D players will do this, say, 3 or 4 times a game. C players, possibly twice. A players, maybe only once every 4 or 5 games. B players? Maybe 2 times every 3 racks?
