Sid_Vicious Sid_Vicious Carpal \'Tunnel Registered: 02/17/02 Posts: 4520	I have a situation. There's a B-league beginning to form, word of mouth was that there's supposed to be only one A-player allowed per team, but it's already apparent to my knowledgable mind, that this is going to me a very un-inforced rule. I personally know many "new" and "green" players joining, and I feel it a personal obligation to them, to say just what I think about the fuc-n they will get, along with the loss of any payback at the end of the season. Mainly though, it really pisses me off that a local league of stature in Dallas would allow stacking, just to get the league revenues up. What would you do? Would you simply be silent and just watch the hosing to happen? Life surely has more important things besides pool, but at that same time it's sad to me to KNOW what's happening to the new players and not do anything about it. Life may not be fair, but.......sid _________________________ "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room!"

Or is it just someone's opinion as to who is and isn't? I think what you have is an unenforcable rule. Player's skill levels are a fairly subjective concept. You might think someone is an A-player, and I might think they are a B+. How do you decide? Steve _________________________ SPF Family of BCA Certified Instructors www.s-sbilliards.com

Thats what separates good leagues and tourneys from bad ones. It all comes down to how good/fair the director is. Some tourneys dont even have plus/minus ratings. Youre either an A or a B, with no middle ground. Pretty tough on anyone who happens to be weak for their rating. Not much you can do about it though, except find a better place to play. But unless someone asks my opinion, I wouldnt complain. I'd either accept it, or shoot somewhere else.

I learned quickly to not take teams playing there for granted, just because they may have an assembly of generic looking players maybe mixed with women shooting with plain jane Mali cues and guys who don't deliver the best stroke cycle, and yet are smart players and can shoot. I don't know most of the players in this league from my being here in the Dallas scene for so long, which is exciting in itself. You may know that 8-B isn't my preferred game, but I've adopted/ elected a good avenue of playing it by pulling more Bob Vanover safeties instead of going so offensive. Pool in this league is fun, yet it pays to work your entire game set to "make a win", hardly any gimmies. There is a lot of talent there, and I am sure I'm in for my share of zeros on the sheet down the line. sid _________________________ "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room!"

Sid, like Choppstick says, "git a team and beat 'em!" $\:\)$ _________________________ DeeMan http://Zazzle.com/Deeman*

They weren't the best team ever, but definitely "best in show" that year.
