It's lludicrous that 8s in 9 ball who are below 600 fargo are made to compete with Fargos over 700.

Anyone surprised a 746 fargo wins an amateur event?

Yeah, its odd. APA has always had a very loose def of what a "pro" is. Would make sense for them to move to a fargo cap maybe. That said his robustness is not very high, but he has a record of beating established pros on occasion in some tourneys, so... 🤷‍♂

@@supermanalexk love that response. Meanwhile, this is a single's event and not a 'men's singles' event and this Gary dude is rated higher than all but like 5 women in the entire world.

APA should have big payouts for amateurs . Our local APA league charges $10 per person per night

Why does the APA disqualify a member from the singles with a 585 Fargo rate because she holds a "pro card"? However a 757 can play in the tournament? This person also owns a bar that allows APA league to play out of her establishment.

It's a technicality and it's not very fair. Women have a professional organization that determines whether you're a pro, and men don't. So guys who play at low to mid-pro level are still technically amateurs by APA standards.

Man Gary Abood got old! I met him about 13 years ago. At APA nationals at the Riviera. I played a lot of poker back then and was busting him and other players. Later found out what a good pool player he was. He looked way younger. Wait a minute… *looks in the mirror*. Noooooooooo!

@@AAAskeet I see that now, and you're right. It looks the 2:1 comes into play when someone is 109-131 Fargo points above their opponent. So this matchup (in the 63-108 point difference range) is just shy of it. I guess Mike was generalizing when he said 100 points=twice as many wins, as it's actually 109+.
