Nope, it's not even the same...in a points race you have to be quite a bit more consistent in the higher placings week after week, month after month, than an isolated win in a standard ranked event.

Well at least I took home a 1st in something at state. A+ for small victories due to a sponsorship.lol

Say I just remembered, I heard through the Foos Grapevine that you were 2NQ in ES.. I consider that retribution.

Next your going to say, was there any top players in that last chance DYP?,. just to discredit the win that much more. Doesn't the fact that the win was at the Colorado State headquarters count?
I mean after all, you judge by where and what the event is called, over the fact of who the players in the bracket are that one competes against..
If the name of the DYP was called "The super duper grand DYP", would it have more credit and meaning to it?

Oh, and the fact that winning week after week into month after month is much harder to maintain than some isolated win here and there with one or two wins out of a four month span, is the number one factor of the Force of consistency in winning the majority in the domination department, V/S winning a few tournaments a year.

After all, of all the players that beat the Jedi at state, not a single one of them can beat me consistently in any dominating degree. Not one of them can out do the Jedi in a race for the best of 19 games, or reaching the 10 game mark first..

That's what my game speaks about, consistently in domination.. everything else is basically obsolete to me, but domination is the true test factor of all.

And of course I lose here and there, it happens to the best of us, i can't win everything, but the fact is I win also, and that is more than what I lose in the long run...

This is why I say everyone is going to have to get their game up to speed and up to parr before the next points race begins, because I'm either going to finish 3rd, 2nd or most likely 1st again.

Just saying......!

I don’t believe that last chance was on the flyer, or a points accruing event. As such, your top finish that reports for points was the red headed DYP which was 5th out of 13. I think your highest reporting finish since ‘16 was last years 2nd in senior singles.

Well of course it wasn't a point accruing event, if it was then what?
Actually there should be no reason why it shouldn't be point accruing.. after all, it doesn't matter what event we players enter, we are all still competing our game against the point given opponents weither it's a Civil war, a points race or any other event weither it's a local or a tad bigger event like state.. to me the game is the same no matter who, what, where, when, why, and how the game is played.. the whole game no matter what event should be point accruing, but just because I don't believe in the Integrity of the point system, etc, and don't tour, that puts the Jedi less desirable and less deserving, but meanwhile I've won every points race I've ever entered in this state, among other events that no one else won, like this years point race as an example!
Oh yeah, we don't dare give the JediROTN a single point for dominating again the singles points race this year, or the two civil war back to back victories.. or even the 2014...8 month race for the state package, where I took the lead by double the points of the second place finisher..
Yeah let's not give out any points for Jedi for his ranking, since the Jedi spank raped the state for 8 months out of the year in dominating fashion, not to mention I do it on a regular basis...

I'm sorry Dave!

Bad ass win at state this year you really kicked ass!

Also it is much harder to win one very large event than it is to win a points race over 16 weeks. The points race can be won by never winning one of the point race tournaments. You can miss a few of the tournaments also.

Oh one more thing! Some of my favorite large tournament wins came from kickin your ass in the bracket along the way! LOL

Oh as Columbo would say there's one more thing...
In 2013 at the second civil war event at the Bit of Billiards in February.. I was the only player that tripled at that event, against the best players of the state, but not one single point was given.. like really, why have any ranked events at all, if points for ranking isn't given out for it, it just kind of makes it redundant to play if your not moving up in rank, and just for the sake of just playing your soul out for just the money winnings..

Trophies are given out at state, just like other events, so why not the points be added to other events played.

I only kicked ass towards the end, but at least I kicked a little ass, a win is a win no matter how small it is..
But I have to beg to differ when it comes to a points race v/s a big event, which has more to do with the name, than it does about the amount of players.. because if any so called big event only had 10 players in it, and I took it, then someone like you would cry out and put some other discredited issued to the mix, like I won on Sunday rather than winning on Friday, like if that would be more important and have more meaning to the win..!

Rookie Expert Master Jedi..


I disagree ... not all events are created equal. There is something to be said about the pressure a major creates. There is something about playing Tony in Open singles. There is something about playing in your first final on a tour stop. There is something more exhilirating about playing in your first $5 entry DYP VS playing bar hack pick ups against your bros. Not all games and matches are created equal.

Bottom line, in my humble opinion, is you're a perfect warmup for CO foosers to deal with the bigger fish in the bigger pond. If you're a professional, start acting like one David.

Also, in the past 4 years out of the 22 events you've entered you've placed in 2 of them. With one 2nd place finish (Senior Singles 2017), and one 3rd place finish (Senior Singles 2016). This years Senior Singles was 17th (out of 32) FYI.

Furthermore you're partner you BP'd has 10 placements in the same span as you.
