After teacher prepares food for thought for class, school will be in session!

Now everyone pay attention, because this next lesson is tricky to wrap your head around, and that depends on how small of a pea brain you all have, because one has to think outside the box on this next lession....!

Now on the other side of the coin for ranking is of course:

Beginner
Rookie
Amateur

And Beginner is not a Rank, flat out, wraps off, hands down, the bottom line in the nut shell...
(Bottom line in the Sea shell as in the jedi term, because table soccer is a game full of sharks in a pool)

These players are clueless as to what they were getting themselves into!
The nature of the chaotic nature of the game will either make you or break you at the beginning.


definition of rookie

an untrained recruit. a novice player. any inexperienced person.


definition of amateur

person who engages in any art science study or athletic activity, as a Pastime rather than as a profession. Athlete or player who has never participated in competition for money or a livelihood. One lacking professional skill, or ease in a certain area, not professional; unskillful.


These last two ranks is where the flaw in the points system for ranking is located, because a player dose not need to tour to REACH this caliber plateau in their game. Actually the fact is, no one has to tour to reach any Ranking...for it is based on the skill level a player allows themselfs to reach during training through time..ever how long it takes burning the midnight oil on their own table...... I trained for around 15 years on a table as a non competitive player from 71- to mid 80s..entered my first Ranking points event under Tom Speer, and boom, lo and behold im ranked as an expert right from the start out of the gate.

This is why a player doesn't need to spend thousands traveling the tour for ranking. You can do it all in your own comfort of your own home. Or at the local location.

for I tell you all, there are many many players that are way past that amateur caliber ranking, for they are way past the unskillful stage, or the lack of criteria of never participating in competition for money.
,but they are still rated a Amateur.

Thus they are sandbagging the amature class.

For remember this always in this game we gage in fluctuating points , and bumping down players rankings, for no one steps up to The table to compete as what their points resemble in black and white. You are not a number when your playing to win.

And of course, for look at the damage dent ive made in colo for the name sake of the expert class, and after 35 years my points have never changed to the next plateau..

Thus I have been sandbagging the expert class division for 20 years since ive been known as the jedi. .. because I have been professionally taking the money away from the colo player base for those many years.
This is why I am known as the ruler of the North, King of the Civil WAR events, Three points race event Champion, and now a new title to add to everyone's demise, short of my partner... adding again to the clinch of everything I preach of, pertaining to ranking and the Brokenness of it.

The whole world player base is off balance and in tilt!

Now here Mark these words..

Tony Spredeman STANDS in a League of his own, a singular Master Among Masters.
a self-made Master, for he became a Master in a very short time, dominates the world

But he does not represent a mecca player base as a whole where he comes from, for how many players come out of Florida? short of Brian Costello that I know of...

Not taking anything away from Tony, the player is a GOD in the game, A world buster.
But hes not the Mecca of one player base has a whole, unless that is, he moves to Colorado, then it would be a whole new ball game, all the way across the board.

Top 2 Ranks

#1- Spredeman
*huge gap*
#2- Master

Tommy Yore did get Tony in singles in Florida. Thing is though, it was like a Tony Clone beating Tony! It is great that Tommy Yore is a great up and comer but IMO, it’s too bad his game doesn’t have his own origin. Of course if you’re going to pattern your game after someone, it might as well be Tony.

Florida Masters
Blake Robertson
Tom Yore and his kid Tommy
Scott O’Hare
Bobby Diaz
Probably soon to be Dylan Marshall

Ranking system has been a joke for 22-1/2 years that I know of.

Once you achieve a rank your rank should never retract just to increase demand. Like Mike Bowers is a Master and will always be a Master. Same for Spear and for fucks sake, it is Spear not Speer.

Other Colorado Players Dropped in Rank
Scott Rodriguez
Ditto Hobbs
Phil Washum
Roger Aamodt
Moose
Maybe Leo?

Probably with our long standing player base there is more.

Why feed the tour to achieve a rank that can retract?

I didnt notice the spelling of spear, alot of times its the phone spelling out the words when I speak to the Android, im always having to edit. ..lol

Absolutely dear friend, tour is a waist of time, and money.. but you know SWEATER, Considering that worlds is now in Kinfucky rather than vegas, then all more the reason in not going to any world event there, hate that state with a passion, with the exception of the horse racing...

Say you know what would be out of this world...if worlds was relocated in Colo, then certain player's that dont like, or won't travel here would be forced to stay at home, or bold enough to show up?

For sure It was a wrong bad thing dropping down players rankings.. it hurt the Integrity of the game forever, its to late to recover the points system like the way it was in the 19th century.

I dont have trust and Faith in the system as a whole, its unreliable, and because its been broken for so long, players don't need it to reach the next plateau anymore... it's a shame, but the tour is obsolete nowadays, it carries no weight anymore being the extreme of the game..

This is why im so greatful to God im native-born to Colorado, this state is like a mini worlds every year at our state championships, the player attendance is really close to being the same. Not much of a difference bettween the two...

And of course, when I took the fire ball expert event, there were world champion title holders through out the whole bracket... how many world champions were there in that event? I forgot Sweater!
But many of the same during the other expert events during the Civil War tournaments.

Oops forgot my objective here...

Oh, it was surely unique to be a player that skipped rookie and amatuer class altogether.
But who would think the rank would be tattooed on me for 35 years...lol

It just goes to show you the brokeness of it. I win a state title against the best of the best in that event, and not one point,
meanwhile Ray and I are going to France to play for the World Cup on the USA team, and the system won't come forth.

truly pathetic

Well Sweater....But of course from the natural force of the North, and because the system has no back bone, I get to sandbag the expert ranking in france, because those bitches are going to underestimate me right out of the gate..lol hahahaha. ..............

I'm going to be their ultimate surprise Factor.( I can see it now ) WTF this players not an expert, as I'm making them sweat blood on their tables....is the USA team scamming us?, as their looking at eachother dumbfounded...

Yeah I can see it now as I shrug my shoulders. Sorry the American point system is broken, so dominating players like myself , fall through the cracks, sorry they dont know where to put me, so I myself became a Master by default, I win against all ranks...which is how and why I'm here now! Hehehehehehehe

wait till they get a load of the jediR.O.T.N.. I'm going to open up a whole new door.... this world needs an enema!

You don't win in any ranks. You haven't ever won any tournament in any rank.

To look deeper into the points in ranking, Begginer and master is actually not effected by the points. Unless in the MASTER class different divisions are used.3rd Master, 2nd Master 1st Master, Grand Master.. GOD etc etc reaching a few million points.. after all how long will the game be around long enough for a player to reach a million points.

So unless division is added through out the next 50 years, a Master will still be a Master regardless of the points you give him throughout his career life in the game.

So then this takes us to the fact that Rookie, amateur, expert, are the only 3 ranks truly affected by points... this is where the real battle field is when a player makes the points for their ranking, more important than the winning factors.

As for myself I have never been concerned about my rank, ranking, or what the numbers are, that's all it is are numbers, they do not reflect on how a player performed from day-to-day week-to-week month-to-month and Through Time.

I tell you all viewing these page's, it truly cracks me up, that most players bitch moan, whine and cry about the game style I bring and lay on them on the table, as their left watching rather than playing.. now im not saying I dont lose and im sitting out the rest of the night... but when im in the money like the majority that I am. I can get all kinds of vile crap coming out of them during and after a match... blah blah blah blah blah, I just love boiling Ditto, he wins like one match out of ten, or once a year, whichever comes first.
I own that guy on and off the table, meanwhile blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Lol little does he know that's why he loses blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.



Jedi

These next few page's I will touch base with my up bringing on the table, who when where what why and how I got started onto the game of Table Soccer.


It was a brite warm day on December 11th of 1971. just kidding I won't write it out like that...lol

But I did get on a TABLE for the first time as a kid on Catalina island in the later 60s. It was a douche Meister with a plastic bubble over the table at the island arcade. I had no idea what it was about at first, but I got the just of it quickly.

Fast forward to 71 back in colo and abit older, ( 13 ) where on that date above I ran into a man named Doug Norbie, and he introduced me to a Mirko table..not sure how its spelled, but it somewhat had a glass field, and like a warrior, it was the first time I ever saw ball control that he was doing. And I was hooked!

Dec 11th 1971 started my relationship with the game, and ive been on the table since. writing an extensive book about the game, drawing diagrams on the table in offense and defense, and winning title jackets against the #1 player base in the field of the game, also myself being a part of that same field for many years in the last 2 decades ..

Where I learned my skill abilities without competing was my singular genius approach to the game.
I played my table time playing the game wherever the tables were at, learned the physical action movements of the table through out the 70s, untill THE TORNADO TABLE HIT THE FLOORS.

So I bought a tornado table, got the protractor ruler yardstick paper and colored pencils out, and I started to dissect and brake the table down In lanes zones holes and it's full grid of offense and defense and much much more like the jedi freestyle, fathered only by me.
The whole table was mapped out in full...

Those that have all read my book in the past has all gone to the next plateau!

The proof is in the pudding......

P.S. The Oracle power comes later!

After being rated an Expert for my first registered ranking, I began playing competitive for the remainder of the 19th century, competing in places like Pinky's, The Odyssey in Fort Collins, other places that I can't remember the names of, and of course the golden q and Ecks Saloon.
and everywhere I played I was the result of major controversy on and off the table.. hehehehe!
just as that controversy is alive and well today, even on this forum as I preach

And then on Oktoberfest in the year 2000, I was given the name jedi for winning a game against a player blindfold, and I've been a legend ever sense, for my half written profile on this web site proves that fact beyond the Reasonable Doubt.!
First off my name jedi is not self proclaimed, and second the northern players never stopped my reign in the North, at that time neither did the world title holders of the Metro players that ventured up north, they got their ass handed to them when they entered my territory of the north, and that includes the location way later on in 2013 called the Bit of Billiards in Longmont, that was ruled and considered the Northern Territory of the North...
6 years later....
Now Ray Gun and the jedi are on the USA team competing for a World Cup...

and as Fooser X said "and the Legend Continues".......
