Pool, a member of the cue sports family, is one the most well-known indoor games. There are many variations, but the core idea of pool is to place a ball onto a table that has six pockets. To reflect their performance in major tournaments, the top pool players are ranked by various organizations. The top players earn large sums of money and fame. The player's abilities can influence the ranking. A player's popularity can also have an impact on the rankings.
The best pool players have achieved a number of accolades, including championships and the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame. The World Pool and Billiard Association (WPA) is responsible for ranking players. They oversee a variety of American pool competitions. The association oversees both world championships for nine-ball as well as eight-ball. WPA gives points to players who perform well in big tournaments.
WPA rating is one of the most popular rating systems. It gives both a numerical rating and a descriptive one. The rating system also gives an assessment of the player's skills. While the WPA rating is not a good representation of a player's actual skill set, it can still be useful for early pool learning.
The Billiard University (BU) rating system is a more comprehensive system. It measures the various pool skills that are important for the player's success. The BU rating can also be used to calculate a numeric rating. Because it offers more information than other rating systems, it is becoming more popular among pool players. These ratings can be correlated with other widely used rating systems like the Accu-Stats rating system and WPA rating.
