Pool Cue News and Review

Apparently the UPA isn’t quite done stamping their feet about the new rankings system.  In a response to the BCA’s new rankings, the UPA has updated their rankings.  Meanwhile, the rest of the world collectively yawns, scratches their heads, shrugs their shoulders and goes back to not paying a lick of attention to the so called “men’s tour”.

Of everything that’s come out in the past few days, this has to be my favorite quote.

“I am not requesting that my name be removed from the new ‘rankings’ posted by the BCA, I am demanding it.” -Rodney Morris

Seriously?  It’s a ranking system.  Who cares.  Anyone can create a ranking system for just about anything.  Wait… I think I just did.  The following is the Pool Cue News Power Report as generated by the Futura 3000 megacomputer:

1. Ralf Souquet
2. Shane Van Boening
3. Francisco Bustamante
4. Johnny Archer
5. Jung-Lin Chang
6. Allison Fisher
7. Gabe Owen
8. Mika Immonen
9. Ronnie Alcano
10.Brian Gregg

I dig Rodney Morris.  I like his game and he’s a good guy, but I really hate to see him going down this road.  I get that you’re pissed about this whole situation, but demanding that your name be taken off the rankings is just silly.  Besides, the UPA really brought this on themselves by having a such disorganized tour to begin with.  Had they been able to co-exist with the WPA, I seriously doubt the BCA would have felt the need to step in.  If you’re really pissed at the BCA, skip the 9 ball tournament next month in Charlotte and make a statement instead of just denouncing the new ranking system.
