Pool, a member of the cue sports family, is one the most well-known indoor games. There are many variations of this game. The basic idea is to place the ball on a table with six pockets. The best pool players have been ranked by different organizations to reflect their performance in major tournaments. The highest-ranked players get fame and large amounts of money. Depending on the player's skills, the rankings can change over time. Popularity can also impact the rankings.
The Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame is a recognition of the achievements of top pool players. The World Pool and Billiard Association (WPA) is responsible for ranking players. It is composed of several large American pool competitions, which are under its aegis. The association also organizes world championships of nine-ball or eight-ball. WPA players are given points based on how they perform in large tournaments.
WPA is the most widely used rating system. It provides a numerical rating as well as a descriptive rating. The rating system also measures the various skills of the pool player. 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.
Billiard University's (BU) rating system offers a more complete system. It assesses the important pool skills necessary for a player's success. The BU rating also provides a numeric rating. Because it gives more information than other ranking systems, it has been 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.
