Pool is one of the most loved indoor games around the globe. It comes from the cue sport family. There are many variations of this game. The basic idea is to place the ball on a table with six pockets. To measure their performance at major tournaments and to rank the best pool players, different organizations have created rankings. 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 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's (WPA) ranks players. It is composed of several large American pool competitions, which are under its aegis. The association also oversees world championships in nine-ball and eight-ball. The WPA awards points to players based on their performance in big tournaments.
WPA is the most widely used rating system. It provides a numerical rating as well as a descriptive rating. The rating system also evaluates pool player's different skills. Although the WPA ranking does not accurately reflect the skill set of real pool players, it can help to determine early pool learning.
The Billiard University (BU) rating system is a more comprehensive system. It measures all the pool skills important to the 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. The ratings are also correlated to other common rating systems, like AccuStats' rating system or the WPA Rating.
