Ok class.. so your not in the dark....I gave the definition for the meaning of Oracle on the thread 2020.

But first and foremost about being an Oracle, it has nothing to do with Fortune Telling, or anything silly as like perdition on who is going to walk in the door, or predicting anything with an exact moment predicted before hand, or something coming up not known..

human beings that are oracles are not know it all's... and we are not a walking encyclopedia, or an eye in the sky that sees all. And its retarded for someone to think so..
But personally as for myself, ive had visions since the age of nine, didn't figure it out till later on, when it scared the holy s*** out of me when I saw things unfold.

School is back in session...great to see over 1,500..views today.

I personally believe that points race events are way harder to snap out a win.
Main reason is because a player has to maintain a winning caliber for a longer duration through a collection of weeks.
In point racing a player has to finish high in the cash to get the bigger points.
And with the 1 point attendance point given to all who enter, is by all means not enough points to win a race alone by itself.
A player has to and is forced to finish in the money positions to get any benefit out of the points in the long run of the race event.

Keeping in mind that the player has to win more events or finish higher than everybody else to win it by domination week after week, month after month.
Just like TSK held the great Colo race of America's for 8 months for the state package in 2014....
What blew everyones doors off, was in August and September for those eight weeks straight, I double swept each weekend making 16 wins straight, Dyp and singles.. the result was a landslide win by one lap ahead of second place.. thats called domination..

Also point racing is totally an open event, since all ranking is welcomed in point racing, providing everyone shows up every weekend event to earn their points.. after all if Master joe blow won the first two weeks and then hes a no show for the next two weeks, its not the other players faults that Master joe blow is now sitting in 3rd position in 4 weeks, meanwhile the expert that was 4th is now in the lead in the race for the first month, now Master joe blow has to get his game and attendance in gear and compete for the next 3 weeks, because he is now in catch up mode.


On the other end of the scale there are the open, ranked, and specialty Events, Goalie War Forward Shootout, etc etc...
Now as we all know, these events are only a duration of a day or two of a weekend, depending on the amount of entries in any given event.
And also these events are 99% on the weekends... Fridays Saturday sunday, and monday mornings, as like senior doubles at Colo state last year..

This is why I give players the term, "during the week we are all student soldiers,( practice alone, or in session)) when friday comes and rolls around, we are all weekend warriors," ( performance or competitive) for that is our time of war on the table!

Getting back to the weekend events, as in Worlds, state championships, etc.
Again as we all know these events are played out about 24 hours give or take, again it depends on the amount of players and the total running of the whole weekend events as a whole.

This is why I discovered a long time ago, it's not about what you name the event or where it is at, for it's all about the caliber level of the player base one competes in on a regular basis.
This is what manifests ranking in a player, how they focus and who they play against during their training, whatever it may be?

The game is about winning and losing, not about players ranking. It has zero to do with that, especially if a non touring expert on paper like myself as a non world champion, more times than not hand a world champion their asses on the table. After all dont get me wrong, I lose too, because I'm not exempt from the saying of "any player can be beaten on any day," but in my case in standing I win a higher percentage more than I lose...

And that takes us to the next stage in the game, The caliber of a player..

Stop lying, every single master there has ever been will sit on your face. You aren't going to go to the world cup unless you get lucky and they decide to use fundraiser money to pay for you to go but they might not want you to go because they might be scared you will talk like a fag too much.

For once and for all let this be known.. from here on out I am not bumping knuckles, elbows; shaking hands before or after any match ever again...
You all know I hate that shit anyway, so now I can say, "keep your damn dirty paws on your side of the table, you damn dirty ape"

For We are all dirty monkeys!

The classic style is the original used method, setting the ball up on one of the four standard set ups, pull, push,
pull kick, push kick..
Everything else remains the same on the table, as far as shots, not the tables themselfs, for there are many styled tables as you all know.

But style on the table has changed throughout the last 50 years in the game itself, as we as players created that evolution, although its own form has always been there on the table, we have only just Discoved it as time and the game went on, as the beat goes on.

the classic Style was played until the rollover was introduced,( wrist rocket, snake, rollover, )
Maybe now called a spin shot?
Im seeing some rookie players as of late, actually going past the contact point, on the second roll after the hit on the ball... Notice I said SECOND ROLL AFTER THE HIT..
Once the man rolls to the contact point where the ball was hit, the player figure cannot go past that engaging point from the shot..
Its very simple to understand here... once the ball Is hit on the first roll, the men have to stop somewhere inside the second 360 degree roll.

So I see the men on some begining rookies shooting a rollover as the men are going past the contact point in the second roll.
IVE BEEN CALLING IT OUT ON THEM IN FRONT OF OUR BASE, AND IM BEING TOLD IM WRONG ABOUT THE CALL.

IVE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME A LIFE TIME, AND I KNOW WHAT A ROLLOVER SPIN LOOKS LIKE,
And it has nothing to do with the hand coming off the handle on a quick grab on the handle, its all about the distance the rod travels after the hit on the ball...
Just to throw that out there for food for thought.

Now untill the rollover snake shot was introduced, the classical style was the standard method of style for players. All the players relished the pull shot, as in the player Todd loffredo,s pull shot ( The Loffredo long ).
Tom Spear's pull shot and methodical 5bar, Mike Bowers the first King in the game from colo, Doug Fury, dont remember where hes from?.
And we cant forget Robbie that also shot a pull, but converted to a rollover later on.
There are many many many more I could mention, but my just of these player examples is to establish the beginning of the classical Style..
