I'm a natural pong player tho lol. I can't find any tournaments around here, and me and my buddy are wanting to start going around competing. I'm just kinda curious how good do you have to be to compete with other teams? I know we have played probably 100 different teams and beat them all easily but that might not mean a thing lol. Our make rate is on a bad game 1 for 4 at the worst, an average game 1 for 2, and probably once every 3 games we can run the table maybe missing 1 or 2 shots total. I also consider our last cup to be both our strengths, 1 turn average.... and in the rare occasion we get beat we almost always hit the redemption. Just noting a funny story, me and my teammate just played one on one for the first time and went to quad overtime, the game wouldnt end. Anyways hope somebody can answer my question, ty very much.

Shooting 50% as a team is pretty good, but is not going to win you the WS. If you can get your team average above 60% you have a chance. Before the $25k tournament in Atlantic City, I was shooting around 65% and my partner was shooting around 58% and we took 2nd place. Still, it was no cake walk to the final as we had several close games. This is going to be a shameless plug, but if you are serious about your stats, you should check out the following iPhone / iPod touch application (you can also just record stats on your computer if you don't have an iPhone or iPod touch): http://www.pongtracker.com/iphone Last edited on Jun 22nd 2009, 04:55 pm

Haha, yeah that's me. I remember trying to get you to be my partner before WS IV when you were looking for one. But i didn't really make a name for myself until AC, so it's understandable you didn't know who I was. hopefully we get a rematch at the WS or maybe even sooner in CA!
