  • Computerized method and system for administering universal rating of pocket billiard players
    Patent number: 8105174
    Abstract: A billiards player rating system includes a computer, a display associated with the computer, and at least one storage device. The computer determines a universal rating for a billiards player by prompting the entry of break counts of the billiards player into the computer with a user interface displayed on the display, determining a current average and a best average of the break counts entered into the computer for the billiards player, and calculating the universal rating for the billiards player from the current average and best average of break counts. The billiards player rating may be the only function of the computer or the computer may be a general-purpose computer which may selectively function in that manner by executing a computer program.
