RammaJamma Back From His Holidays
Ram's back from his holidays, and last night saw him add to his winning streak, which now stands at 15 games, to win the Monday 9 Ball tournament. Considering the quality of the 32 players who had entered, it's a great achievement and demonstrates his high level of consistency that is unmatched at Tooting.
Whilst the rest of us lack the consistency of Ram, some players really upped their game against high quality opposition and showed that in any given match, just about anyone can beat anyone, so the top players had better retain their focus or they'll get beaten. It also shows how hard some of the players who win less, can up their game and create all kinds of problems.
On this note, a massive shout out to Ben Venables, Alexander Vilmanis, and Jaz Singh, who flew up the rankings with their performances. Alex reached the final but lost to Ram; Ben lost to Ram in the semi-final, but did brilliantly to beat last week's winner Shadi, and Total 9 Ball Champ, Gabriel; and finally Jaz took out Rod, Cip and Saman to reach the finals, eventually losing to Alex. Phenomenal runs from these guys and their new rankings reflect their achievements this week.
Also, great to see Andrew Phan back on the winning trail again. After losing 13 in a row, Andrew managed to get two wins under his belt. Can only predict that Andrew will start to fly up the rankings, as he's a far better player than his ranking currently shows.
Meanwhile, I remain rooted to the bottom of the rankings, but took Shadi to hill-hill, which almost was the shock of the night until I scratched on the 6 ball.
Anyway, here are the rankings, with the changes from last week, as requested by Ali HK. Remember to message me if there are any other stats you might want to see. Have a great week everyone and remember that next Monday is the Blind Scotch Doubles event, which will pair up higher level players with lower ranked players, and always produces loads of "interesting" results.

Hot Rod Altes and extra stats
Hot Rod is currently on a decent streak, having only lost 1 game in the last 10, and that was to Ramma Jamma in last week's final. Rod took advantage of Ram's absence this week to win Monday's 9 Ball tournament and forge ahead to cement himself in 2nd place in the rankings, although Rod has only played 9 weeks this season, compared to Ram's 19 weeks.
Here's a few extra stats that might be of interest to some of you (includes doubles tournaments):
Name | Wks Played | Tournament Wins | Tournament Runner-Up | Finalist % | Winner % |
Ramesh | 19 | 8 | 3 | 57.89% | 42.11% |
Daniel Baker | 7 | 4 | 1 | 71.43% | 57.14% |
Rod Altes | 9 | 3 | 1 | 44.44% | 33.33% |
Tash | 15 | 2 | 1 | 20.00% | 13.33% |
Doug | 9 | 1 | 2 | 33.33% | 11.11% |
Suk | 12 | 1 | 2 | 25.00% | 8.33% |
Cip | 22 | 1 | 2 | 13.64% | 4.55% |
Andy Curzon | 23 | 1 | 1 | 8.70% | 4.35% |
Ruben | 1 | 1 | 100.00% | 100.00% | |
Tom Staveley | 1 | 1 | 100.00% | 100.00% | |
Marius Dandu | 13 | 1 | 7.69% | 7.69% | |
Gabriel | 11 | 3 | 27.27% | 0.00% | |
Del Sim | 1 | 1 | 100.00% | 0.00% | |
Craig | 7 | 1 | 14.29% | 0.00% | |
Hassan Mehedi | 9 | 1 | 11.11% | 0.00% | |
Glen | 11 | 1 | 9.09% | 0.00% | |
Pistol Pete | 15 | 1 | 6.67% | 0.00% | |
Muhammed Ali | 23 | 1 | 4.35% | 0.00% |
Also, a huge shout out to Ali, Andy C, Cip, Saman, and Andrew P for breaking the 20 tournament mark. Shows incredible dedication to the community and there is now 29 players who have played over 33% of the tournaments.
It is planned to have prizes awarded to players at the end of the year, and the qualifying participation is likely to be around 33% of all tournaments. Huge thanks to all who make this pool community such a great place to play regular pool.

Shadi Edges Win Over Rod
For those who don't know, Shadi Ed used to be a regular at Tooting, but has rarely been seen this year. A fleeting appearance last month saw him fail to live up to his high standards, but this week, Shadi came riding into town and swept aside all before him to win the tournament against ranked number 2, Rod Altes. Some say that Shadi's been hiding away in secret, practicing 12 hours a day after he lost in his last tournament in the second round. Well done Shadi, and hopefully we'll see more of him as he could be a genuine contender to climb the rankings over the course of the year.
Anyway, as requested, here's a table as to the change in ranking points from last week, which I will try to keep updated every week. The biggest gains were by Shadi, Doug and Hamza. Biggest losses were from Jim Siampanis, Andy Curzon, and myself. I've now dropped to the foot of the rankings, but that means I can only move upwards from now. Watch this space as I overtake you lot over the coming months.

Ramma Jamma hits 10 in a row!
Quite a bit has happened since the last update. The Tooting Crew performed reasonably well at the UK Open, but none returned with the trophy...
The 10 Ball Open was held at Tooting the other week, and Tom Staveley walked away with the trophy, and therefore automatic entry to the Masters at the end of the year.
Meanwhile, the Monday tournaments continue to go from strength to strength, as does Ramma Jamma, who is currently on a "10 in a row" win streak, winning the last two tournaments. This has sent Ram to an extraordinary 8.382 in the ranking points, clear of the next best, Rod Altes, by a whopping 1.397 points.
