16 x_therage vs 17 xlx_qball_xlx
Tanmay usually does well in playoffs and tj hasn't been shooting much lately. This shouldn't be a close one.
7-3 Tanmay
*The Source*
7-4 Tanmay
8 xxl_czechmate_lxx vs 25 pro.jeremy
CK is a favorite to go deep in the playoffs, Jeremy can run pretty well but it wont be enough to be a serious theat to CK. Jeremy did make wcp finals not too long ago but this is 8brcam.
7-2 CK
9 xlx_britishpoolking_xlx vs 24 ilezo
Jamie and Chex. Both are good players and this is a pretty good match up. Both make mistakes and both can run out tables. Jamie is a lot more experienced and I think he plays the Spanish players harder because hes racist.
7-4 Jamie
13 xlx_skill_xlx vs 20 l1_stephen_1
Well I'm always saying good things about Jordan but this fella Stephen isn't too bad either. I think this can go on to be a close race or Jordan will dominate it with precise and slow play. Stephen is more of a runner and safeties on open tables so as long as Jordan doesn't clear out early and fail he should do alright.
7-5 Jordan
12 legend.skillz vs 21 Powers_Seduction
Winner of this plays Luis. GL
7-4 legend.skillz
15 AaaaaaaaaNIL vs 18 Drill__
Two good all around players. Anil has been much more successful in groups then in the playoffs. Marcel more successful in playoffs then groups. All the signs lead to Marcel beating Anil but I just don't really know.
8-6 Marcel
*The Source*
7-4 Marcel
7 jabronni16 vs 26 leeds_united14
Chirag is an all around player that can be a threat to go deep into playoffs. Jon is an all around player that could go deep into playoffs. The problem here is that they play each other and they both cant advance. I think Chirag is going to be able to knock this one down and be ready for his next match.
7-3 Chirag
10 MJ_The_King vs 23 s.ymmetry
Its kind of odd picking my own score so I wont, if you guys like you can predict on comments but Ill leave these to play out on the tables.
14 run_it_down vs 19 SERGIO_ZARATE_7
Jason and Sergio. Two players who are probably not going to get better anytime soon. This is going to be a close match between two average players.
7-5 Jason
11 optimus.price_xl vs 22 _Woo_Hoo_
Now here is an interesting match up. Two players Ive mentioned in this blog. Krunal has been away a long time. He is a former finalist and was a player who managed huge wins against big name players in the past. Jesus is a bit of an up and comer and I think hes going to cum all over Krunal in this match up.
7-2 Jesus

Players to watch
Ofcourse there are always the players who you know should do well in competitions.
Myself,CK,SI,Luis,Ant,Stu,Charlie
But this post isnt about them, they get talked about all the time.
Here is the next group of players who are capable of a huge upset in playoffs.
1. adambuddy - hes been #1 seed already this year and it looks like he has the best record this season again barring any ff's like ants soon to be 10-0. He is a good player all around and even beat me in groups and im sure he wants to carry that 6-0-0season momentum into a deep playoff run. He has quite a few flaws in his game and is gonna have to find a way into that next step a player takes to become relevant in regular talks of being a contending player.
2.jabronni16 - Hes won a prize tourney before and made final in a 8brcam season. I didnt really count last season when I saw him even though he had a good record, because it was his returning season. This being his 2nd full season though we will see how the guy really does come playoff time.
3.xl_gameover_lx - We all know kevin and his loud mouth. Hes also been behind numerous upsets over big name players. He is border line even when hes playing his best. I think he needs to just play the game and stop worrying about chatting shit and the rest should play itself out.
4.optimus.price_xl - I dont know when its going to happen but this guy will have a breakout season. He is a very smart player and I've mentioned him before but I know when I see potential and this man has it.
5. xlx_skill_xlx - A very solid player. His only loss so far is to Luis and his set vs kevin(sixohtwo) will be telling but I cant make a list without mentioning him.

PC Spot Light
Well this guy man...What can I say about him. Kevin made a post about him on his blog but I'm not going to rant about that too much. But he has said hes picked his game back up and is playing great pool. He also believes he is probably the best active playing player if someone asked him. Hes won back to back 8brcam championships and has 1 ucc win and is in ucc finals now. He is currently 5-0-0 in 8brcam and I guess you can say hes lived up to the word hes said of playing well.
Ive also noticed how I am 2-0 vs PC in 8brcam and 0-1 or 0-2 in ucc. I cant say he is a bad player because he is not,clearly. What I can say is that his ego is clearly bloated lately.
He said he would play me for money but did not want to put the money up when it came down to it. He said he would embarrass me and how he would dismantle me in a race. So as it turns out we got matched up in wcp 2v2 after Craig's impressive carry. PC is as hot as he is ever going to be right now so it was a perfect time to play him.
He was mouthy as ever. Extremely confident in his game. he demanded I play him as I was online but I already had plans.
Here is the conversation
Charlie (11/10/2009 5:36:54 PM): ur playin sum1 else in a set?
MJ (11/10/2009 5:37:00 PM): yes

Charlie (11/10/2009 7:19:20 PM): :p
unfortunately for him I couldn't and the next day we played the race.
All I can really say is that I'm looking forward to the chance of potentially beating Charlie 3-0 in 3 cam comps.
8brcam - 7-5 quarter finals
wcp - 9-6, or 10-7 (whichever you prefer) 2v2 quarter finals
ucc - tbd

Cam Comps
So basically I've put a really long and hard thought about this one. We have quite a few cam competitions as I have said previously. Now I am thinking about which ones are really worth playing. I say worth playing because when you win one you get a sense of entitlement. Now think about which cam comp would give you that appeasement. I can only speak for myself and if I was to select a general order of rank for the competitions this would be it.
1. 8brcam
The longest current running Cam Competition. It is always ran the best, with the best competition, and is the ideal comp everyone wants to win.
2. U.C.C.
This comp hasseen better days, but even at that its never been #1. It had a good run witih ucc master but I think it did more hurt then good for the comp. Its days are numbered but for now. It is #2
3. W.C.P.
This is a new format type of cometition and it seems like the players have taken a real liking to this style comp. With the 2v2 probably deciding whether this is going to be the #2 competition sooner then later depending on the success it will have on the players in it
There are other competition out but even with the next 2 being warmups for 8brcam there are no other cam comps worth playing in or mentioning.

8brcam group rate
8. Group E
I think by slim margin this is the worst group in 8brcam. Ant is a great player but Matt is only good for a short span and he is the next best player. There is not really any deep threats coming from this group aside from Ant.
7. Group D
With 1 great player being myself and a good player in Adam (2 seasons removed from #1 rank) this is again a very weak group with not much talent to pose a threat deep in the playoffs from other then yours truly.
6. Group G
Now they start to get a little tougher and more competitive this group could be a very tight group in points because there is about 4-5 solid players with potential for more but time will tell.
5. Group H
Im not really sure what to expect from this group but if it turns like it can I can see pc and Tanmay making some noise in playoffs.
4. Group B
CK and Si...What else do you need to know other then the groups top 2 players.
Go Ahead..Look em up
.

do it

yep I'll wait

nothing else from this group to see.
3. Group A
This group is tough Chirag and Jamie are going to top it but Marcel and Jon arent far removed from semis appearance and might be willing to put up a fight.
2. Group C
Im picking this group over the others because of depth. There is no 8brcam winners but it has good to decent players all the way through it.
1. Group F
This group has the potental to bring the most amount of players in a deep run so I am going to say because of quality that this is the toughest group in 8brcam,

8brcam time
With the new season well under way I would like to give my introspect on how the season plays out with help from *The Source* whom shall not be named, has a very impressive resume in ypool predictions.
The players I personally think are the top players in pool right now are starting off pretty well in 8brcam.
With Luis and Si yet to start playing their sets.
Myself 2-0-0
CK 2-0-0
Stu 3-0-0
Ant 4-0-0
This is a very tough season with competition made for the playoffs, not so much the group stage though.
The top players of today are not even assured of being where they want to be at the end of the season.
Winning
Because of players like
p00l_charlie(won 8brcam 08 season 2 and 3)
jabronni16(won 08 prize tourny and finaled in 8brcam 08 season 1)
sixohtwo (won 8brcam 08 season 5)
xlx_britishpoolking_xlx (2006 season 1,season 6 finalist)
xlx_southside_pool_genius_xlx (2007 season 4 finalist)
_Woo_Hoo_ (season one finalist)
Not to forget about the recent players making a push for a deep 8rcam run or victory
xl_gameover_lx
x_therage
adambuddy
MUSTANG9082
ymp(I always find it interesting to see how the div b champ fairs, even though he has already been successful in division a)
However we know some of these players might not ever get back to that depth of success because of eiter their pool skills fading or competition getting better, but its always nice to wonder what if.
Now onto *The Source* with successful predictions already far under way in 8brcam he would like to make his first end of season prediction and say that brock aka art1stic will end with the worst record in 8brcam barring any forfeits.

Shoot Me Down
Well I had a quote for my first 8brcam in 09 but I just couldnt find another one for my back to back.
Until Now
"yeah, now if you let me, you wont regret me
Shit, if you let me, you wont forget me
Remember? And if you don't then ponder
Hold up, *pop pop*, theres a reminder
I ain't kinda hot, I'm sauna"
Now I'm just chasing a 3peat to silence any critics left.
