I don’t know if it’s possible and I doubt it would interest many guys here, but I wonder: Would it be possible to have a tourney or a championship or whatever for the title of The Most Complete Player?

What I mean is this: the games of VP seem to be divided into three basic areas: the pool games, Snooker, and the carom games (1c and 3c). Some people are playing two of these areas, very few are playing all of them, and of the players I watched only Albinario seems to be a top player in all three. Wouldn’t it be an interesting challenge to see who is the best overall player in all three areas?

Would it be possible, and would there be an interest in a competition in which all participants would have to play 3c, Snooker, and one of the pool games, for instance 9ball to find out who has most of all the skills that can be required in games with balls on a table with green cloth on it?

(Ok, I do admit my motive: I do play everything and I’m a little frustrated by always losing to the specialists of each particular game. ;)

It's the TDs' job to answer this post. No replies?

Yes, this tournament did take place a few years ago.

I won it resoundingly, crushing all foes, thus becoming the undisputed Champion of the Universe. Bizarrely, everyone but myself has now suffered terrible amnesia since this tournament.

Didn't expect that, did you?

No, I still remember it.
