When a player eventually reaches the rank of '1000', i think the 'class' they receive should reflect this achievement.

Let's be honest, anybody who climbs that high is most definitely in a diffrent league altogether!!!

So.....newbie, intermediate, adept, professional, virtuso,........Funkypool Legend

Does anybody else have any suggestions for the next class? Let's hear them.

expert , world class ... legend

u 4got novice

Lets see what 1000 is 1st shall we

How about 'FUNKYPOOL HERMIT WHO MUST'VE SPENT THE LAST 8 MONTHS IN A DARKENED ROOM ATTAINING A RANK THIS HIGH.'

No? Doesn't roll too easily off the tongue, I admit.

*I like the first suggestion, Funkypool Legend

novice...newbie...intermediate....adept...pro...dalai lama

1000 big ranks u think its possible?.........if so mayb as you said pool_life funky pool legend

its all good n proppa saying it lol but its getting there that the problem! lol

Yeah, spoil the dream why don't you!!

Seriously though, you are spot on with that ronnie. You need to play people near to your rank to climb fast, or play a lot more games with people of a lesser rank.

Imagine the drop if a 985 ranked player lost to a 700 ranked player.

That's a scary thought!!

not really, would only be around 4-5 points?

i think the ranking after virtuoso should be GOD!!!!

u need to be to get that far!!!

it seems pretty hard keeping 800 but ledgend sounds good but hey unless cheated it will be a while before any gets 1000 give it aother good few months

What about this........someone manages to reach a 1000 then whatever the name it stays with them as long as the account stays even if they drop rank

how about Maestro

Could go in game achievents....

Highest Rank : 1000

I think a 'Hall of Fame' could be good, with subsections detailing all manner of achievements.

Over 100 seven ballings
Over 50 Tournaments
Over 10 Runouts
Over 10,000 wins

All of these achievements would earn a place in 'The Hall Of Fame'.

To get to 1000 you have to win the last 50 games in a row without conceeding anything, you also have to have a win ratio of about 35:1 vs adepts which isn't impossible but pretty tricky, so say you did it (350 wins to 10 losses) The last 50 or so games would have to be consecutive otherwise you wouldn't reach 1000. AND when you finaly get there you would still be a virtuoso as the ratings change after the each hundred, you'd need 1000.1

I'd love to see a hall of fame

I think the prize for gettin there should be that there is no rating deduction for a week, but then drops by 25

Yeah, what he said

yh everybody are thinking of what name comes next after Virtuoso but what r u gunna do when a player reaches ova 1100
