[POOL] Fwd: Argonne Pool League PROPOSED CHANGES

[Aaron Magill]

As the favored to be one of the 1's in a 10-1, I do have to say that as
long as the matches were, at 10-1 I still feel like I have chance to
pull off a win... 8-1 would probably be the same, but at 5-1 I'd pretty
much assume I had NO chance.

Just another perspective...
