We've been round this SOOOOO many times. It's not just 'on the day' either karl; its a whole heap of things:

I can't see any merit whatsoever in trying to decide who is 'better' than who; in the first place there are a dozen different yardsticks to measure them by:

- how well they break
- break building
- positional play
- safety
- potting
- strategy
- nerves
- number of centuries
- number of tourney wins
- highest break
- ranking
- etc, etc, etc

in the second place people have good days and bad days. When do you measure it? Who knows, (dream on brass) on a good day I might beat one of those guys, if they were coincidentally having a bad day. That wouldn't make me *better* than them.

I reckon there are a lot of very good players on snooks, and I'm not sure it makes much sense to try and divide them into old school and new school. But hey, maybe i'm just not as competitive as some?

They aren't even old school ;)

Old school would be trickshot, phase, dare, mojo_jojo, just to name a few, back in the days before arcade was even here

Veyron and kinkypinky could be added to that list. Those names listed smurfdude were awesome players at the time. I think there's only dare that plays orig. snooker now.

On original it would probably be spursjay and curtisorren in the final, with spursjay the winner. on arcade, blah, its a toss of the coin

Ok, If we take the old breed (when they was on form) and get them to play the new breed (current form) i personally think the old breed would win.
10 old breed's:

kappostravo
lol
ooj
trickshot
_spursjay_ (previous names also)
dare
pas7680
funkysmoker
top_spin
blutch

10 New breed's:

curtisorren
damee
sean_paul
ste_efc_
virtuoso107
grocula (newish)
fuddle
guesswho
spurs
boz_man

do you really think there are any that are better?, Except i would say two old breeds are better than all the new breeds (_spursjay_ and trickshot).
