Personally if you are talking about players right at the top of a game, then for me the standards are:
Arc: Very good games/107 ratio
Reg: Have a 147
Orig: Have a 147
Carom: 50+ %
Power: 200 break.
If you don't have them then you might be good, but you aren't at the top in my books .

So would only consider 8 players ever to be top at carom?

Yes. Given how few people play it, 8 is quite a lot.
22:58 Sat 31 Mar 12 (BST) [Link]
Pretty sure more than 8 people have hit 50%+

That leaves Destiny, Mooney, Me, Etarvt, Curt accounts, Cue_power, manetjie, damien.
Can't think of anyone else ever?

I've done it twice on this account and on dumb_duck.. I can't think of names off the top of my head but I swear there are a ton more that have..

With the new carom practice game though I would set a new standard of a score of 60+ on that to be classed as at the top.

Did dom actually ever get over 50? Thought he lurked around the 47 mark.
23:31 Sat 31 Mar 12 (BST) [Link]
I'm sure Dom did get over 50 once. Maybe my memory is just poo though. I wouldn't say that it's really that difficult though.. All it takes is a week of being on top form. 500 turns isn't that many.

agreed, those who just play arcade i leave in own section, same with those who only play Reg, Orig etc, the really great players are the ones who can switch types and still be consistent where as the good players stick to one game mode.
few examples:
Arc - ste_efc, cam, tyler
Car - fuzzy
Over - Seb (All except Car), destiny (All), damee (All), adam_147 (All except Pow), sean (Arc, Reg, Orig only)
Reg - sarahh, suspiria, banana
Orig - brentologist, arpeggi, chase475
of course not all of these are as good as the robots but tried to put them in types they play most.Who are the robot's? n_e_r_d? he shuld be on the list of reg lol
No, great arcade players are great arcade players!
I don't consider ste one of the best overall. He's among the best arcade players.

hard to say for individual types as i could include a couple in a few types.
Overall - Main Robots - Seb, Dest, Damee (i class those 3 the same above everyone else).
Arc - i_am_touched, i_am_blessed, sean (ste_efc back in his day but not at the moment), plus anyone who can hit 107s frequently.
Reg - n_e_r_d, banana, damee (i_am_god if he came back) and anyone who can hit cents frequently
Orig - sean, seb, damee (brentologist/chase/peg/dest < would be up there if came back properly) and anyone who can hit cents frequently
Carom - Adam, Fuzzy, Etarvt (Curt/Derry/Dest if they came back) and anyone who can hit 10+ frequently
Power - ill_be_there, mrmagic, seb, slatty, damee
probably missed loads but hard to think of hundreds of usernames.

Just remember "jack_pot" and you'll be ok.
