Lift the lifetime ban for CueSports International


Lift the lifetime ban for CueSports International
The Issue



My lifetime passion for billiards has been my driving force and motivation for personal growth and skill development. Unfortunately, I am currently facing a lifetime ban imposed by CueSports International (CSI), which has been nothing short of devastating to both my character and my future in pool sports. I am reaching out to the community and requesting that this ban be lifted, as it is based on erroneous assumptions rather than facts.
For those who may not be familiar with the circumstances, let me provide some background: I have been falsely accused of manipulating my Fargo rating, which serves as the primary metric for evaluating a player's skill in pool. However, I assure you that my rating evolution has been nothing but a true reflection of my dedication, hours of practice, and consistent performance. This ban is therefore not only a personal affront but also a barrier to showcasing how much I've genuinely improved over the years.
It's important to emphasize that the allegations do not reflect the rigorous code of ethics I've always adhered to in all my tournaments and games. Pool is not merely a hobby but an integral part of my identity. Being banned from participating in official events under CSI impacts more than just me; it undermines my hard-earned reputation and tarnishes the image I strive to uphold.
I am calling upon CueSports International to acknowledge that there has been no manipulation of my Fargo rating. By rectifying this error and lifting the lifetime ban, CSI would be sending a positive message to players everywhere: that fair play and honesty are upheld and appreciated principles in the world of CueSports.
The support from fellow players, friends, and spectators is indispensable in demonstrating to CueSports International that this decision was unjustified. I urge you to sign this petition to help reinstate my privileged position within the sport. With your signature, I hope to clear my name and ensure that skill and dedication are recognized and respected in competitive pool environments. Thank you for your support. Please sign the petition if you believe in fairness and integrity in sports.
