My Fargorate progression

Although the presentation was compelling and well done I was left a bit wanting because I kept expecting this but it wasn't delivered.

"Now let's isolate the top 8 players finishing in this high dollar event event and compare their data to the rest of the field as two separate group"

"And then let's have a look at the same criteria for the entire group compared to a random sampling of players in the system with a 553 average"

Because if all 63 are sandbaggers than none of them are right?

What is the average performance for the same histograms already discussed for these two groups?

What is the average robustness for these two groups?

This would have been powerful to "yeh but" proof your presentation but unfortunately you didn't do it leaving the scepital minds to still think there is a chance you're cherry picking data that you like and hiding thing you may find that you don't.

Just the fact you are the only one's with access to the full database to "discover" things already make it suspect in many minds.

Not criticizing, just saying you should dig deeper and report the results if your goal is to end the actual criticism. This video came up short IMO .

Oh , yes you were criticizing. A well thought out post.

Which of the players rated higher than Yapp would you take Yapp in a long race? Let's exclude Ameer Ali and his 650-odd robustness, who keeps dropping every few months when another couple dozen games get added in. I would absolutely still take Filler and Gorst and either Ko and SVB. Probably FSR. I'd also take any of those guys to win the next tournament over Yapp, although, of course, it's close. So to me, he seems correctly rated.

Lol. One of the guys I have come over to play has dropped a few V10s. Only one has showed up in the ball return so far. It’s annoying! I actually don’t like round shape chalk. I now like the Pagulayan.

Pro tip: There is a slot at the end of 9' Diamond tables opposite from the racking end -- you can just barely squeeze a mechanical bridge in and with the help of your cell phone flashlight you can often fish out errant chalk.

Okay, I guess they may have been made in Thailand, if that is what the 3rd Edition Blue Book noted.


I wonder if the quality was any better then others.

Some who play in Fargo handicapped trnmnts realize they are often far from "fair".

No FR and I play in my first Fargo trnmnt at ....Fargo Billiards. I am with Dsnny Olson and Mike knows I am looking for a 1pkt game so he gives me a 526 FR. The top bracket starts at 525.😉

I know Mike is just protecting his people so I just grin and bear it. I believe i was the lowest FR by at least 50 points , and in the case of Danny 200 FR points. I went from being a top player in 525 and under to a dead money 🤷‍♂️.

Carlos was a great and golf player and didn't flinch for the money, another billiard player that was an excellent golf expert was Frank Torres.

After inadvertently mentioning Carlos's name in my post. I all of a sudden got to thinking wonder whatever became a Carlos. I'm going back like 40 years. He used to come in my pool room all the time I knew I'm very well. So I tried looking online I'm damned if I can find anything on him. I look back through some of your postings and you seem to be a billiard player do you have any idea what happened to him?
