(Un)Popular Opinion on Fargo Rate

I play in that tournament every year and I know many of the players. One tournament doesn't define a handicap. And if you run that event bracket twice no way that guys wins again. Stuff happens
Tell me if you thought it was possible before the event that Eric were going to win? I didn't.

So why is there no way he wins it again?

Besides my point was to point out that fargo although a good indicator of skill over time is not "deadly accurate" to predict who will win.

So how have you done up there? I've been there lots with only a little success as far as results go. But probably more success than most. It's a tough row to hoe.
