The Men’s 8-ball Championship has 36 of the 72 players with 800 or better Fargos. Half the total.
Nearly all these 36 typically appear at most major events sponsored by the WNT, WPA or Predator.
Most of the Fargo 800 players who are missing are Filipinos - Chua, Raga, Roda, Ignacio, Regalario, etc. The Ko brothers are also absent as expected.
Among the Pinoys, Biado is the only Filipino living in the Philippines who makes most big events. Yet that hasn’t always been the case - he didn’t travel as much right before Covid.
Lee Van Corteza, who is now based in the U.S., is probably the next most traveled Pinoy, followed by De Luna and Chua.
