(Un)Popular Opinion on Fargo Rate

Earlier in the thread I was making the case that IMHO Fargo Ratings don't adjust fast enough to new information and should be tweaked slightly to weigh a player's most recent performances a little heavier (more like chess ratings). It wouldn't require a huge change, just a tweak. As part of that I was making the case that Yapp should have been rated higher after his series of tournamant wins last year and that I would take him over several players ranked higher at even money. Now that's he's world 8 ball champion does anyone still think he's the 10th best player in the world?

Since you made that earlier post (August 2025), Yapp has played 820 games. And his performance overall for the last 8 months has been about where we expect it.
A year ago, Yapp's rating was behind Biado, Shaw, and Kaci. Now he is above them and essentially on a par with Chua. That is the system's response to a good year.

Again, these numbers are interesting, but they contain a lot of noise. If you want a better predictor of the next 8 months, use the Fargo Rating

The player most strongly outrunning his rating is Quoc Hoang Duong
