Doesn't Siming stay busy chasing big bux Heyball stuff? She can stay close to home and make a lot more $. IIRC she's won a few events that paid over 80k US for first. She'd never make that playing pool with the girls.

Yes, that's accurate. For the reason you offer, there's no reason to believe she'll ever dedicate herself 100% to pool again. In view of that, there's no reason to think she will ever rise to the top of pool again. Actually, Han Yu, three times a World 9ball Champion, won more majors than Siming in the years in which both competed, but they were the top two for sure and I'd put both in the BCA Hall of fame if it were up to me.

But in fair match fargo handicapped tournaments the higher rated player has better odds of winning. And more often than not they win. I see it all the time. But even with your math again when the higher rated player wins more games their fargo will go up.

nope not how it works, they have to win more than their expected number of games. It's not like a 650 fargo will have their rate go up by beating a 520 5-3 or losing 4-3. They're expected to win 6-2 or 6-3

And then a few shots later misses a much easier (although still tough) ball. lol

Hope he can contain his nerves and wins his match.

Here let me explain it again. It has nothiing to do with the fact you're mostly playing lower skilled players, it has to do with the formatting when you're playing against lower skilled players. You're almost exclusively playing handicapped tournaments at the lower levels, and they are designed to even the playing field. So if you're opponent only has to go to say 3 games to your 6 or 7, they will often get to that 3 or 4 games before the opponent gets above 2,3 or 4 games. This artificially creates an input into fargo that makes the higher rated player appear lower than they actually are. You may 99 out of 100 times if playing the full race to 6 or 7 end up 7-2 or 6-3. If those scores are inputted iinto fargo, the fargo will remain accurate.

But because of the nature of handicapped tournaments, those other inputs will keep the better player artificially low and the lower player artificially high.

But in fair match fargo handicapped tournaments the higher rated player has better odds of winning. And more often than not they win. I see it all the time. But even with your math again when the higher rated player wins more games their fargo will go up.
