Getting a Fargo rating when in area that doesn't use it.

Same here. I live in Finland, and my local tournaments don't submit to Fargo. As I don't play in any larger tournaments that do, I'm stuck with no real Fargo rating. My best estimation is that I'm around 620-630, based on the fact that some local players who are 620-630 play roughly equal to my speed.

I rarely lose to sub 500 players and I usually lose to 680-720s, but winning them happens often enough for it to not feel special anymore. Against a 750-800 it's a whole different story, rarely play them but the difference between a 680-720 and a 750-800 is a very clear one.

Getting a Fargo rating when in area that doesn't use it.

While I do play in a BCA league it is not using Fargo system and doesn't plan to anytime soon. I want to spread out my game and start playing in local and small tournaments but to get a Fargo rating I have to play 200 games (outside of my league play) it will take me a long time. I'm stuck with pool hall I'm at as any Fargo sanctioned pool halls are to far away. Share your thoughts. Some will let me play but will give mean elevated Fargo rating (not fair to me). I live out in the country in Georgia so it's not like I can easily switch pool halls without driving far. Am I the only one in this predicament?
