tough to remember but sitting near joey spaeth and norm hitchcock at the stardust i remember them talking about a jim buss player. he must of walked by or something. saying he was real tough from the midwest.
that had to of a real been a compliment from them, as no one in the midwest was better than either of them.

If there is anything in your area reporting, even if they give you a higher "tournament specific" rating to start, it's worth going to build your rating. Before FargoRate, if a stranger walked into a new room on their weekly handicapped event, they'd be rated either somewhere in the middle, or near the best players, per the TD's discretion. So it's no big deal if you are temporarily rated higher by a local TD until you have 200 games.

A lot of local TD's will also have conversion tables for APA, BCA, etc, so it doesn't have to be completely out of line.

Or play in Open events that report, where it doesn't matter since there is no handicap.

Go to a few of those events, and play some Solatto matches, and you'll have 200 games in no time.

Filler has a claim to number one, Fargo rating alone suggests as much
in any case smoking 800 plus Fargo players in less time it takes to watch some movies is just sick, he made Woj look just silly
