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

It appears you play tournaments anyway. So how to that handicap you when you don't have a Fargo to go by?
The TDs determine the handicaps. We typically play races to 5, anyone who is half decent and can occasionally run out (500ish or more Fargo) will play with the lowest handicap (0), then around 400-500 get a handicap of 1 and sub 400s get 2. So a 700 vs 300 fargo would start at 0-2. Since we don't use Fargo, the figures are just estimates here, and are loosely judged relative to other players speed.

I personally really enjoy this system of 500+ all having no handicaps, lets the improving 500-700s play semipros and pros with no handicap for good practice.

I'm just fed up of people calling Filler the best player in the World.

Fedor
2025: Winner

Filler

2024: Last 16

Fedor is Patrick Mahomes, whilst Filler is Josh Allen.

Filler might be more flashy, but I would back Fedor in a big event.

seems like filler wins on the goofy predator tables and loses on the quality diamond tables

Interesting argument. The best part is that they're 26 and 28. Might be fun to see what the next 10-20 years bring.
