With how big Filler's gap is in Fargo (863 vs. Gorsts 850), it is statistically clear that he is the best current player in 9-ball. Anyone can come up with cherry-picked examples where someone else is better (e.g. only considering a certain tournament for the last few years), but if the definition of skill is your average performance over the long run across all 9-ball tournaments, Fargo is the most accurate measurement that we have, especially for top 100 players who have a lot of games in the system and regularly play eachother.

yes pay pal protects the buyer and gives him all the power in the sale.
use pay pal with a credit card if buying. never selling. anything of real value you care if you get paid.

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.
