Close but you have to divide the difference by the 9-ball total
(759 / 311) * 100 = 244% increase
Yes, my math does suck!

Watchez you said dates of the tournament were also a factor. Is it because it was moved to July or something else?

Yes, my math does suck!Even computers don't help.

Well, yes and no.
We are not very accustomed to seeing the skill differential between bottom and top of any tournament.
This gap of 85 points is
about the gap between Brandon Shuff and SVB
about the gap between Jennifer Barretta and Karen Corr
In other words, there is a clear favorite in the match, but the opponent is not in the no-chance territory. And keep in mind this is the worst-case scenario for a match.
85 points is 85 points.

We are not talking about Brandon Shuff, SVB, Barretta or Corr. We are talking about the skill level of a 527 player and a 611 player. I'm willing to bet in a race to 5, alternate breaks, 8 ball on a bar table -- Shuff will beat SVB more times than a 527 player will beat a 611.
I am becoming more of a believer in FargoRate but --
Find a 450, I'll find a 535
Find a 527, I'll find a 612
Find a 785, I'll find a 700
I'll bet whatever you want that my 535,612,700 win more sets than your 450,527,785 ....because the skill level difference is not as great, the higher you go in ranking.
I think I understand what your are getting at;
The ability for a player to "Get out" increases exponentially with rating.
Even though all 3 matchups are a 3-5 race (85 point spread), if in a level tournament (5-5 race);
A. the 535 will win over the 450 80% of the time
B. the 612 will win over the 527 60% of the time
C the 785 will win over the 700 50% of the time
Yes... No?
That is incorrect. The whole structure of Fargo Ratings and in fact any ELO-based scheme is a particular rating gap means the same thing wherever you find it.
The mathematically challenged will never understand, Mike. In time people will come around.
99% of golfers do not understand the math behind their handicap system yet they all believe it and use it. Give it a few years.
You're nuts. Shuff vs SVB, race to 5 alt break bartable 8ball could come down to one to two mistakes.
A 527 is the equivalent of a C+player in NYC. A 611 would be a good A player. The A player could possibly make a mistake in almost every rack and still win.
I understand this is your baby but if you want to improve it, you should be a little more open minded.
Now I know why A,B, and C shouldn't be used
I am a 531 and I doubt I would be called a C player in our area.

If I go to Minnesota. High B to low A.
