There's a 675 at Stix Dunedin this weekend.
Is that from him suddenly having more FR matches in the system, or has he been overperforming that much? Not sure how big the data set was before then.He went from 814 (#31) to 830 (#16) in the last year. That's a big jump.
He won more of his games this past year than expected. The system can't tell to what extent that's an aberration (either he got more rolls than his opponents or his opponents were not as strong as we thought they were) or his baseline skill is higher than we thought. You can think of 830 as the system's best estimate of his current baseline (average) skill balancing the different possibilities as well as it can.Is that from him suddenly having more FR matches in the system, or has he been overperforming that much?

Yep. 12 people signed up. 600 and under fargo tournaments have killed the tournament scene around here. None of the better players play anymore. And anyone under 600 don’t play in the higher tournaments
I'm 67 and played in a 610 and under 10 ball 180 miles away from home last year. Full field of 48 and I headed home after losing the point match at 8 pm. There were about 4 matches backed up on the losers side. All the kids there couldn't believe I was quitting but after 11 hours a man's got to know his limits. Probably would have waited until 1 am and got third place anywayCould be worse. You could be 67 and 560...

Funny how what we want to get out of the game evolves as we get older.
