I need to shoot in a few more fargo reporting tournaments

[Brother Ron]

After I stopped playing pool in 2006 a friend talked me into coming out of retirement about a year and a half ago.
I don't play league but practice a 3 or 4 times a month.
I have played in four Fargo reporting tournaments - The first two I fell flat on my face, then the last two I took 4'th and 1'st.
The last one I beat a 547 player to take first and my Fargo rate went from 505 to 511.
My robustness is only at 28 and will take some time since I don't play on a league.
I guess I will have to shoot every Friday night tournament they have to get my rate and robustness up where it should be since they report to Fargo rate.
Most tournaments around here are not Fargo reporting.

What do you think your rating should be if you were established?

What do you think your rating should be if you were established?

At this time probably around 550.
If I was playing league and shooting more than 20 hours a month who knows.
I did shoot in a partners tournament a month ago that was not fargo reporting.
It was a last pocket tournament and my partner and I tied for 1'st.
We got bumped down to the losers bracket and worked our way back.
It was getting late and the undefeated team asked if we were interested in combining 1'st & 2'nd and splitting it equally.
Since I had over an hour drive home we agreed.
I am currently looking for more tournaments in the area so I can continue to build my confidence and rateing.

Me too! I've only played in one rated tournament and did not play well at all. I have a friend who is 700 and he thinks I'm around 630. I have another friend that is a 650 and he thinks I'm slightly over 600.

I only play in a non handicap league, so I have no real frame of reference.

I have not played a tournament or league since I started playing again. I got my 200+ robustness by using the https://salotto.app/ . I got a few buddies to download the app and I pay for the games. Just one man’s experience.
