Sympathies. It looks like a pretty table, hope you get to play on it soon. Thank you kindly.

With mentoring. Thank you kindly.

Please don't say this. It is physically impossible, and thus casts doubt on your other statements. Thank you kindly.

Not sure why DrDave thinks people will be able to set up 6 balls, when they can't even read.

I don't see how it could be. I don't think FargoRates starts anyone off that low. 425 may be the lowest. The one I found was 128, with a starter rating of 525, and a robustness of 124. Thank you kindly.

Seems unlikely. If one looks at slow motion videos, one will see a lot of chalk coming off the tip at impact. In order for a cleaner ball to result from chalk not leaving the tip, the cohesion of the chalk to itself would need to be stronger than the force from friction AND from deceleration...

Get that Elephant to ND! It looks to me like FargoRate uses every bit of data they have, if you think that they don't have some data; get it to them. Thank you kindly.

No, it shows that the starter rating for the TOP 5 players in his league are too low. Well, duh. Thank you kindly.

Where do you think all that chalk goes? If it is not on the cue ball, the only other place is the cloth. It could well be that that is better for the life of the cloth, (especially if you clean your cloth often) but they can't both be cleaner. Thank you kindly.

Well certainly using all caps, size 6, and spelling it out, is what makes a proof. Not actual logical arguments. Thank you kindly.

Nope. Because it is ALREADY better than what they would otherwise use. The deficiencies come from the old system. Thank you kindly.

And you didn't prove it that time either. Are there going to be fewer instances of sandbagging in this tournament with FargoRates than with the old system? Yes. No one who is unrated (or with low robustness) will be more underrated then they would be with the old system. Therefore, there will...

So what would happen if we waited a year? This year those three would be able to compete in the open division. So EXACTLY the same thing as what you are complaining about. In fact, the ONLY reason that something might be done about it, is because of FargoRates. So you should be rejoicing...

You will (from what I read here) still be able to play as a team, even if all your players went up 100 points due to adjustments of starter ratings. Do you have reason to suspect that any of your players are drastically underrated? If not, no worries. If so, and you are hoping to win based on...

While the post is more of an annoyance than a wall when it is closer to the table, it will only affect a few shots, a wall will affect many more. Push the table in the direction of the pole, a bit. Thank you kindly.
