Unfortunately the only players that want to eliminate Fargo are the strong players who want to steal from league players in tournaments. When there is an open tournament advertised around here most of the higher "open" level players who bitch about Fargo are nowhere to be seen. Its like they...

What is it with everyone here? Shall we just eliminate all rules and start poking object balls in with our cues? How fun would that be? Part of the fun and strategy is playing within the rules. Leaving your opponent locked up to another ball or in a pile of balls is part strategy, making the...

Yeah because living in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, or Haiti would be so much more pleasant. SMH !!!!!!

There's "8 on the snap" and "Snap off a tournament" What does "snap" mean?? If it means break, it doesn't make sense to "break off a tournament". If it means won "8 on the won" doesn't make sense, its just all so confusing.

I have been using Tiger Everest tips for 15 years on my player and I break with it too, I have never had any mushrooming, I must be doing something wrong??

Point to the part on your body where the bad man hurt you.

Its amazing how they find a way to play the game using only what nature supplied them. Great creativity. I wonder, was that 9 ball or 10 ball they were playing?

Excellent explanation.

And yet more often than not these bar box matches go the way that Fargo suggests it will, there will always be outliers but that true with anything, its unpreventable. "We've been lead to believe that Fargo works well in this situation and it does not. On average, on a large scale, yes it...

Wow, how much are we going to beat this dead horse? I guess the A B C system where someone issues you an arbitrary rating was much better than Fargo, maybe we should go back to that. :poop::poop: The one thing that will always be a constant is that it is player against player, not player against...

I think its harder to play against lower skilled players, not like a 700 playing a 600 but shooting against a weak league player. Its not unusual that they will leave you hooked when they miss because they don't play shape well, they are likely to rearrange the table on you, and they are great...

That's because a low robustness is not an accurate representation of a players abilities, there is no rocket science involved. Its no different than before Fargo when a TD might assign someone a rating, if that player wins that first tournament with a TD estimated rating there would be a lot...

:poop: :poop: :poop: :poop: Fargorate does a dam good job of it though. If your robustness is low you Fargo number can swing rapidly, if you have Fargo rating over 1.000 sandbagging will do virtually nothing. If people want to sandbag to win a future tournament all of their sandbagging will be...

Because in pool players are rated vs each other, in golf its the player vs the course, how can you not see that? Are there mulligans in pool? Do players improve their lie in pool? How about different T boxes?

Even if 9' tables are tougher it doesn't matter to ratings because the players are playing each other on the same equipment against each other not against the table.
