    Fargo Rate Manipulation Pro Tips

    This can be true even if nobody's cheating. Let's imagine you're doing some big $$, big Calcutta tournament in your state. Think of 100 players (not entrants, just potential players) in your home state you have on the list as a "5." Then think of 100 players from neighboring states you...

    WNT, WPA and 2026

    You're saying this like it's a bad thing. This is what success looks like. This is a sport gaining traction. It would not actually good to have the US dominate simply because nobody else cares. The US has I think more strong junior prospects than it has in a long time. But at the same time...
