    Can I question my Fargo rating?

    I’m showing my general pool ignorance here by telling you I’m not even sure what the ghost is about.

    Can I question my Fargo rating?

    Once again, thanks for all the input everyone has been offering. It’s been great. A decade ago I used to play a lot of pool, now i play less, am older & my general interest in it has dropped. I liked the thought that “maybe I play better than I think I do”. That’s a very reasonable question...

    Can I question my Fargo rating?

    i get that no rating system is perfect, I’m only playing in one Fargo data capturing league & don’t play in tournaments. I’m not sure how the rating will ever even out if I stay in this league. When I play opponents that someone earlier reasonably suggested averaged out at 500, I was 80 points...

    Can I question my Fargo rating?

    I guess that if your Fargo robustness is low, you probably don’t want to join a league where the vast majority of players in it are lower rated than you when you start off. I’ve played pool for 40+ years & I have a good idea of my skill level and it sure isn’t 660+. This rating will only hurt if...

    Can I question my Fargo rating?

    Once again, thanks for the replies. If I was winning 75% of my matches against 600+ ratings this might make some sense, but that's not who I'm playing. There are only a few of those in the league. I come back to my team mate (and a handful of others in the league) who win 75% of their matches...

    Can I question my Fargo rating?

    Thanks for the answers so far. My robustness is currently 221. I think it was less than that when I joined this league a few months ago. I used to play in a BCA league for years & go to Vegas on a team every year, enter the open singles but would rarely cash. I stopped that a few years ago when...

    Can I question my Fargo rating?

    More info. I'm racing to one. the opponents are generally between 450 - 550, a few 550 - 600 & even fewer 600+. There is no handicap in the one on one matchups, the handicap comes in at the team level where each team totals its Fargo ratings and the difference is used to add a points...

    Can I question my Fargo rating?

    I joined a BCA league a few months ago. My Fargo rating at that time was around 580, which was I got when I played pool regularly & went to Vegas BCA every year. I've played a lot less pool over the last few years. The league I joined is on 7ft Diamonds & is run in the same format as Vegas is...

    Dramatic Changes to BCAPL Vegas

    I also like GG's classy response. I have a question about the advanced rating when it was arrived at via team mastership. If you achieved advanced status in this manner yet you rarely cash in the open singles (let alone approach the top 64/48/whatever the boundary is) is it possible to petition...
