If you don't know the level of the players your friend played, then it's not possible to say anything. I find the Fargo ratings, for honest players, to be pretty equal across state lines.

Whoever put you in thought you played around that level. Since you slowly went up from that, but did not jump up too much, and the system sees you as a 550, that looks like it was the correct estimate. My son and I have put in many players in Fargo through the league he runs using LMS, and the...

Thanks! I know the ratings were not real, but I was curious how the math would work with players when the computer only has results to work from without being able to compare skills. Logically it would be the safest assumption to make to give both players some credit vs assuming one was better...

It may not be a real rating, but the calculations would still be done, I was wondering which way they would swing. If the system would assume one player was better or both were at the cause half and half.

I am currently listening to Funkadelic because of this post title. There is also this, get down with yo bad self... kinda...

Could we delete or rename this thread so I don't get James Brown songs stuck in my head every time I read it? Pleassseeee!!!!

I concur with ^, neither look like cracks, especially the thing that looks like a marker.

I read your post up to "... it comes down to the girls." and through, yep, cute girls working and going to the place will make it popular. Then I read more... LOL I have had quite a few guys talk to me about why they go to one place vs the other, and often it's "this place has no girls/women...

I think so also, but I would love to see Mike plug in the two players in and see how the ratings progress. Set 1 , 10-5, what is the Fargo after that? Set 2, 10-5, what is the Fargo after that, and so on untill we reach the 200-100 game result I am also wondering if we plug in a single set of...

I am, and about to start a new round of work travel, will let you know if I am around your area

He is doing very well as it is in pool, I don't think he would be making more, especially at his age, doing most other things. Although many pool players make good salespeople, he could be in finance making the same amount or more.

@mikepage Something I thought of on a Reddit question about Fargo. If there are only 2 players in a bubble, we assign them a 350 rating to start with. After 200 games Player 1 shows to be winning games at a 2-1 ratio, a 100 point difference. Would Player 1 end up a 450 and Player 2 stays a...

There are times I want to get a McDermott because some guy I know can do fun stuff with the cueball :D

If Germany was a 3rd world country, then maybe he would not have been if he was born in the US due to going to other interests. Many players in poor countries start playing pool to make a living, not as a hobby, so they take it more seriously and earlier than in the US. Almost every good player...

I just recently, a few weeks ago, ran into a player who used the knuckle bridge who was actually a good player. It was in a place in Jacksonville I visited during a league. I was told he was the best player in the league, and a 650 or so Fargo rated player. I have never before seen anyone of...

No issues with replacing the Accu-Rack with a new one, those racks are not made to be so durable as lasting for years. The ones we have been using at the pool hall seem to last maybe 4 months before feeling worn out. Considering the rack Fedor helped design has been out maybe 15 minutes, it is...

Unsportsmanlike foul for sure, loss of game, and a lesson on how to dress.

I am only buying generic cheese and downgrading my 14 yr scotch purchases to 12 yr bottles, we all have our ways of coping. Also debating about chalking half as often to conserve. We should all list the things we are not spending money on, people need to know.

You said so, several times that you don't want to wait at a tournament to play and want to find some pro event where all you do is play, or waste time not playing in a tournament vs getting ready to play in one. That is not going to happen unless you just match up one on one with someone...

Bit extreme but I have seen just as bad from various players with personality ticks. One player I know would place two chalks at exactly the second diamonds every time and would keep moving them to those positions. I would use the chalks on my turn, put them down wherever I was standing. He...
