Fargo's formula doesn't know who the men and women are, it just sees people playing people. If your argument is just that women aren't usually playing the players with the really high Fargo ratings, I would point out that most men aren't either. Fargo essentially works like this. There is a...

Fairness is right at the most important thing in any sport, because the whole point is to find the most deserving winner. If you desire to grow your fan base, which is typically the case, and certainly the case here, then entertainment value is just as important. Because both are of...

In the case of the "one guy" that is going home after one defeat in the finals, it shows that they were not good enough to win that set to win the event. They had their chance and failed. Your same argument still applies just as much for the "one" as it did for the "many". You will probably...

Maybe my memory is failing me or I just missed or am forgetting about some events, but what I seem to remember is that he still has the dog in him big time even to this day when it comes to the biggest pressure situations. He has managed to get there in the biggest pressure moments a time of...

Kazakis dogs his brains out under the pressure of this kind of format. If any kind of judgement were being allowed in choosing the team, he would almost certainly never be one of the top five best choices.

And lots of glue separations.

That's the only difference it takes. Totally changes the game into something else. You apparently don't have much or perhaps any experience with those kinds of pockets, but once you have played on them some it would become apparent how much it changes the game.

That game, like snooker, is a different enough to pool that most pool pros would have little chance to do any good at all so they wouldn't waste their time trying. The Ko brothers on the other hand, living in a region where those tables are common and where that may even be the most commonly...

The short answer is yes, they men and women with the same Fargo rating are equally skilled, and it is proven, not conjecture. This is a short video that Mike Page of FargoRate did 8 years ago to address your question of whether a 790 (or any other Fargo rating) woman is the same as a 790 man...

So it is a big problem if only one guy gets screwed, but not a problem at all if a bunch of guys get screwed? I'm failing to see the logic there. And if you were just wanting to make an argument for which is worse between the two, even though both are bad, I think there is a stronger argument...

I suggest Team Philippines vs Team Taiwan/China (or just team Taiwan if it wouldn't be politically workable to have Taiwan and China together as a singular team). That gives the country of the namesake (Efren Reyes) its own team. It gives both teams the maximum motivation to win since they are...

Somebody could have cut that pin shorter to help it fit in a case, or to make it quicker to screw on the shaft, etc.

This is just dead wrong. The referee's job is to make to make the most accurate call possible after looking at all the available evidence and seeing if it makes it conclusive one way or the other, and if nothing conclusively shows a foul, then giving the call to the shooter. Among the evidence...

In case he wants to research this maker, his name is William Rikard, better known as "Toeboy".

I mentioned three of the reasons. Reasons buying in person might not be as good as buying online is because by buying in person you are significantly limiting your selection, leaving yourself without enough time to know if the cue is truly the right fit for you, and having to endure a lot more...

I agree that for the most part you won't know how well you will like a cue until you can hit with it. One good reason for buying online anyway though is that it significantly widens the options that are available to you. For most people you can see a hundred times more cues and cue makers...

There's more, some of which I don't remember off the top of my head, and some of which I just chose not to mention because I feel those were good enough examples for the point (and with one of them being directly related to the missed call incident that was discussed in this thread). If...

It wasn't personal, or an attack, and I am sorry you chose to feel that way but you shouldn't. You asked why I had mentioned that perhaps some of your bias for Emily might be because she was female, and I answered only with the truth, and did so in a very non-attacking way. I don't remember...

I have seen several posts from you over the years where you wished for or valued the success for a woman/women over the success for whoever was most deserving based on merit. That shows a clear bias in favor of women at times, even if that isn't the value you aspire to, and so it is certainly...

It might be able to help explain where they could be selling today, but it wouldn't help explain who was buying them in say the 90's when there was no foreign market, and there were far, far fewer tips to choose from, yet I never personally saw one around then either.
