    FargoRate / DigitalPool: How is perfomance calculated and reported against "adjusted" player?

    Not that it matters much, but out of curiosity: If I, as a 550, play a 470 (real fargo, with ~400 robustness), which entered the tournament as a 550, how is each player's performance calculated? As if he would be a 550? or as if a would have played a 470? I can see that DigitalPool does the...

    Lag Foul at the EC

    This is how the referee placed the balls for the lag in the semi-final today: Niels moved the ball into the table and lost the lag for that. Even though Joshua still wanted to lag. I remember that stupid rule from another tournament surprising someone. If they place the balls like this it's...

    Here is an english article: https://theathletic.com/5155064/2023/12/21/super-league-back-court-case-verdict/ They ruled for two cases in two different sports. The more prominent issue was a breakaway league in european soccer, but they also ruled for a case in ice skating. The ruling says...

    Fargo: Influence of robustness on performance calculation

    Paging Dr. fargo: Just curious, no hard feelings. Is my performance rated different, based on the robustness of my opponent? I lost against a much lower ranked (almost 200 points) player on the hill. His robustness was 7. Do I have the same performance now as loosing against the same fargo with...

    Samsara Break Tip layer chipped off

    I had a split pea sized piece chip off my samsara Break Tip. Didn't take pictures, just reshaped and continued playing. Happened straight along on layer. Anybody else had this? Did I just get a bad batch? Is this a "regular" issue with layered tips? Happened when I chalked 🙂 Had the tip on for...

    FargoRate robustness for "new" players

    I am just curious and not complaining about my rating or handicaps. I didn't play much for 3, 4 years and now played my first tournament, which was entered. I can see the 2 matches, but my robustness is 22. I thought each point would be one game? Is this a "new entrant" boost? I like the...

    Streaming on Facebook vs Youtube

    I got frustrated with Facebook streams when the European Open happened and now again with the stream from Turning Stone. I appreciate a lot, what UpstateAl is doing! But this time at Turning Stone, it seemed like more people got frustrated just as I did. There wasn't always a working link. Some...

    Why is Facebook used for live video from matchroom events?

    Is it just me or is it very frustrating to use Facebook and find the live feed for the European open? I get it, they want to distribute to a lot of people for free, but Facebook is not a video.platform. It's a rabbit hole, full of white noise to keep me there longer than I ever want to. I...

    Why is everything handicapped in the US or how to improve as a B-ish (or 525-ish) player?

    2-fold question, but for me personally: I am a B and I am not turning Pro anytime soon. I have a wife and a job during the day. But I would love to improve my game in competition. I am just outside of the city limits of NYC, so, would have quite a few places within an hour to go to. But...

    Question for an admin

    Not sure where to put this. I registered 2 users, as it took a while to get approved and I wasn't sure what's happening. So, 1 got approved and 1 got denied. I would like to use the denied username, but can't change the approved one as the username already exists. What would be the easiest...
