In Las Vegas this year, scotch doubles teams are grouped into three categories: teams with combined Fargo ratings under 1000, 1001-1150, and 1151-1300.
This essentially gives equal weight to each player's rating, suggesting that a 400-600 vs. 500-500 match is a tossup. Is this actually the case, or would the 600 player be more likely to drag the weaker player across the finish line?
How about a 400-800 vs. 600-600? Who would you bet on in a scotch doubles match setting up an APA 4 and Shane Van Boening vs. two good 600-rated local tournament players?
