New Fargo scores out

Wu moved 11 points after one tourney? Wow. He was 816 earlier.
i suppose many asian tourneys are not reported to fargorate, and therefore his number of reported matches is a lot lower than north american pro players
I'm pretty sure that the reason a lot of these top players' ratings moved so much is that they all played against each other.
10 points is really not that much. It turns a 50-50 predicted probability of winning into a 52-48 prediction.
More important is to realize that Fargo ratings have a margin of error. I've done some experimenting with this in my local league and in statistical simulations found a standard deviation of 20-30 points for players with 150 games.
Even pros' ratings with hundreds or thousands of games will rise and fall due to randomness in the input data.

How are you calculating that? Are you calculating a Fargo rating using games that aren't in the official Fargo system?
The domination by Pacific Rim players continues. Japan, China, Taiwan, Philippines, and Singapore now own 30 of the top 50 Fargo spots in the world.
