Day to day changes are likely to be small unless some substantial number of games are entered into the system, or the manually selected starter rating is changed.NEWS FLASH...
Fargo ratings are recalculated (and they can change) daily, whether you play or not.

League stats as in win-loss record only? Or was it his overall strength of record based on the strength of his league opponents? If it's the latter then that's fine, the former is seriously problematic.One of the players on my team has only played in our in-house league and was started out as a 631, then after registering and 8 days before the event he gets raised to a 663 solely because of his league stats. This put us just over the 3000 limit and into the Platinum Division. It is an in-house league with 4 teams , with low handicapped players making up the majority of the league. In no way in this player a 663, more like a 563.Just wondered how often this happens?
Unless every member of those 3 other teams (and your friend's own team) are living on a deserted island and have never played anyone else in the Fargo system then the league results will be useful in improving the predicted rating.It does seem strange to me that league stats would then have the same amount of weight that known performance in tournaments would have. Don't tournaments that report to Fargo have pretty good size and fields? To equally compare that to an in-house league with 3 other teams does not seem like fair weighting?
You may be right but without more information about the players involved, the league involved, and how each one's starter ratings were chosen it's hard for any of us to know what's really going on.So, a weak in house league results show you to be a super star and thus a 663, however you win a state singles advanced tourney, national bca team tourney, a pro tourney, known ability out the wazoo and you are rated lower than the league superstar? Makes zero sense.
How can anyone tell the strength of opponents without knowing the players? His handicap in this league was a 9, the average handicap is a 7.5. His handicap is going to be high because of the strength of the other players.In another league where there are tougher players, he is a 7 because of the tough competition. He was bumped up higher than a local pro ability player who also just won the Iowa State Advanced 9 ball singles tournament, he is a 640, my player was bumped to a 663 and has no chance to beat the 640.The worst part is finding out 8 days before the event, we are open players and would never have booked trips if we knew we had to play in the platinum.
