BCA Nationals 8 Ball - Fargo Discrepancy

SWRLE said:
Yes by all accounts he had a great tournament. All the data before BCA supports putting him in Bronze at 400. Playing at a 610 level throughout the tournament is a stunning achievement indeed. My only questions would be why retain that 400 starter rating at this point and what division would he be placed in if the same format were held again next week?

lol all of the data was very little data at all. Ron won that tournament because he was supposed to. He's a good player. A better player than the guy who won the silver div. He didn't sandbag to get a 402 ranking... They just had no data on him, which is strange considering how many tournaments he plays in.


But what do I know, I'm a 477 lol
 
Does anyone else wonder why the almighty Oz has to ask questions as he seems to have all the answers? I am confused. Did he actually ask me a question?

Myself, if I put hmm at the end it a question but sarcasm.

Oh well now yo the almighty as he is trying to find holes.

Playing s set right now to get a robstuness above 7.

Hey, maybe the Fargo site is busted... There are several people with your name but only one in your state. That person doesn't have 47 million matches in the system so it's confusing, hence the "hmmm".

Do you always get this butt hurt?
 
But yea it's me, the "almighty oz" with "all the answers" but I'm not the one with the perfect rating system and any suggestions to improve it are stupid and just "crying". Gotcha.
 
1. Never said I had 47 million games but like all of Oz posts, exaggeration is common
2. Oz is smarter than everyone so I am baffled.
3. How does someone who understands everything about something. Not figure out something so simple?
4. Maybe I don't okay I just love to watch

Oz is not Ozzy of CSI,

I wish when you show Huey and Louie they are wrong, they slide away. Instead they try to change the subject.

lol funny you can't give me a straight answer, being all about transparency and all. The Fargo fanboy gang is funny. Not the sharpest tools in the shed but very funny!

No you said you have been involved using Fargorate for years and seen over 10,000 games of it......but you have only been involved in 7 games????? I think you failed in that transparency you were trying to get at. You've played one race to 4 under it. Lmao. That is nothing more than special. Like I said previously Mike Page should send you a PM and request you stop trying to explain or speak for him.

I also said I think FargoRate is a good thing -- just needs some tweaking and more info to be visible as Cleary suggests.

Unfortunately. I have a lot more than 7 games. Too think different is a very closed mind.

Being able to understand and watch 10,000 games has no bearing on the amount I have played.

Maybe I suck at pool and lose two and out in every tourney does that mean I do not have the intelligence to understand? Hell I could be a guy that doesn't play but. It's people in a Calcutta. If I had 100, 300, maybe 1000 games does that make me understand it more if I have been around it for 6 years.

I was told by Mr Ackler that being a 477, that I cannot possibly be smart enough to understand.

Again Robert, you've yet to give us a straight answer after claiming to be so transparent.
 
As s lawyer wold say. I am finished. You may step down.

Thanks for playing.

You just cost me two sets. List one 5-0 and the other 5-1. You got your money's worth

Have you considered that maybe, just maybe... My "crying" is an attempt to improve his system? Make it better? More accurate? You've heard of constructive criticism before, right? I guess there's no possible way that maybe, just f*cking MAYYYYYBE, his system isn't perfect?

But it's cool... I'm just crying and making loud noises. Continue being butt hurt.

You are not crying. You are just arguing with facts and first hand knowledge with experts stuck with an aversion to admitting and correcting flaws in their system. Ironically, no one is bashing the Fargo system or CSI's intent to make the divisions as fair as possible. They are simply pointing out the simple fact that setting starter ratings at the bottom of one's known playing level (or in one case even lower) allowed 8 un-established Gold level players to come in and sweep the top 8 Silver payouts.

There are two types of people. Some listen to the criticism, admit their mistakes, apologize, correct them and we can all move on with a better system. Others deny the facts, bash the critics, try to bully them into silence and we can all go thru this next year again. I don't see how people can say they are trying to make the BCA National Tournament better by saying if you don't like it don't play.

I gave you my name and where I live who else has done that.

By the way, what does my rating or robustness have to do with anything? That rates my skill level of pool, not my intelligence.

He said Robert Martin... I typed in Robert Martin. I didn't care to search Rob, Robby, Bob, Bobby, Bert or any other nicknames that could possibly be short for Robert. My bad bro.

Did you even read what I wrote? Trust me, I've got a pretty good read on your intelligence.
