Corey Deuel still good? Fargorate

[poolscholar]

Just watched him get smoked at the us open. He tried a jump shot and didn't even hit airborne. His fargorate is 773... What if he's actually a 730 or 40 now...then I wondered

How long will it take fargorate to accurately reflect how he's playing now, given that's he's older and less active? What if he stops playing? is he forever at 773? Seems odd

A golf handicap uses the most recent 20 rounds but I think fargorate goes back years. I'd be curious to see the biggest drop in rating from a pro with a long history

It's like reverse sandbagging, forever stuck in his glory days, sorry Corey

try him and find out

Pretty sure Fargo is weighted towards more recent games. Corey plays a lot of events. If his skill had dropped off that much it would be reflected for sure

Yes, but it's still extremely sticky. Games three years ago still count for 50% the weight of new games. In the hypothetical example that he's actually playing like a 740, I'd bet it'd still take a couple years for his rating to drop under 750.

I didn’t ask if you had played Corey before. Since you are in sharing mode when did u play Corey & lost hill hill?

I got a great idea for someone out there. I've been learning about AI modeling. Take the following factors and use ai to build a handicap system

Age
Table size
Gender
Game type
Score results
Alternate or winner break
Score per inning or any skill measure
Tournament finish
Money won
Break and runs
Whatever variable you want

You could specify whatever spec you want to achieve and model results. Wish I had the time and data myself to build it. It would be more accurate than anything existing

Corey is still a hell of a player but his current game doesn't fit the modern Matchroom 9-ball game IMO.

It was long ago in one of those open challenge events at bcapl nationals

that tells us all we need to know about how much pool you actually play and your speed

I like golf and still liked that one.

One difference between golf handicaps and FargoRate is that golf is weighted more to potential. That is it is geared more to best scores than average. Not sure how it would affect Corey’s FargoRate not that it really matters.

Watching Corey rack is 2x's better than a sleeping pill

What if I’m non-binary and my age is “eternal”?

This is a pool forum. We talk all things pool.

Corey still has his moments, but it seems like he is somewhat of a bar table specialist now. He really excels at bar table 8 ball. He doesn't seem to enter that many 9 foot table tournaments any more.

Corey's career is a very interesting one. I don't think he was ever among the elite in terms of cueing prowess. What gave him his edge was his creativity and tactical play. In today's game -- the best strikers seem to win everything.
