In the US Pro Series tiebreaker, when someone makes a spot shot, does that count as a won game in the Fargo rating system? For example, if someone wins 4-3 in spot shots, is that the equivalent to winning a 4-3 set of regular 10-ball?
Fargo Question: Do spot shots results count toward rating?
- Thread starter FeelDaShot
- Start date
Pretty sure FR just goes by who won/lost.
No, each game counts as a separate win/loss in the Fargo system. That's why they need full match scores to be reported.

My understand is they just count the games played. I don’t think they even care who won or lost the match. So let’s say you won the match 0-4, 4-3 and then 4-2 in the shoot out, Fargo would count a 4-7 score for your rating.
I'm thinking of starting a new rating system based only on spot shots. It will be called Helfertrate and you will be able to find out who the best spot shot shooters are and who is favored in a spot shot shootout. You can get a rating at home by shooting ten spot shots and sending me your results. And we will accept all ratings, so do as many as you like. I know this will go a long way toward moving pool forward in the eyes of the public and make our sport more popular.
I did seven out of ten today so I'm a solid 7 right now.

Might need a new event at DerbyCity with you as emcee. Shoot 'em on the Bigfoot table.I'm thinking of starting a new rating system based only on spot shots.

OneP is such a different game that there's really no way Fargo system would work. I know guys that are 600Fargo that can rob 700+ players at 1p. Fargo is really designed for rotation style games.
I think you have a nifty rating system.I'm thinking of starting a new rating system based only on spot shots.

You could have degrees of a 10 by adding the high run. So a 10 with a high run o 28 would be a 10.28
Lol, precisely...
Back on subject, the shootout shot should not count for or against the Fargorate, to me. Too bad it ain't up to me. I'd nip it in the bud.
Just saw him last night and we talked about this haha!

It’s not designed for any particular pool game. It would work equally fine for any one game. It just doesn’t work as well for mixing different game types together.

Did he enter any of these events? I've known him for 20 years and though he would be a perfect fit. He's got enough enough game to steal a set from a pro, and once it gets to the shootout I'd say he's actually the favorite over the pros.

--but here's a HelferRate contender worth checking out ...Spot shot madness by 12 year old Russian kid
From the video description ...
- Liza Grankina - PLAYPOOL billiard school student.
- Spring 2019 training camp, March 25-29 - 5 days training, 8 hours per day.
- Standard shots exerсise «3х3=10»:
- 3 positions for the cue ball + 3 positions for object balls = 10 standard shots (object ball on spot is played both sides when cue ball on spot).
- Aim - a group should make 10 points in total on each standard position.
- 1 point - 10 pocketed balls out of 10 shots (10 in a row).
- The group on the video is working on shot #4 - cue ball on spot, object ball on spot.
- Liza made 140 in a row!
Yes, this is correct.
That would be the Rabbirate systemI know you're just joshing--at least I think you are
