After 18 years of retirement a friend talked me into playing pool again. My first open tournament that is held once or twice a month at a local bar/pool hall I fell flat on my face and was given a 397 rating. I have shot in 3 tournaments since and each time working my way closer to the money. Last night I moved up to 3'rd and basically got my entry fee back. Two of the guys I beat have a fargo rating of 543... After my second tournament my rating went to 400 and hasn't moved since??
Any reason why my rating isn't moving? And why has my robustness stayed at 9??
Back in the day when I was somewhat of a hustler wannabe they didn't have fargo ratings (1976 - 1985)
Thanks
Ron

Possibilities:

The TD isn't reporting the matches.

Something looks bad in the data and it is rejected or pending.

Your results were given to a different name.

I guess start by asking the TD what's happening.
 
After my first match a couple months ago my first rate was at 397
after my 2'nd it went to 400 where it has stayed...
The last tourny was only a couple days ago.
I will give it a few days and check again. : )

Your games don't always get added right away. The TD sends the info to Fargo then it gets updated. Sometimes it takes a month before my matches get updated.
 
1-3 weeks after the date of the tournament is the average I've seen for updating.

Watch your robustness number. If it hasn't moved, it hasn't been added.

Also check to see if you were assigned a starter rating. If there is a 0 there, then you have not been. If there is a number there, you have, and it will affect your rating until you get to 200 games. Usually only BCAPL league operators can assign a starter rating. Local TD's can't (unless they also happen to be a league operator).
 
I'm thinking the guy running the tournaments here is probably a league operator and based my starting rate at 397 considering how I fell flat on my face my first tournament?? My rate has gone from 397 to 400 but robustness has not changed ?
Thinking that after my last tournament everything should go up?
