Finding your Fargo/or skill level when you don't play in leagues?

[qolbrand]

If you have the time I would point you to the BU exams but given you're only playing 10 hours a week I'm going to point you to Bowliards. One set should take you about 30-45 minutes and will give a general idea of how you play. Don't think you'll play one set and know where you stand, play 10 sets over a 5 day period and post your results, and we'll tell you where you stand.

Thread 'Using bowlliards to track progress?'

Nov 25, 2021

Anyone here use bowlliards to track their progress.

Long before YouTube, long before Dr. Dave and the Billiards University, and long before a zillion "pros" started coming up with their "systems" we used a game called bowlliards to track our progress.

For those that don't want to click through - in bowlliards you rack 10 balls (any 10 in random order) and break. All pocketed balls on the break get spotted and from there (depending on skill level) you can either leave the CB as is, put CB in kitchen, or take BIH...

There is a website devoted to it; however, I have not used it, I have either used a piece of paper for scoring or used an online bowling calculator and screenshotted the end result.

This is the bowliards website..

This is the only calculator I have used online...

IMHO, the ghost is good for people who can run the table (either occasionally or consistently), if you can only run the table 1 in 10 times the ghost will always win and will teach you nothing, bowliards will give a more finite idea of where you stand.

fargorate says im a 450 with no robustness.

1/10 is probably pretty generous for me, maybe 1/20 is more accurate, but when i play the ghost i dont start counting til i win a rack. Then its time to knuckle down and try to get two more before losing three.

ive gotten close a couple times but still havent ever got there.

i think what it teaches me is pressure, of which i generally feel none.

hope you are well Sir Chilli
