Tuesday night is our hall's USAPL Fargo 8Ball night. Roughly 30 teams play.
My race was 85 to 29 (I had to reach 85 before my opponent got to 29).
Now, I have no issue with giving up weight and playing lower ranked players every once and a while. I think it's a challenge playing lower ranked players and it's a different type of game altogether, kind of fun. Plus, it lets me watch new players and see if they might be worth working with (if they are truly interested and willing to learn or just there to have fun with their significant other/friend).
This being said, I think there is something inherently wrong with the scoring system (race system) of the Fargo System. I won 6 straight racks and received 14 points each rack and still had to play through an entire extra rack because I needed 1 more point to reach 85.
How frustrating. I'm of the opinion that this variable of the system is just silly.
