Doesn’t really matter what rating they handicap you at. All that matters to Fargo is how many games you win and lose and what the FR of your opponents are.
No they automatically make me play at 550+ since the first tournament I played. But for some reason fargorate listed my starter rating as a 480 even though I was listed at 550 in the first one
Your starter rating is long gone and irrelevant. Your 472 is legit now.
Well they tell me to stay sober and I might win. That’s what happened on NYE. I had 2 drinks and placed fourth. I have bad habit of overdueing it by about hour 3 of tournaments. I have at least 30 losses on there that I don’t remember. One night was falling over myself and knocking over tables. Lost 10 in a row guess I kept telling one guy was gonna kick his ass(at pool) and couldn’t even hold my stick.
Ah, the plot thickens. Maybe they’re raising your rating in the hopes you’ll stop entering.Well they tell me to stay sober and I might win. That’s what happened on NYE.

The reality is if you're an established 475 you're going to have a hard time telling the difference between your game and that of someone who is a 550 or 575 since players at that level aren't running racks consistently. Definitely aren't stringing racks together. The 575 isn't going to be cueing the ball dramatically different either. It's a subtle difference in tactics and consistency.
Damn what part of Florida is it? My brother lives in southern Alabama and I plan to visit him this year
The reality is over the past year in APA I avg 1 break and run per match in 8 ball or 20%.
Why wouldn’t you play like your established rating of 472? Are you saying you’ve been dumping a large percentage of your 383 games in the system to hide your speed? Or were you drunk for the majority of them? Or have you taken a break from FR events and gotten way better while not playing in any FR-reporting games?
I will in next couple of weeks. Working on insulation and my table is blocked. I never get less than 3 against the ghost in a race to 7. And that is what I am trying to say here. That is a 30% minimum break and run with ball in hand. No ball in hand with a shot on the 1. Does it really drop that much without ball in hand? No it doesn’t. Not when omitting racks that a ball isn’t pocketed on the break. Not at that level it doesn’t.
I can post one on a barbox but then will probably still get hate mail. My problem is I tend to miss an early ball against the ghost. My 9 and 10 ball ghosts scores are approximately the same. I’ll put up both. If I miss it’s usually the one the two or the three when shape is more important
7 or 9 ft table? 8-ball or 9-ball?
You won’t get hate mail, but the 9-ball ghost is definitely easier to beat on a bar box than a 9-footer.
Me too....
Meh... The defense is standard "stats logic".
To be clear, and unless I've missed something. Mike doesn't even speak about his app. Forget about arguing, as there is no argument...lol
"Talk" in the above context implies false promises from Mike and Fargo. There is zero talk about fixing or improving anything, so the only thing you're listening to are the app users who would like the to see the experience enhanced. I have yet to see any misleading/false chatter from Mike. Silence is golden as they say.
