Best way to establish Fargo
I recently joined BCA. With never having a Fargo the league operator talked to several players that know me and they started me much lower than I expected. 565 considering my captain is 637 and I am better than him, I was surprised. Later find out the majority of the league is below what their fargo should be.
I use to play BCA way back when handicap wasn't Fargo and it was 1-10 number. So I was familiar with format and rules. But didn't realize each week I played I'd only get 5 Robustness because of playing only 5 games. I've played 3 weeks which is 15 games. Week 1 was 4 wins and 1 loss where I broke dry and he (a 495) ran out. Week 2 was 4 wins and 1 loss where I missed 1 ball and he (about 520) ran out. Week 3 was 4 wins and 1 loss where a 378 broke and ran on me - yes a 378 (who is an apa 4/5) broke and ran on me for his first break and run ever. Each week the Fargo changes were +3, +3, and +2 to have me at 573. I'm not really sure how these are being calculated - and with nothing other than win or loss recorded it doesn't really show innings, how they win/lose.
But after 3 weeks I've going gained 15 robustness and it will take me forever to get my robustness up to 200.
How else do I build this robustness if there are no local Fargo Rate tournaments?
I've heard of salotto but never tried it
any other options?
