Professional Players FARGO Score
Ed Mercier
Anyone who isn't familiar with Larry, suffice it to say that he is a
professional player. One of the best in the Midwest.
He played a few rounds of practice, and then he played two complete
games. Over the course of the session I could see he was doing some
experimenting with softer breaks once in awhile, and the ball
placement. When he was done, he was blasting the balls as wide open as
possible. He also liked placing the 1,2 and 3 balls on the three
corners, and the 4,5 and 6 in the second row, and in the middle of the
third row respectively. In the end Larry said he liked the game. I
could tell while he was playing that he could also find the game very
frustrating as many of us do.
Larry has not been playing much recently, and didn't feel he was in very
good form. He scored rounds of 188 in the first game, and 224 in the
second game. To the best of my knowledge that score of 224 is the
highest FARGO score that I am aware of by anyone at this time.
In the end he seemed to agree that an average score of 220 is probably a
good cutoff for a professional player. This was the first time Larry
had ever tried this game. I am quite confidant that if he were to play
it at all regularly, that he would score above 220 most of the time.
For the analytical types, here are his scores:
1st game - 188 total.
6,5,3,2,4,2,2,5,10,3
18,6,24,8,18,14,26,12,10,10
2nd game - 224 total
4,7,3,6,4,2,2,3,3,2
6,16,24,12,22,26,26,24,24,8
Note that in the last game he missed only one ball in the middle 8
innings. And he was switching to the rotation phase on average between
the 3rd and 4th ball.
