I'll let you know how I do predicting tomorrow!
Wow, my whole Northwest team was bumped. I'm a benchwarmer on the team and was bumped. Looks like they cleared out the whole division.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the team or what district/level? I doubt there was any blanket bump up, early start ratings in particular should just be a snapshot of the dynamic ratings on a given date, so there must have been match results to justify it.
DeleteWe are 2.5's. My club is a stones throw from yours (MC), we came in second in our league. I know these rankings are unofficial but when I look on the TLS website they have me at a 2.18, and the people I beat are all lower than that, some in the mid 1's. Even the loss I have was against lower level competition. I just think its weird that our whole team was moved up.
DeleteI took a quick look and it looks l like at least a bunch of bumps were justified. And you are certainly higher than 2.18 so TLS is way off on you there. But 2.5s with a large number that are self-rated are difficult to rate.
DeleteThanks for taking a look Kevin. I play agianst the guys on my team all the time and find myself thinking, "If this is 2.5's then it's going to take years for me to get bumped to 3.0." So maybe I have a false impression on where I stand based on my teams hierarchy, which apparently does not coincide in relation to the rest of the league.
ReplyDeleteI was pretty sure the first stringers were going to get bumped and us second stringers would then move up into their spots next year.
