Given the bias towards bump ups we saw from the 3.5 level, it isn't a surprise to see more bumps up than down, but the 3.0s take it to another level. This is probably to be expected as 3.0 is a level many new players start at and as they improve, they'll be bumped up. So there are certainly a lot of new 3.5s to replace those that got bumped up to 4.0.
And while a few sections stand out being bumped up more than others, notably Caribbean and Southern California, there are fewer anomalies at this level.
Any thought to throwing up the player's chart you were discussing on Wednesday? Might drive the point home.
ReplyDeleteJust curious--Do you have any raw numbers for us data hounds? For example...My question specifically is...How many total players were rated 4.0 women in the PNW for 2014 and of that total how many got bumped down to 3.5 and how many got bumped up to 4.5?
