Hi,
it's hard to tell a player's real rating since Maven is known to screw up the numbers - I've seen players with ratings over 10,000 and also minus 3,000.

My real-life NSA rating is 1025 or thereabouts. My ladder rating steadily climbed to about 1150 - then suddenly, the next time I played, it was listed as 900 !!! (I use a different name when I play off-line against Maven so it wasn't a case of mixing games) Now I'm worried that if I play one of the few obscure bingos that I know, that my opponent might think I'M cheating because of the low rating!!!
