: nor do I get the point of your post.
Ah, the point. There is no point really. I'm just trying to relate the NSA rating level with the performance level here. I myself am rated exactly one point higher than you in the NSA after my one and only sanctioned tourney, and have a similar winning percentage as you here, yet cannot, nor will I ever be able to match your bingo finding prowess, not to mention your superior 6's and 5's. My tourney experience is limited to one sanctioned and one unsanctioned, and with only 10 months of club play, this doesn't give me the greatest perspective of the overall talent level out there in the NSA. As I said, if you are a true representation of a mid 1200 level NSA player, then I, along with many others shall look forward to wallowing in the nether regions of live play for eternity.
Version 1's Qrazyqat, ummm, I mean unmasquer opened the door for this debate, I just poked my head in and had a look around. Your stats are readily available here and in the NSA crosstables, so it made researching quite easy. Now that I have a clearer picture of the level of play as per ones' NSA rating...I won't be wasting any time or money travelling to tourneys. If you can't beat 1200 and 1300 level players regularly, what chance in hell have I got?
