WHAT IS THE RATING SYSTEM & WHY DO YOU HAVE IT?
For the 2019 calendar year we have started in implement player ratings. The goal is to create a playing environment where players of a similar skill set can play competitively while also keeping player safety in mind. Our efforts to rate players is part of an ongoing goal to ensure the level descriptions as outlined are a true representation of the players competing within those levels. We are trying to prevent "sandbaggers" and promote player safety. In order for any individual to be rated, they will be evaluated in all skill sets of the game. Once they are rated & notified they will only be permitted to play in the division of their rating or higher, unless otherwise specified for specific events.
