Appropriate Divisions

This is always the most difficult week of the year when it comes to new leagues . . . trying to get everyone in an appropriate division. I know most of you and have a pretty fair understanding of your skill level . . . but there are a handful that I have very little to no experience with to accurately judge your skill level so I have no idea if this week was a terrible week or your best round ever. I have put you all into the division I think you should be in . . . UNLESS you indicated a desire to be in a specific division. IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE with your placement please speak up in the next 48 hours if possible. If you had a terrible round and would like to be in a higher division let me know. if you had your personal best and expect to shoot 2-3 worse than you did this week ON AVERAGE . . . I might move you down. if you just want to compete against people of a similar skill level and your score indicates that . . . I am happy to accommodate. The one thing about my leagues that you need to understand is I pay the top 40-50% of a division instead of the top 30% like many leagues and tournaments because all that does is reward people for staying in a lower division. I want everyone to learn from leagues and challenge themselves rather than be complacent and only thinking about what they might win each week especially if they could be competitive in a higher division. I want everyone in a division to have a chance to win on their best night . . . as opposed to winning on a mediocre night because they are better than the rest of their division.

Recommended scoring based on past history and tonight's scores:

Open (<49)
Advanced (49-54)
Intermediate (54-59)
Recreational (>59)
Women (Any female that would not be competitive in the other divisions)
