True words, yet the rating is a system built upon showing what you are and what you can be in the past. If they really wish to get better they should move up in divisions and play to the levels of their capabilities. No they may not win, but they will get better because of it. In this case they both had a reason to play their rating (competing for something as special as a state berth). But I however, even though my rating is 884, am chosing to never compete in am3 again as it would not be fair to myself, nor would it be fair to others. My rating shows what I have done in the past. I know it sounds like a lot of bs coming from a am3 rated player, but look to the near future and I believe my rating, game, and win streak will be skyrocketing. I've developed a brand new style of play a few weeks ago and in the few test rounds I've played it's shown amazing results already. I also have a newfound drive to be the best I can be, so look out world, I'm coming to get you!

What I'm trying to say is the rating system doesnt show who you are now. It is accurate for more experienced players, but for those like Corbyn and Caleb who are going up in the rankings so fast, it is not an accurate judgement of the player that they are. Corbyn was truely and am4 player a year ago, but now I believe he can compete on an am1 level, at least in short accurate based courses like Goldenrod or Holly.
