The facts are, it does show who takes on lower ranks more often than others. Simple as that.
Which, according to jpliberty, shows the true skill in a player!
Ahh yes, but as my codicillary remark points out. It would be incorrect to assume this was the only gauge. What this does perhaps help show is where certain players actually are in the grand scheme of things. It is no surprise that just about every sport is split into divisions. We do not have this on cc. So this kind of play is allowable. If the scoreboard were to be cut into divisions (that is to say, you can play within your division until accumulating enough points to move up) this would not happen.
let us be absolutely frank. This is but further evidence of what is already common knowledge in many cases.
For the record, I come in at 745...which actually is starting to look pretty average for senior players...so far...I have run a check on few other players I know (and had a sneaky feeling were in fact farmers...and yes, it confirmed to me what they really are).
