Self-Ratings Guide
We ask you to self-rate when you sign up for our club. This helps us to match players on a similar skill level. You can change your self-rating at any point. Self-ratings range from 1.0 - 3.9. We require a tournament rating or club evaluation to play on the 4.0+ level. Please contact us if you are 4.0+ player.
