Birriards, Rhea is correct, you are wrong.
I guess Shannon & Marge forgot to update Facebook. Here's a link to one of their tournament posts here on AZ. See where it says **NEW HANDICAP SYSTEM**?

Hi Geno. I am sorry to hear you lost your mother.
I see where it says that there is a new handicap system, I don't see where it says that I'm wrong.
If the "old" system had C players at a 6, what would make you think that all of the sudden B players are 4's? Please, the 3s, 4s, and 5s in the new handicap system are C- and D players.
By new, it means that the lowest handicap is now 3, not 6, presumably to accomodate D players that enter these.
They changed it, a 3 is all players up to C+
Here is an example of three legitimate skill level 4's all of whom are between B- to B+ in the GSBT under the new rankings:

I lost money gambling with her in Raleigh at Brass Tap.

She beat me in an even race to 4 in Albermarle, she also played Gene in the U.S. Open and scored better on the 9 footer vs Gene than on the barbox.

Gene, very sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my prayers.
Gene...Very sorry to hear about your Mom passing! Please be safe driving home. I'll be on the road today headed in the same direction. Lee Brett is also in the storm territory, just south of Kokomo IN, in Indianapolis. I'll be there Wed.

You are correct.
The point being that it is a "No Pros Allowed" event. Now we can argue who is and who is not a pro but what can not be argued is that it would be ASININE to have a ranking system that included "World Class Pro" when world class pros are barred from the event.
So the top end 11 is for AA and up (covering a broad range). 9's are A's and up (covering a broad range) etc... the new levels added below a 6 were added to open the field to attract lower level players below a solid C level.
C players weren't really winning at all on the GSBT and B's didn't fare a whole lot better. IMHO, they needed bigger spots against the A's and AA's in order to compete.
As with nearly everything else in this thread, you are a bit delusional and lacking the ability to properly clock players. Keep dreaming.
What would you be rated in these events?
4, and I'm not in the same zip code as a B player. I'm a D at best. And this is in Atlanta in pretty deep 60 person fields.
I played in ATL in one of Shannons tournaments, I was a 5. Maybe I saw you there.
Again you are correct! LOL.. a little green... for you...
