We had a discussion the other night with some other APA players from a different area. It revolved around the consistency of APA ratings from one league area to the next.
My thought was that since the APA is a national organization that the ratings should be fairly consistent. I have never played outside my area, never been to Vegas so I have no reference.
The other players who played in two different APA leagues and who had been to Vegas said there is a wide difference in the ability of players of the same skill level from one area to the next.
Do any of you have insight on why this may be? What are your experiences?
