You might have a lot of bad information now that you put in the ranking system you're looking at. Under your scale, I'm a solid B, but I chose C+ in the poll based on what I'm used to. I'd bet I'm not the only one. That's a pretty forgiving scale.

I'm on the other side.. I'd like to think B+, but the scale said B. I'll err on the side of caution and just go with a C.
 
'Knows nothing about position play' really spoke to my game.

I voted accordingly, without respect to the flip side: makes all balls anyway!
 
B+ but the older I get the better I played when I was younger LOL

I'm just curious what the numbers will look like...I'm not trying to start an argument or anything here...Feel free to post your answer.

Edit: This is the rating system I'm going off of

AZ Nat. Description
10-2 A+ Top professional. World class player. Capable of winning major professional tournaments. Almost always finishes in the money in any tournament entered.

10-1 A Professional, or player possessing professional skills. Capable of winning local open tournaments. Usually finishes in the money in regional tournaments.

10 A- Semi-pro, or player possessing professional skills. Capable of winning or placing high in the money in local open tournaments.

9 B+ Advanced. Very good position play, strategy and consistency. Top league player. Consistent competitor in local open tournaments.

8 B Advanced. Good position play, strategy and consistency. Good league player. Competitive in local open tournaments.

7 B- Intermediate. Fair amount of knowledge and experience, but inconsistent in execution. Average league player.

6 C+ Intermediate. Has learned quite a few shots, but has a lot to learn about position play and strategy. Inconsistent.

5 C Novice. Has a grasp of the fundamentals, but does not know much about the physics of the game. Lower-level league player.

4 C- Novice. Very basic knowledge of the fundamentals. Knows almost nothing about position play. Lowest-level tournament player.

3 D+ Novice. Knows little about the fundamentals, but might know a couple of shots. Average social player.

1 D- Novice. Knows nothing about the game except maybe a few rules of play.

according to this im a b-.
 
I'm in the camp who thinks that scale is skewed to favor weaker players. I'd be a B- on the scale you are showing, but a C- in the real pool world.
 
I'd like to say I'm a B+ but my level of play varies way too much... So, after 15+ years of play B it is...

Here's a video comp from a session a few weeks ago.... Warning, my cue ball is pretty weak on this day

I feel that I move/kick better than I run the balls... Can't see that vs ghost obv....
 
I don't know about leagues where you are, but the description for # 7 says
the average league player has a fair amount of knowledge and experience.
I don't find that to be a true statement.
 
Our system is different down here. But I've won events and cash out when I play.
I play once a week now and always feel I can take down anybody on Earth
if I catch my gear. Problem is the older I get and the minimal I play, catching that
gear is getting tougher and tougher.
 
By OP's scale, I am a B or B+ Depending on the day. Once I learn how to eliminate the "depending on the day" part, I will be an A,

Here in kingman that doesn't hold true but in the larger cities like phoenix it seems to hold a little more weight...when I lived out there I was a 7-8 depending on where I played and that is where the majority of the players stood...
 
nothing like flying under the radar!;)

one of these days I'm gonna come off the lemon and play like the B+ player I dream of being!

Not sure of my real speed. Others tell me I'm an A-. Check out my list of nick names. Do know I need serious weight from Banks ;) :D :sorry:!!!

Lyn

Sorry John :sorry:
 
Woops, voted before reading the OP's rating list. I voted A, but am not a professional like stated in the OP. I guess under that list I would be a B+ or A-, but the skill level list looks a little skewed. Its like you classify the weaker players really detailed, but players that can run out a little are grouped into only a couple groups even though there is a huge gulf between what most people call an A player and a top pro.
 
I don't know how to interpret that ratings with strategy, positioning and running.

My high run in 9ball is 4pack, 10ball is 2pack and only got 29 balls in straight pool. where will I fit in?
 
I would say B-. I have/had a wealth of knowledge and even after a long absence, am told I have a beautiful stroke. My eye issues and meh attititude keep me from ever really moving past that level. My knowledge and creative strategy keep me from being lower when my eye is giving me trouble. I do have flashes when my eye stays clear and I am mentally focused that I play higher, but it is rare.
