There is currently a thread titled "Sandbagging thief" or something similar in the Canadian Pool section of the forums, which prompted me to start this thread.
I am considering playing in a tournament which has 4 divisions, they are listed as B,A,AA, and Masters. The BCA league in which I play is ranked completely differently. There are 8 divisions and I play in the third or fourth from the top.
I hadn't played league in about 8 years and when I started this season I joined a division that was 2 levels higher than the last time I played, thinking I should fit in well. However, my individual stats put me in first by a healthy margin, so I asked my league operator which division I should enter in this upcoming tourney. He told me that I should enter as an A based on the league division in which I play.
My concern is that if I do well and win easily, people might get ticked off that I played in that division. I would rather play in the proper division and have to earn a win the hard way. Trouble is, I honestly dont know what the proper division would be, and the last thing I want is to be labled a sandbagger type. What would you all suggest?
