INTERM
INTERM-PLUS
ADV
ADV-PLUS

OR SOMETHING LIKE IT

THANKS

The ratings are already mostly meaningless because they're self-assigned and inaccurate. Adding more gradations isn't going to help things at all.

P.S. Please don't write in ALL CAPS, it's hard to read and is like shouting.

Newbie
intermediate
Adavanced
Expert
Star
World class

Did you forget Cheater and Cheater-plus?....lol

They used to have a site that calculated your "standings" placing you in a range of beg to int to adv. to exp......but they took it away over a year ago...

[rayos]

fake expert
intermediate and always will be but with good personality
intermediate
intermediate because fails to plan and count
advanced when goren was alive
advanced
advanced and modest
pseudo-expert
expert
crypto-expert
star

ratings are overrated...

[Al_U_Card]

how about...

follows suit (not an online consideration but useful)
cant count to 13
forgets to count to 13
forgets to count
bids any hand like it was (and will be with me) his last
bids his hand ignoring all information during the deal
uses bids he has "learned" whether appropriate or not
ignores signals
sends wrong signals
sends right signals at wrong time
is wrong and refuses to acknowledge it
is wrong but acknowledges it
is right and stays quiet
is right and says so
expert

how about...

he's bad, but not as bad as the player who will take his seat when he leaves
he's bad
he's realllllyyy bad
he's in contention for the worst player on BBO

can't follow suit, even when playing online
follows suit (not usually an online consideration but it means his computer works)

can't count to 13
forgets to count to 13
can count to 13, but is too lazy to be bothered with it
how many cards are there in a suit again?

bids any hand like it was (and will be with me) his last
bids his hand ignoring all information during the deal
uses bids he has "learned" whether appropriate or not
uses bids he has "learned", but never actually learned real meaning of bid

ignores signals
sends wrong signals
sends right signals at wrong time
wouldnt know a signal if it jumped up and bit him on the ass

is wrong, but is so clueless he doesnt realize he is wrong
is wrong and refuses to acknowledge it
knows he is wrong but acknowledges it

thinks he is right and says so, but is normally wrong
is right and says so

expert/is right and stays quiet (these two are equilavent in my book)

[Al_U_Card]

You got that right!.....oops, ahh sh#t, I didn't stay quiet so I guess we know what that means....
