I with a regular partner and occasionally others and play at a number of local clubs and score reasonably well averaging 58/60% annually at a club level regardless of which local club....

What benchmarks do u use to judge ability at a club level given the wide range of ability?

I tend to look at an annual score rather than a session score but am interested to know how people self rate locally and what expectations people set for their partnership?

Do u consider MPs or Teams a truer test of ability?

I'm yet to venture into the wonderful world of congresses .... lol

Play some tournaments. That will tell you how good you are. Club games vary widely in strength of field.

The question for me is not how good I am I rate myself as a purely competent club player just intrigued to know how better players know how good they are.

My intermittent experiences of tourneys is the same club players migrate to tourneys too on the quest for Masterpoints...!

They know it from how they do in unrestricted tournaments (no upper level for masterpoints).

Track your batting average... this is calculated as follows...

Total Masterpoints won/Total possible master points...

Doing this, win a little club game, say top point award is 0.46 masterpoints, you will get 0.46 added to the top and bottom of that equation. But when club championships, etc roll around, the total points are more so placing or not placing can push your average up or down. This is not an accurate measure of your skill, but if you win a four table event, it doesn't count much, win a two session 50 table thing, and it does.
