The next state title up for grabs is the Individual, on the 16th December - I'll keep you posted here LOL.

I'm in a bit of a quandary, actually...I'm increasingly unsure whether I should consider myself 'Intermediate' or 'Advanced'? BBO guidelines state:

Quote

Private
This indicates you do not wish a skill level to be displayed when people view your profile information.
Novice
Someone who recently learnt to play bridge
Beginner
Someone who has played bridge for less than one year
Intermediate
Someone who is comparable in skill to most other members of Bridge Base Online
Advanced
Someone who has been consistently successful in clubs or minor tournaments
Expert
Someone who as enjoyed success in major national tournaments
World Class
Someone who has represented their country in World Championships


"Comparable in skill to most other members" is a rather vague term. I doubt that most other members can claim to be the current holder of 2 State titles (even at a 'restricted' level), yet in general I find the tournaments on BBO quite tough. But can I really say that I am "consistently successful in clubs or minor tournaments"?

FWIW we also won the C-grade teams title at the Coffs Harbour SuperCongress a few months ago, and one or two other decent results in the last 9 months or so.

Please weigh in. Personal impressions of my standard from those who have played with/against me are welcomed.

Justin, there is a solution to this problem, coined by Wayne (Sceptic): Chose "Intermediate" and add a note "I'm better than most experts here".

Anyway, congrats with your victory, may many others follow :D
