I'm a bit insulted that I'd be considered someone who hasn't ***** out of state when I've only competed in a single out of state event since my return, and about 25 others before, where I've ***** plenty.
If you're talking about any tournament where OOS is in attendance, I won a CGC 4 tournaments ago, and I'm pretty sure Fly beat SS/Scar last time he went to norcal and got what...4th? Lovage just got 2nd @ NSH? And yeah, Norcal and Socal count as 2 separate "states". Lucky/Zhu have done better out of state, but others have ***** OOS too.
That's a foolish list. And lucky/zhu/larry don't "suck" in socal either.
Might as well add a "good when not drunk" category too.
That **** list is abysmal LoL
You could place people in tiers so as to not rank people within tiers when the talent is too close, but these categories are ********.
I really think out of state matters a lot more than local
and updating this sounds like a great idea
I agree 100%. However, there should be little to no discrepancies between ****** out of state and ****** locally, they should go hand in hand, but they don't here in Socal.
It's a huge, goofy, problem, and I have no idea what's going on.
It happened back in the days when DSF would win every local, but choke oos. Except those who ***** OOS would still get top 2/3 everytime locally. There's no reason for lucky to get 13th at a local after getting 7th @ a national. Same with zhu.
IMO, it has little to do with ability, and there could be outside factors screwing up results, like bad controllers, poor sleep, idk, something. In considering such factors, putting these people in categories would pretty much beg us to ignore such factors and pretend that Lucky really can beat Amsah and Dr. PP, yet lose to Light and Eddy Mexico on the regular.
And that sounds ******** to me.
