<P><STRONG>--About GO ranking,extracted from <A href="https://www.goclubs.org/dbm/Sviewfaqs.php?fid=2">https://www.goclubs.org/dbm/Sviewfaqs.php?fid=2</A></STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>Caveats<BR></STRONG>Aim too low (weak) and folks might think you are a 'sandbagger', aim too high and you risk the embarrassment of losing all your games. <BR><BR><STRONG>If your interest is in getting a stronger AGA rating you should aim for the stronger end of your range. If your interest is in winning prizes you can enter at the weaker end of your range. <BR><BR></STRONG>Handicap tournaments reward people who have genuinely improved since their last official rating. Once you have an AGA rating you can enter at that level or stronger (with the TD's agreement). <STRONG>Winning all 7 rounds in a handicap tournament will likely increase your AGA rating by about 1.5 points</STRONG>. So if you enter too weak it might take you a long time to get a more realistic AGA rating. <BR><BR>Say your AGA rating is 25k but you think you are really 15k then entering at a more realistic rating of say 15k and <STRONG>winning say 4 of 7 games will quickly set your AGA rating towards your entering rank</STRONG>. Enter at 25k and win all your games will probably get you a 23k rating afterwards.<BR></P>
