Skill Level Definition:
Updated April 17, 2011

The following skill level set is intended to be used as a guide when either instructing a clinic, teaching friends to play or as a helpful mechanism in determining a player¡¦s level for entering Ladder play. It is not intended, for example, that all A Players have the skills listed, nor B, C or Novice. It is useful to know, however, what you should strive for at any given skill level. Each player¡¦s level of success will vary widely for each of the skills within each set. Some of the ¡§Open¡¨ players may be very successful at many of these skills while a lower level A player may have only limited success at many of these skills. The same holds true for the B, C and Novice player. The point is that you can use this list as a guide to improve your game.
