Reviewing Competition

Competition:

Mostly this has to do with the kind of players that show up to the field. How good they are is only part of the evaluation. Sportsmanship is of an even higher consideration when it comes to me rating the level of competition. Does a local tourney team show up to overshoot the newbies, or are the more experienced players good natured and welcoming/teaching those who are still developing their game.

Some may say that it isn’t fair for me to rate the level of competition because it is out of the field owners, but the how the field is run has a lot to do with what type of players continue to show up week after week. Do the refs keep teams balanced? Are tournament players grouped together with rec players? How friendly are the games to new players? And how do the refs/owners deal with players who make the games un-enjoyable for the others on the field.
