Wow, this season certainly has shown that the "autoleaguers" can more than hold their own against the "Tour only" players.

I don't see the point. We're all auto-leaguers. Ich bin ein Auto-leaguer. Auto-leagues are where we all started.
The point I and penngray and others have raised is that it's more difficult to maintain a high winning pct when you play with tour members than when you play in auto-leaguers. And this has been more than ever proven this year.
When cristano was playing .600 in auto-leagues last year, it was proof already that he was a heck of a player. But what we pointed out is that his winning pct would be lower when he'd be facing tour players. And indeed he has dropped to .550 playing time. Just like me. My autoleague pct, last time I checked, was around .620. My vet-pct is around .550.
As we speak, looking at the controversial 2005 ranking, now that cristano, riggo and myself are playing in vet leagues and are maintaing winning pct in the .540-.550 zone, the new leaders in this category are now players like jbwt, gkhdilla, gthomas, and our good friend the biomechanical man (who are all, as far as I know, playing in autoleagues), who are all playing over .575++. Does that mean they are .40-.50 better than us??
The watermill wheel turns forever, though was is uppermost remains not so.
