Self-rated ranking system. Please choose an appropriate rank number using the following as a general guideline.
 

-1 You are out to win at all costs.  You will yell at your team-mates if they are not playing up to the level you expect of them.  You regularly argue calls, even those on other fields in games you are not involved in.  You will run people over to get the disc. 
0 You are a Rookie (absolute beginner). 
1 You know the basic rules of the game. You have played in pick-up games but have never played in an organized rec league. Your forehand and backhand are improving on the sideline but are still inconsistent during the game. 
2 You have played in at least one organized rec league before. You know how to stack. You know what 'Force Home' means. You can throw the forehand well on the sideline, but still throw it away in a game. You are able to catch almost all good throws during the game.
3 You have sound athleticism and decent to good disc skills and field sense. You make the occasional mistake. You get burned occasionally. You can throw a decent forehand and backhand accurately during the game. You may have played in a handful of tournaments both locally and on the road.
4 You are a better than average to advanced player. You have played in numerous team ultimate tournaments. You have very strong catches and throws. You have a good understanding of offensive and defensive strategy. You might be considered among the top 25% of the Ultimate players in the valley.
5 If a local, top-level team went to regionals/nationals, you're good enough to be on it. You seldom drop. You seldom throw garbage. You play very smart. You run extremely hard on both offense and defense. You can lay it out. You can break marks. You are considered among the top players in the valley.
6 You are a legend in your own mind.  Nobody is better than a "5".  You are penalized 4 ranks for self-delusion.  Go run some laps.
