Weekly Review #4
📝 Summary
📊 Current Rank: 3.25 (DUPR Coach Assessed)
This was a big week since I was scheduled to take my first DUPR evaluation clinic. I'd heard so much about ratings being randomly inflated based on tournament entries that I was grateful to learn that my area supported official DUPR coach ratings since that would at least be more in line with skill rather than the match up you happen to get.
That said, I got to play a few games this week that was a balance of casual rec games and challenge games. On top of that, I was able to play with my dad for one of the sessions which was great since the ability to spend quality time with family and friends is one of the biggest reasons I've become such a big fan of the sport.
- Casual Games: 3W - 2L
- Challenge Games: 4W - 2L
- Teaching Games: 0W - 4L
✨ Highlights
- 🗓️ Event: I attended my very first DUPR Evaluation Clinic! I'll need a whole dedicated post on it, but it was a fun (and grueling) experience which was a first taste as far as the competitive nature of the sport. More to come in another post.
- 🔬 Research: Got to continue my lessons with local pro Christian Dominguez and experience the woes of playing against him. That's why you see the 4 loss record in this week's teaching games 😅.
🗺️ Next Steps
Whelp, I have an official rating now, so the official journey to 5.0 really starts here as I wait for DUPR rated games to get entered into the system. Here goes nothing!
