For example -
My tournament rounds are TYPICALLY above/around my rating. I'm a 930 rated dude, and that is what I usually shoot at tournaments. I've had my share of 975s and my share of 900s this year. K. I feel like I play pretty well in a competitive setting.
But man, I HATE to play at league night. I never, ever , ever play well. I don't know if it is because I am playing alongside people I know, so I don't concentrate as hard. I don't know if it is because some of the people I am playing with are 810 rated guys and I let the pace of play screw with me. (I get irritated with a lot of dumb stuff too. That is my fault solely. I get it. I shouldn't let people playing music, and recounting every single shot they make, and smoking the whole time get to me. But man, I sure do)
Thoughts on this at all? Am I the only one who has this issue?
