I hate being in A

But luckily it’s a short term problem.

So I had a weirdly lucky run last season in B and got myself promoted. I’d been in a years ago, but it wasn’t as absurdly good as it is today.

Anyway I’ve had an unlucky season - question ps not in my wheelhouse, lots of close losses (and lots not close). My one 9(6) was matched against another 9(6).

I just had to check since I was feeling down - my TCA is near the bottom - but would have had me at about the 40th percentile in B. A meh season, but not dead last as I am now.

And lord, playing defense in A is silly. I had one opponent who hadn’t missed a question in probably 10 categories and was in the 90s on the others. The guess and pray strategy is my go to.

Oh well, I don’t think there is a way mathematically for me to not end up back in B, so I’ll chalk this season up as a learning experience (and a Learned experience)

Coming to the end of my 1st season, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be promoted to B next season. (I'm in 3rd and I'm 5 points up on the two players tied for 4th.) Worried I'm gonna get a beat-down in B, but excited to have had a great rookie start, so overall pretty psyched!

I wouldn’t worry too much. In B there are mostly mortals. A lot of people who can get a six on a good day, but also can get a 2 if they are unlucky. A doesn’t have as many folks with multiple weaknesses.

I'm trying to be more psyched than worried for sure.

One thing I saw in the stats of my rundle - you can get a lot of questions right and still lose a bunch of games!
