It is likely that many of your matches will be with other Villagers, however, many of those Villagers will be playing, or have played, in non-Villages tournaments. Some will be playing in DUPR events up north in the summer, or in venues across Florida.
It will take some time to get meaningful data, but it will be far more inclusive than just Villages events.
