There are widely accepted guidelines.

My assumption, rating/DUPR =
2.5 to 3.0 = Beginner
3.0 to 3.5 = Advanced Beginner
3.5 and higher = Intermediate
Seems strange Villages Rec doesn't reference the PCVG, DUPR ratings. Without those, players should do a self rating.
Less than 10% of 3.0 rated people receiving a PCVG skills rating in 2023 advanced to a 3.5 or higher. Some dropped back to 2.5. People tend to think they are better than reality :-)
