I can relate. I recently went to a local "open play" and when I said I'm an advanced beginner, one of the players told me "(Rec Center x) might be more to your liking." Nice.

Gotta love us Villagers here in America's Friendliest Hometown.

Yup the friendliest hometown.

"Advanced beginner" is definitely labeled as such in Rec News, showing the location and times but it is overwhelmed by players who are not advanced beginners.

Last week I had to wait in line for over a half hour during an advanced beginner session. When my partner and I lost to two advanced players, the line was just as long as before. I decided it was not worth waiting another half hour to play again, just to encounter the same situation. Needless to say, the wait would not have been necessary if the higher level people weren't there.
