German 3 Dan Inflation
You, too, can call yourself 3 dan! Who cares if you're not actually that strong?

Are these EGF percentile ratings of a sampling of German "3 dan"s, or something?
Tamsin: While I can see your point, MGoetze, don't you agree that it is a little bit cheeky for an 11 kyu to be complaining about "weak" 3 dans?
AlainWettach: Even at Dan level, the EGF ratings do not necessarily reflect the real playing strength of the players. This is certainly caused by the limited number of computed results. I just had a look at the German list and some of the "weak" 3 dans have a very limited number of tournaments computed. For some of the players, the last results are one or two years old. This is the problem of every rating system: if you don't have enough data, it can only be approximative.
