I'm down 10 with this latest update. Total 15 point drop since my injury last year.
I find it interesting how ratings seem to lag about a year (makes sense since they use 12 months worth of rounds). When I was improving rapidly I was averaging 970-980 rounds when my rating was still Intermediate level. Took a full year for my rating to get up into the 970s. As it did though, I injured my finger and stopped practicing/playing. My game became incredibly inconsistent and average play dropped to about 930-940. That was last summer/fall and just now my rating is finally starting to drop as those lower rounds are filtering in. Down to 961 now but should continue to drop since I'm still not back to full health.
