I am highly doubtful that chefs new to the site would even find ANY open games where there are players ranked above major.
New players are the equivalent of a Private First Class. Major is a good rank if you can maintain playing it a variety of games. If you stick to the same handful of maps and settings to keep your "high" score then you're clearly not as good as you like to think [obviously this isn't directed at you mookie]. Players ranks will fluctuate of course; mine does all the time, but then I currently have over 270 active games. I have never played for rank and in the past couple of years I've dropped to Sergeant 1st Class once, and hit a high of 2999. One day I intend to drop my count to under fifty, play for rank and see where I go.
The best players, in my opinion, maintain Colonel+ in all manner of games.
