European players vs American players

[Rotating Rabbit]

Intuitively, one would think that the US sharks would be the best in the world (having joined from the start, where as most europeans started later, party expanded in the US first).

However, we spoke to Party and apparently they say that the average european player has less of an average loss (after rake) than the US average player. This would mean that a site without US players would be tougher, all else equal.

I think this is perhaps because the game isnt as popular/cultural in Europe, so only the more keen (ie good) players play.
