No, I totally agree with you and I'm not doubting your rating or what so ever.
My point is, that there is a fundamental difference between the two systems and therefore, trying to match an US rating to a German league (or Austrian, for that matter) - or vice versa - is not necessarily that easy. Because even though your rating here is comparable to a range where it would fall into in Germany/Austria, after all, it is just a ballpark number.
In other words: by playing a couple of tournaments over the course of a few weeks here in the US, it is entirely possible to drop or boost in your rating by 200 points. In Germany, e. g. the results a of just a few matches over the same amount of time, will not have the same impact on as to whether or not your still a - for instance - "Landesliga-Spieler".
Again, I'm trying to contemplate the differences of the two systems - I am not questioning your statements or the fact that you established a solid rating above the 2100 mark.

I understand your point and agree with it. I was just looking for a ballpark idea.. What I've read so far here and at other forums, 2100 level is approx. Landesliga/Verbandsliga.. I actually didn't think that I could compete at that level in Germany.. The only way to really find out is to play there.. I probably won't play in germany but I do have a friend who plays Unterliga in Niederoesterreich for the SVS Niederoesterreich and before that, he played 1. Klasse in Wien (just below Wiener Liga (Landesliga Wien). He USED to beat me most of the time but that was a long time ago.. Haven't played him in 7 years and my rating is now about 250 points higher than when I last played him.. I'm planning a trip to Austria next year and also plan on playing some TT there.. I'll hopefully get to play some Niederoesterreich Landesliga players to see if I'll have a chance..
