Competing and Tournaments How high level are Area Opens?

I've done a few Area Opens like London and the NHC and I always find the really high level people are there, I know there level 4's so most be relatively high level. But how hard is it to do well in them.

Compare to what? the level is relative to your level, a pro will probably steamroll the London Open.

Like compared to national and international events, not like Olympics.

Don't know the national level of the open, but the international level of the event is very low.
I don't think you will find a truly top Judoka in an event like this.
