Ratings & Ladder

Ratings

If you play in any of our “rated events”, you’ll receive a rating. These ratings are a way to get an estimate of your skill level, and help us to place you in matches with those around your skill level. The Brisbane Table Tennis club uses ‘Ratings Central‘ to rate all players, from beginner to world-class. Rating points are gained or lost by winning and losing matches in singles matches in tournament and weekly fixture results. The system is clever and factors in upset results or shifts a player’s standard deviation if they haven’t played for a long time. A brand new member will be assigned a rating based on results from their first tournament. The more matches that are reported, the more accurate the initial rating will be. 

Ratings Central is the brainchild of David J Marcus, Ph.D. Not only does it use a huge data set it also uses a sophisticated rating algorithm to ensure it is fair and accurate; click here to learn more.
