Week 16 League Results and RATING DETAILS

Here are this weeks results..
________________________________________________________________________________
As most of you might know, we moved to a more enhanced rating system recently which has caused a bit of confusion, excitement and in some cases discontentment. So, I wanted to make EVERYTHING clear about how our new system is put together. I won’t go into detail here but ALL detailed information is now listed on our site at:

http://pugetsoundtabletennis.com/about-us/our-league-rating-system/

A quick overview..

Rating points are calculated on the difference between the two players.

We use the same exact system as the USATT.

We NOW offer 4 different rating adjustments so that GOOD players are NO LONGER stuck working for years just to make it up to higher tables:

1. 70 % winning ratio over 13 + attendances = 100 point adjustment (Once per season)
2. 350 – 449 rating difference. Lower rated player (win) earns 75 points instead of normal 50
3. 450 & up rating difference. Lower rated player (win) earns 100 points instead of normal 50
4. 4 & 0 – This is the big one and EVERYTHING is put in detail at the link listed above. Please take the time to read everything if you have questions, send me an email…

PLEASE BE COURTEOUS TO ALL OTHER LEAGUE MEMBERS AND VISITORS…SAVE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS UNTIL AFTER LEAGUE OR AFTER LEAGUE HAS BEGAN AND THERE IS AN OPPORTUNE MOMENT. ADDRESSING CONCERNS DURING OUR ANNOUNCEMENT TIME DELAYS LEAGUE AND CREATES A BAD ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYONE. THANKS!

So with no further adieu…

CONGRATULATIONS TO JOSEPH CALUGAS! Joseph is the first person to receive the 100 point rating adjustment for a winning ratio OVER 70%!

Joseph just crossed his 13th attendance and has an incredible winning ratio of 80.4% WOW!

And CONGRATULATIONS TO GREG BENSON! Greg is the first person to receive a 100 point adjustment for beating someone more than 450 points above his rating level! We may have underestimated that guy :).

NEW |:::::::::::NETS:::::::::::| at PSTTC!

Hey everyone!

Great news for Puget Sound Table Tennis Club! As you probably noticed, last night I had all the nets spread out over the floor and tried to put together as many usable nets as I could. Well unfortunately there were only about 4 that were usable and only 1 or 2 of them were good quality. So… After talking with Joseph and looking at the club’s finances we decided that it was time to fulfill our 1st goal that we promised in the beginning… BUY NEW NETS!

We will defenitly need EVERYONE’S help to keep them in good condition and to buy balls from Joseph to help balance out the cost but here is what will be coming. (either this next Tuesday or the Tuesday after depending on how fast they ship to me)

6 Double Happiness Nets, including supports and measuring tools



*** Along with the 4 GOOD net sets we already have this will give us a total of 10 NEW net sets ***

UNFORTUNATELY ALL BUTTERFLY NETS DID NOT GET RETURNED TO ME LAST NIGHT. I AM MISSING 1 BUTTERFLY NET SET. IF ANYONE REMEMBERS PUTTING ONE OF THE NET SETS INTO THE BACK ROOM OR REMEMBERS WHO PUT AWAY THE EXTRA TABLE WE PUT UP BEHIND THE CURTAIN PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS YOU CAN!
