New USATT Rating Features  

By Larry Hodges

Since the USATT ratings were contracted to North American Table Tennis, there have been a number of improvements, as had been promised. Improvements include:

1. Faster Processing. Ratings used to lag behind for months; now they are normally within two to three weeks.

2. Faster Rating Histories. They now load much more rapidly. 

3. Rating Charts. These colorful charts graph any player's rating, tournament by tournament, going back to 1994. It also lists the player's highest rating achieved, and won/loss record for each year.

4. Customizable Rating Lists. You can now do sorts and create lists based on numerous criteria, including by:

   1. Age

   2. State

   3. Gender

   4. Date of last tournament played

   5. Rating ranges

   6. Current USATT members only or not
