Table Tennis England Local Rankings

Table Tennis England provides local leagues with Rankings based on results in various competitions. One way to raise your ranking is to do well in tournaments around the rest of the country. But mainly its on your local league results. It's just a bit of extra fun as far as I am concerned. I note there are players below me whom I rarely beat, yet some above me whom I usually defeat. It's all about some mysterious algorithm but nevertheless based on actual results. These Rankings feature on each local league website.

Here are some current Grimsby League Rankings: Sean Ward 1, David Heppenstall 2, John Hancock 3, Mike Thornley 4, Chloe Lingard 5, Jon Corry 6. There are 142 Ranked players in Grimsby.

My Nemesis Team: Phil Sharpe 39, Myself 49, Brian Lomas 77.

My Facebook Friends: John Whitfield 26, Dave Hall 76, Ray Corke 90, Darren Aldous 101. (All these are Thursday Morning Practice Regulars). There are 142 Ranked players in Grimsby. My Lincoln League Facebookers: Jack Blyth 14, Mike Tindall 40.
