As you are most likely conscious, a substantial quantity of job has actually been carried out in current years to assess as well as develop future alternatives for a ranking system for Table Tennis England.
The assessment workout that began in 2019 throughout our subscription, as well as succeeding comprehensive modelling, wrapped up that a ‘relative’ system, instead of an ‘absolute’ system was better, which is the system we currently have in area today. The assessment at the time chose a loved one system as it was taken into consideration best-suited to both songs as well as group occasions, mirrors the top quality of challenger, as well as is fit to both routine as well as ‘occasional’ gamers’.
The drawback of the ‘relative’ system, is the considerable intricacy when contrasted to the less complex ‘absolute’ system, as well as we know some obstacles in the existing system that contribute to the intricacy. On the basis of the assessment as well as modelling, we have actually established budget plan apart to start a brand-new as well as better loved one system for a smoother customer experience– please note the repairs do not transform the total intricacy.
However, prior to continuing down that course, I united a little team of volunteers, consisting of 2 participants of our Board, that know with our ranking system, to guarantee we are green light on the activity that is required.
I am identified that we develop the most effective customer experience we can which our position is viewed as an inspirational pressure (instead of demotivating which I am worried it is for some presently).
Please be ensured that while we will certainly never ever have a ranking system that benefits every person, I am listening to the responses being revealed as well as we will certainly react to it.
