Frequently asked questions
What's a good table tennis Elo rating?
Club beginners typically start at 1000-1200. Solid club players reach 1400-1600. National standard starts around 1800-2000. The world's best players are rated 2700+. ITTF and national associations use variations of Elo.
Why does beating a lower-rated player earn fewer points?
Because it's expected — your expected score against a lower-rated player is already high, so the actual points gained from winning are small. Upsets (beating a much higher-rated player) earn the most rating points.
