Now that the regular season is over (XX and Shanghai didn't even make the playoffs), can we see a table like last year of each player's record? Hopefully a complete 2D cross table, so you can also see who their losses were against. Looking at You, Zeio..

Thanks Zeio.
Do you know how the coefficient for each player to calculate the "seasonal weighted total" is defined ?
And what is the coefficient of the players (maybe not all of them but for the top players) for men and/or women ?

Thanks.

The seasonal weighted total is a new point allotment system first implemented in 2012, replacing the former "dynamic weighted winning percentage".  The official name of the new system is "seasonal relative strength and appearance trade-off rating points".  It is inspired by the ITTF ranking system and extended to include consideration of the players' winning percentage, appearances, strength difference, point weight of singles and doubles etc.

In the new system, each player is allotted a number of starting points.  In 2012, that number is 100.  In 2013, using the data collected in the previous year, that number has been changed to 200 for premium athletes, 130 for first-grade athletes, and 80 for second-grade athletes.

For singles, points are added or deducted according to the rating point table below.  For doubles, the average of the rating points of both players is used for the calculation, and only 1/4 of the rating points are added to or deducted from each player after the match.

Players' Rating Difference	Points for Games Won		Points for Games Lost
	Expected	Unexpected	Unexpected	Expected
≥ 751	0	40	20	0
[501,751)	1	36	18	0.5
[401,501)	2	32	16	1
[301,401)	3	28	14	1.5
[201,301)	4	24	12	2
[151,201)	5	20	10	2.5
[101,151)	6	16	8	3
[51,101)	7	14	7	3.5
[26,51)	8	12	6	4
[1,26)	9	11	5.5	4.5
[0,1)	10	10	5	5

Due to the special conditions of the CTTSL tournament system, every player has a different rate of appearances.  Therefore, on top of the rating points, there is another coefficient, the dynamic weighted factor α, the calculation of which is shown below.



    where P is the rate of appearance, calculated by dividing the number of appearances by the maximum possible number of appearances.

Seasonal relative strength and appearance trade-off rating points = relative strength rating points * rate of appearance trade-off

    where the rate of appearance trade-off = rate of appearance * dynamic weighted factor

Added the rating point table to the post.

I like ZYL's game. It reminds me a bit of Waldner (no shouts, just my opinion ). It looks like it' easy, fluid and all in control.
Liu Shiwen thinks highly of her too. She said: "ZYL is a genius player". (maybe "genius" is a bit too much but I agree, she has a big talent, a great ball feeling, a bit like XX. I remember seeing some very nice drop shots from her after some fishings).

Here is an extract of a great interview of Li Sun, her coach and coach of ZYN and LXX :


Q: We think Zhu Yuling will be your next "grand slam" disciple. Is there any possibility?

Li: She has this potential, too. But it relies on whether she could beat indolence. She is talented, even more talented than Zhang and Li, as she has good perceptions, good sense of the hand feeling, rhythm, space, good concentration, and consciousness of fighting. However she is too far away from working hard. Maybe clever youngsters are all lazy, for they learn so quickly that they are not willing to spend time. Her technique is still not good enough, having a long way to improve, which all depends on bat-after-bat exercise. Only when you refine the basic skills of every bat to perfection, you can stand at the peak. Maybe she is too young to understand this. What I'm doing now is to fight against her shortcomings, but coach can only do a favor beside you. It is you who are supposed to conquer yourself. As fighting in a war, weapon matters though, the determinant of victory is the person using the weapon.

I remember a slightly different restriction from a couple of years back, when all the players were auctioned off - only one "world champion" per team. (Hao Shuai became very desirable because of that rule!) That may have changed since then though.

Because he wasn't a world champ?
