Another "what's my rating" thread

Maybe somewhere between 1800-2000?

If you were for aggressive with your fh, you would be at a much higher level.

Actually a Turkish guy living in US told me that he was 1850 and I beat him easily 3-0 . But I heard that there is a difference in west and east costs in terms of competition. So raitings may vary in different states...
Maybe I should wait for a serious tournament and record those matches...

From the videos, you look about 1800. But of course tournaments can be different.

When I watched those videos I didnt like what I saw. I'm just too lazy and slow. But its not my best thats a relief... Other than that I want to know what my US rating is because everybody talks about their ratings and I want to know where I stand. ps: I'm the black shirt guy.

 from what I've seen, thats a bit too high, but he's well above 2000.

I've seen 2000 USATT rated player. I think you are better. Roundrobin estimation is fair. Above 2000 under 2100. If you are not a bit lazy with your FH, I would rated you higher, closer to 2100.

in between 2000 and 2100 sounds right to me.

 You seem to have a nice playing style and good spin ability.  Also many of the USA posters don't have a official USA rating either .

I'm playing 3 days a week, 3-4 hours a day.  There are super, first and second devision on our country. I can play in second and first divisions. Actually I can play in super league too but I got no chance against that guys...  But there is no raiting system in here.
Red shirt guy is playing for 5-6 years and thats the main difference between us.(I'm playing for 10 years) I'm a guy who emphesis his opponents weak points. Red shirt guys name is Bora. And he is very very good if I send him fast and spinny balls. But he got problems with slow and dead balls. Thats why I kept blocking.
I do lob a lot too. Depends on my opponent.
I'll put some other vids from serious tournaments. This will give better idea I guess...

That's why I am using Zermelo to submit the tournaments to RatingsCentral and hence try to comply with their criteria which are almost identical to those of USATT.

ok Im sorry I didn't know it was almost identical, (very small laugh) I thought it was way too extream for two people in the US to actually agree on someones rating. I find it easier to understand what level a person plays in thier own Country firstly because in this case TSubasa plays in regular high level competion. So to me he is a high level player from Turkey. I know Tsubasa wanted people to guess his rating so I blameing anyone as he probly asking out of interest.

RatingsCentral is arguably "more accurate" than USATT rating (in terms of fine granularity, and finding subtle rating differences between a group of players over time) but it's also very deflationary (when used on closed groups of players over time).

For example:
Compare Thor Truelson's USATT and Ratings Central Rating and History since 2006
USATT 2188
Ratings Central 2086

According to USATT, Thor is a high 2100's player who peaks around 2300 and spends much of those four years time in the 2200's.

According to RC for that same period, Thor was a 2400+ player who has slowly and steadily been declining to a high 2000's level See Graph .

Which is accurate? Well, Ratings Central has more match results, but many of them are against the same players. So part of what you are seeing there is a "correction" from an artificially high initial rating (2500?) and an adjustment "within the group".

What RC does really well is allows players from geographically different groups (established leagues, especially) to play seeded matches with somewhat more predictable results.

TL;DR Report
RatingsCentral and USATT are similar, but USATT ratings are usually slightly higher for the same player, especially if the RC matches are more frequent.

In my own case, for example, RC only has records of me playing in informal weekly meets during '06-'07 at a local university, were the organizer decided to submit the results.  It was a club where I was one of the sponsors and I only played there for a good time, not for serious competition.  Those who know me know that I always bring different bats and rubbers to try in practice matches, so I am a little surprised that RC considered those matches as the measuring stick of my level.  At the same time, RC completed ignored the results of the 181 USATT-sanctioned tournament matches that I've played from '06 on.

Here is another vid .
After 5 serious matches I Was all Tired and I hate to play against that Guy (short pips On fh and he just Keeps the Ball On the table ) So What do you think about that Clip?

it is impossible to guess rating looking at selected shots.

just like if you see the videos on my signature, i will look much higher rated than i actually am.

there are few things that decide ratings:
- maturity of your shots (one can assess this in videos)
- accuracy percentage (one cannot assess this in videos)
- age and mobility related decay (one cannot correctly predict it through videos)

So Tusaba.. i can only say about the first one. Your shots are fairly mature, but not much penetrating. So if your error percentage is low then you are high rated defender/all rounder ... if your error rate is high then you are lower rated all rounder.
