Players By Playing Level

Our league uses a proprietary algorithm that factors in results to create optimal "pairings" numbers based on a 4,000 point scale. Our more general "SOS" or Strength of Schedule number could be considered a playing level - that uses ratings 1 to 10. A loose conversion to the broadly used self-rating system would be 1 & 2 = below 3.0, 3 & 4 = 3.0, 5 & 6 = 3.5, 7 & 8 = 4.0, 9 = 4.5, 10 = 5.0. Here is a breakdown by playing level:
  • Self-Rating Below 3.0: 177 players
    • SOS Rating 1 = 59 players
    • SOS Rating 2 = 118 players
  • Self-Rating 3.0: 194 players
    • SOS Rating 3 = 102 players
    • SOS Rating 4 = 92 players
  • Self-Rating 3.5: 154 players
    • SOS Rating 5 = 87 players
    • SOS Rating 6 = 67 players
  • Self-Rating 4.0: 95 players
    • SOS Rating 7: 62 players
    • SOS Rating 8: 33 players
  • Self-Rating 4.5+: 22 players
    • SOS Rating 9: 18 players
