UHRL hardbat ratings have been updated slightly. There was an error
in one result from last June, which has been corrected. When errors
like this are corrected, it can cause sometimes effect all ratings
calculated for events subsequent to that date. Although, in this
case, it only affects a few players.

Here, then, is the top-25 list based on HARDBAT EVENTS:

Scott,
Thanks for the the correction.
Don't let this mistake happen again (Be perfect like Larry)

I also have good news to report.

http://faq.ittf.ws

Two more paragraphs added at the bottom (Some references to hardbat as well)

Also no more idiotic intrusive popups to install spyware. (I moved the site
elsewhere)
The address is still the same (just the absolute location changed)

Enjoy & visit often

Thanks, Scott.

New Jersey and New York each with six in the top 25 (D. Rosenzweig now
lives in NYC and plays at NJTTC) followed by California and Ge****a
with four each, very interesting. No other state placed more than one!
NJTTC has five of the top 15 and seven total. Now if we could just get
DZ to give it a try. Actually he has played for fun occaisionally and
is awesome of course but at tournaments he's too focused on the main
event. Barry and 2002 National doubles champ JJ aren't too shabby
either.

Glad to see you're so concerned about preventing idiotic intrusions. Oh, the irony!

Starting March 2004, after the AGM 2004,
merchandise with authentic Olympic symbols will be avaialble
for sale at discounted prices.
Website name will be released after AGM2004
name like i0c.org or 0lymp1cs.com or something like that
All proceeds goto to a charity of your choice such as
cancer / tumor research (symbolic of robotNazis) or
domestic violence victims (symbolic of spineless cowards).

Since IOC is promoting an illegal activity, the Olympic symbol etc
are no longer a property of IOC & become public domain.
Of course IOC is welcome to prove otherwise.

You are no longer required to be an USATT member to get a rating
You can save $28 / per year by not playing in tournaments
You can get your ratings just by playing in leagues

That combination bats are indeed part and parcel of the sponge domain
as are specialized styles does not, however, guarantee a level playing
field for players using them for defensively oriented or tactical
styles , even in a one-color, 38 mm. ball, 21-point table tennis
universe.
======================================
So what do you suggest ? Give the robotNazis more benefits ?
such as ban all pips & anti ? I am all for that

Unless there is equipment parity with respect to " tactical
or "defensive" rubbers above and beyond backspin spin continuance with
insufficient topspin spin reversal and deceptive utility by camouflage
and/or twiddling, absent any major technological breakthroughs, these
rubbers ultimately cannot but handicap even their most skillful users
relative to their peers who use the fastest, spinniest equipment
ongoingly available.
======================================

What the **** is this suuposed to mean ?

Would your proposal of one-size-fits-all (turn sponge game into
harbat game) solve this problem ?
