With the League membership, you get practically ALL teh benefits of the FULL
memebrship and more.

Only thing missing is the magazine. Who cares ?

From what I understand,
You get your rating which may be inflated because you will be playing
against
a player who plays in tournaments.
This way you get a USATT rating just a like a tournament member.
Given the fact that thee is no glue testing at even touraments , you can use
all kinds of lethal glues & get your inflated rating.

Why bother players to encourage to play in tournaments

The concept of rewarding the guilty ( cheap bastards & bitches who won't
support USATT
by $10) and punishing the innocent ( tournament players) prevails again
What else is new ?

This is what the website says
========================================
6An Associate membership is available to those who do not intend
to participate in sanctioned tournaments, or coach, officiate, serve
on committees or on the Board of Directors, but wish to support
USATT and its elite athletes.
==========================================

So what they are saying is that they do not want older (tactical) players to
participate (with their abnormal equipment ) but would rather take their
money
to support a a handful of glue-****ing child criminals (elite athletes my
ass)

Tabletennis by its very nature is a sport mostly for adults but yet
USATT wants to spend most of its money for a stupid medal
which they will win when hell freezes over

Just after AGM 2004, when the IOC (ITTF) will **** up as usual

by being stupidly defiant in sticking to the Aspect Ratio rule & the

Glue Ban reversal , the first targets in peaceful & lawful notification

would be the Olympic Xcel Card Sponsors (United Air, Marriot etc)

Colleges & Community Centers in USA / Canada

I have been extremely patient in believing that IOC (ITTF) would

do the right thing & waited patiently for 5 years. It is abundantly clear

that there is not even a remote possibility that IOC (ITTF) will do the

right thing & IOC(ITTF) will continue to allow the robotNazis to enjoy

overwhelming advantage at the lower levels using the (no chemical

inspection but tough visual inspection) concept in addition to the

already "legalized" idiotic advantages such as the 2 color rule, Aspect

Ratio, 40 mm ball, pip density rule etc etc.

This is a daly reminder to all USATT members that they can $28 a year by not
being a full member & yet enjoy almost all REAL privileges & more by just
joing as a League member (Costs only $12 > You save $28).

Read Pong Li's post below

If I were a full member I would call USATT headqaurters & ask them to demote
me
to a legaue member & ask for a prorated refund.

Daily reminders will be posted to help loyal USATT members from getting
robbed by the USATT.

DUMP YOUR full membership NOW
You can still get your ratings...........probably can get (& keep) a higher
rating by
just playing in leagues only & avoiding tournaments.
