Thanks, I think you gave me a pretty good idea what the ranking system in the US is all about. Though I wish I knew how to translate your points into our league levels. Usually when I introduce myself in any tournament the question is what league I play? Fourth .. but I could make it to the third if I was practicing .. okay ... ; ) Actually something similar to the US system could be interesting in Poland or even Europe ...
Playing or not I don't mind of course to pay for the tickets to watch pros. But here's a funny thing, many of my friends does not like as much watching high level tt as they prefer to play themselves. If it is to be a longer time spend on tt it is usually practice related. We organize those camps during summers with our befriended top polish player (80-90'ties). Please feel invited
Germany has something that is VERY similar already(TTR), not sure about rest of Europe. No idea how to translate USATT rating into your league levels, since the former is an absolute number and the latter is more of a band of ranks. To give you some idea, if you know TTR rating for some of your league players (Poland is kind of close to Germany, so there must be some cross-play) - just add 350 points and you should get a decent approximation of their USATT rating. As a reference, two Bundesliga teams (Post SV Muhlhausen and ASV Grunwettersbach) just played Joola Teams in November and their players ended up in the range of 2650-2800 USATT - not super accurate, since they did not have a lot of matches, but still something.
