  1. USATT Ratings down?

    It's behind. They sunsetted SimplyCompete without fleshing out JustGo. No idea how long it will take them to get up to speed.
  2. USATT Ratings down?

    From the email subject: "Action Required: Manage Your USATT Membership in the New Just Go System" Simply Compete had my US Open results on Dec 30th. JustGo doesn't have them. I don't think you'll find your ratings there any time soon.
  3. USATT Ratings down?

    From what I understand is USATT on SimplyCompete was sunsetted at the start of the year. Gone. It is no more. Now it's all JustGo which is clunky and slow. It does too much and doesn't flow well in its current state. I was at the club and we couldn't even find where our ratings were.
  4. US Open Table Tennis Championships-2025 (16–21 December 2025)

    All valid points. I managed to do all but #2 - Competitive. I did enjoy losing to high level players as well as making new friends and everything else. Maybe now that I know better I can navigate such an event and my expectations better the next time around.
  5. US Open Table Tennis Championships-2025 (16–21 December 2025)

    Man. It seems like everybody has it tough.
  6. US Open Table Tennis Championships-2025 (16–21 December 2025)

    I did see some unsavory parents yelling at their kids. I forgot to consider them. I do see some difficulties setting up a cleaner tourney. Such as increased number of players in each event. That might be mitigated by subsequently inflating ratings. I suspect the TD must have intervened in...

    Wow. Thank you for the reply. It is very informative.
  8. US Open Table Tennis Championships-2025 (16–21 December 2025)

    I can see why players are under classified. I heard some people complaining about under-classified players in the high rated events, using the term sandbagging. I don't take issue with that because of the valid reasons why someone may be under-classified such as 1, 2, 3. I'm simply left...
  9. US Open Table Tennis Championships-2025 (16–21 December 2025)

    That's a shame. She entered ten events to include the U1000, U1300, and U1400 and defaulted in the first round of each. Presumably after winning the U1500 and U1200 on Tuesday followed by U1700 on Wednesday she was either convinced or forced to default on the U1400 later than day and the, U1000...
  10. US Open Table Tennis Championships-2025 (16–21 December 2025)

    This was my first event and all the sandbagging left me pretty disillusioned. I feel bad for the first time lower rated players who paid a lot of good money to travel and play only to be thwarted by rampant sandbagging. It seems few are lucky to advance out of a sandbagger free group and single...
  11. How do I save this old Timo Boll Spirit?

    @Robin0910 I'm not sure. It was out of the butterfly 50% off return table. @pong99 I thought about that with the iron as I've seen it for wood floors. I don't imagine it would be good for the layers and glue of a blade. I'll do it but would like to know how to do it safely. Some of the...
  12. How do I save this old Timo Boll Spirit?

    Piggybacking on this thread since I got a TB Spirit for $50. Does anyone know how I can raise/improve the depressions on the blade face above the handle/serial number? Would it affect play and even be worth addressing?
  13. Building A Table Tennis Tournament App

    I'm happy to see the password reset feature now added. I ended up making a second account to access the website in the meantime. (Android 😢) I'll shoot you an email to delete the second account. Two things I wanted to ask about is how does the app know who I am? Can I enter my USATT ID? Second...
  14. Anybody watching 2025 Tokyo Deaflympics?

    Oh wow that's very interesting and awesome to hear. There's a table here that's showcasing a bounce buzzer I suppose to bridge the gap. It buzzes when the ball bounces off the table. Now I think it's more aimed at deaf viewers for some tactile input to watching the games and not players. It...
