Very similar. It is based on the likely hood of victory given a point spread. For instance, a difference of 100 USATT rating points means the stronger player will win about 5 out of 6 matches. The USATT table of points one or lost based on the ratings difference is similar to the USCF table. It is based on a sigmoid function. The x scale has the ratings difference and the y scale goes from 0 to 1 which is a probability. This topic has been covered on this forum a year to two years back.
Oh yeah that's confusing alright😂😂Ranking points & rating points are different & are on two diferent databases (at least in USA).
On the Ratings database the player with most rating points has the highest ranking but it is indicated by lowest number #1
On the Rankings database the player with most ranking points has the highest ranking but it is indicated by the lowest number #1
Ranking points & ratings points are calculated using different methods however.
I hope this is confusing enough for you.

Somebody shared this in the forum and I am grateful to that person. It is a good guide to know where one stands in the greater scheme of things. However, I would be very curious, if some kind soul who is familiar with the USTTA rating, to assign the rating numbers against the categories listed therein. I mean, say if category Advanced Intermediate, what sort of ranking points range would this person has?
So, friends, what do you all think? Someone well versed with the USTTA rating can assign its corresponding value to the category?
My new club is using that website to keep track of match results. It has its own rating, but similar to USATT.FAQ: How to Improve Table Tennis Skill | LadderA

I know, I know, it is rather arbitary and subjective, but it would help a hell lot to forumers not familiar to the USATT rating.
Now why use the USTTA rating as a reference? Why not German? Why not Australia? etc. Now, it is because Gozo sense that the USTTA is referenced a lot in this forum for some reason or another hence it would be best to use it as the lingua franca, so to speak.

Maybe I am I just don’t care. I play for fun and ecxcercise. The rest is insignificant…My new club is using that website to keep track of match results. It has its own rating, but similar to USATT.
I am not sure about beginner or semipro levels or up but the descriptions about intermediate to expert levels seem reasonable to me.
@Lazer : Why do you think you are not at Advanced level yet? Do you give yourself enough credit?
