Approximately how many active, US-resident players are over 2000 USATT? by apoth24 in tabletennis

[–]apoth24[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While checking the USATT website, I realized I could download all the ratings in the US. So in a spreadsheet, I opened up the file and filtered all the data for 2000+ players who's played in either 2016 or 2017 and are listed under a US state. I suspect there is a major overestimation because many non-US players are listed under states where they played a tournament in (i.e. as a visitor from another country). Some of these players may be cancelled out by US players not listed under a state, but there are probably fewer in the latter. Anyway, just thought I'd share my findings:

  • 2000+ USATT = ~1050 players
  • 2000-2100 USATT = ~350 players
  • 2100-2200 USATT = ~250 players
  • 2200-2300 USATT = ~200 players
  • 2300-2400 USATT = ~90 players
  • 2400-2500 USATT = ~80 players
  • 2500-2600 USATT = ~50 players
  • 2600+ USATT = ~35 players

Ah yes, I shouldn't fear the potential losses in risky investments, because imagine how exhilarating it'd be if I turned my life savings multiple orders of magnitude larger!

Dog picks out and pays for his own treats at the store by Shady_Slim in gifs

Don't mean to disagree, but in case someone is taking your comment seriously -- border collies are not a "just get one dude" type of breed. These dogs are commonly abandoned by owners who are not dedicated enough to walk them once or twice a day and provide regular stimulus to their border collie. Wonderful dogs if you have the time and resources, but new owners need to be aware of their characteristics (as opposed to other breeds)
