Player rankings

The ranking system illustrates the relative standards of our players.

National rankings and ratings

Table Tennis England operate a national ranking and rating system, which includes singles results from domestic ranking events and also some international matches.

**Please remember, from September 2023, when the monthly rankings are published, the public lists will only show the names of current Table Tennis England members. Lapsed members will be named once they renew their membership and following the subsequent ranking run. Click here to read more about this.

The ranking/ rating year runs from 1 August to 31 July, and has separate monthly lists for men and women in Cadet (U15), Junior (U19), Senior (open age) and Veteran (O40) age-groups.

The lists are each published in two formats – ‘rankings’ are England-eligible players only, and ‘ratings’ show all players competing in Table Tennis England competitions.

Additionally, ‘filtered’ lists are available for sub-categories in the four main age-groups, eg U13, U17 or U21. The Table Tennis England ranking/ rating system is a relative ‘head-to-head’ system (ELO-based), with weightings for different tiers of event, and bonus points for higher-placed finishes in tournaments.

The rankings/ rating system is refreshed each season, as players progress in age eligibility or become inactive. The opening season rankings for the current season can be seen at the bottom of this page.

The ITTF override is denoted in the live lists by an asterisk (*). This is the mechanism by which players who appear in the international rankings are shown in the same order in domestic rankings lists
