    ACROSS THE NET Melton Table Tennis February 2019 Edition 52 2019 PREVIEW, STARS OF LAST YEAR, STAR AWARDS WRAP, STARS AT PLAY, & MUCH MORE In this edition, we look forward to another year, look back on our presentation night, discuss the annual Star Awards, discuss the only American to win a Singles World Championship, and talk about government funding (or the lack of it). WE’RE BACK Another year kicks off, and it’s going to be a big one. The practice nights were well attended and introduced quite a few new faces to the club. We are already underway with our Summer season, and it’s great to see the hall full of happy, competitive people enjoying themselves. Over the next few months we can hopefully unveil some new initiatives around the club. Stay tuned for news to come. PRESENTATION NIGHT A ROARING SUCCESS What a great night we had at our 2018 Presentation Night. Good food, marvellous music, great atmosphere, wonderful friends, and over 100 trophies going to nearly 60 very deserving winners. Our club band, Ping Pong had everyone entertained with some great music all night long. Many thanks to Simon Reich, John Batty and Josh Dias for playing some great tunes all through the night. And how lucky we were to have Olympian, Paralympian, and Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist, Melissa Tapper as our guest speaker. Milly certainly entertained and inspired us all with her story, and was very generous with her time, talking to members and posing for quite a lot of selfies. But the star of the night was the magnificent cake made by Andy Stewart.

  • A Comparison of Rating Systems for Competitive Women's Beach Volleyball
    Statistica Applicata - Italian Journal of Applied Statistics Vol. 30 (2) 233 doi.org/10.26398/IJAS.0030-010 A COMPARISON OF RATING SYSTEMS FOR COMPETITIVE WOMEN’S BEACH VOLLEYBALL Mark E. Glickman1 Department of Statistics, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA Jonathan Hennessy Google, Mountain View, CA, USA Alister Bent Trillium Trading, New York, NY, USA Abstract Women’s beach volleyball became an official Olympic sport in 1996 and continues to attract the participation of amateur and professional female athletes. The most well-known ranking system for women’s beach volleyball is a non-probabilistic method used by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) in which points are accumulated based on results in designated competitions. This system produces rankings which, in part, determine qualification to elite events including the Olympics. We investigated the application of several alternative probabilistic rating systems for head-to-head games as an approach to ranking women’s beach volleyball teams. These include the Elo (1978) system, the Glicko (Glickman, 1999) and Glicko-2 (Glickman, 2001) systems, and the Stephenson (Stephenson and Sonas, 2016) system, all of which have close connections to the Bradley- Terry (Bradley and Terry, 1952) model for paired comparisons. Based on the full set of FIVB volleyball competition results over the years 2007-2014, we optimized the parameters for these rating systems based on a predictive validation approach. The probabilistic rating systems produce 2014 end-of-year rankings that lack consistency with the FIVB 2014 rankings. Based on the 2014 rankings for both probabilistic and FIVB systems, we found that match results in 2015 were less predictable using the FIVB system compared to any of the probabilistic systems.
