I am not sure exactly how rating works my club ranks then so I cant even tell you what my kids are ranked..I do know that my son has qualified for state both his years and my daughter also. However they have not placed they were out first two matches. My youngest is a first year and has only won one match this whole year..I asked my club what they put my kids at and here is what I found my son Deric and my daughter Leea A my son Travis D..so not sure how it works or what it all means but they seem to get good matches that are equal in skill for the most part so I think its probably pretty accurate. One question though if you have a D but they start winning 1st and 2nd most of the time do they go to a B then or finish year out at a D? and same for the A B C can they drop in ranking as year goes on?
