The Tel Aviv Scrabble® Club

Club Director: Evan Cohen

Introduction

Ratings are calculated according to players' performances in official events. They reflect each player's skill level. 
The system is used to form divisions in tournaments and facilitate pairings. The "logic" behind ratings - they predict a player's chance of victory against an opponent. If a player does better than s/he was "supposed" to have done, his/her rating goes up. If they do worse, it goes down.
As of July 2006, the following ratings system is maintained by Evan and includes all internationally recognised tournaments played in Israel.  
Many Israeli players don't limit themselves to the local arena and compete internationally. In these cases, they may have international ratings too. The international ratings can be found here, and the ABSP (Association of British Scrabble Players) ratings can be found here.
If you have any queries contact Evan. If you wish to organise an event and have its games rated, make sure you contact Evan before the event.
