The Match Odds Training Plan
Read a rating gap as the few points in every hundred behind it, count your own serve and receive points, train the side you can train alone, and know your match-day break-even before you play
PingPongInfo's free calculators price table tennis in ratings. The Win Probability Calculator turns a 100-point gap into a 64% match chance, the Rating Calculator prices one match at a time, and the Serve Practice Timer runs intervals, but nothing connects a rating to the points that decide a match. While writing this plan we found the Match Handicap Calculator pricing a rating gap in points and getting it badly wrong: one point of head-start for every 40 rating points, which made the weaker player the favorite. It is fixed. The Match Odds Training Plan reads a rating gap as the share of points behind it, games to 11 won by 2 with deuce, over best of five or seven. It tallies your serve and receive points, prices a lift on each side in match chances, builds timed serve sessions with one serve to one target a round, works out a match day's break-even, and sets fair practice games. In the worked example (an example, not a promise), a player rated 100 under a rival is only 2 points in 100 behind, and 3 more points in 100 on serve takes their match chance from 31% to 41.3%. The ratings math is generic ELO: it does not compute or predict an official USATT, ITTF or association rating, and every point is treated as an independent trial, a model rather than a forecast. Serve practice comes with a plain line: warm up, build volume gradually, and see a doctor or physiotherapist for pain that does not settle. Included: 23 printable pages, seven steps, a match tally sheet, a four-week serve log, a match-day sheet, an odds reference table, a quickstart, and a personalised sheet worked on the figures you entered in our calculators.
