发帖数: 2191 | 1 10分钟前刚收到，还没仔细研究。貌似搞了个副会员，不用交年费，每次比赛交20刀的
参赛费，疑似适合一年参赛1到3次的人。俺们这样当年交了很多银子的终身会员亏了还
是赚了？要研究研究下。哪位有空写个中文摘要，谢谢。

October 6, 2015
To the USATT Family,
It is my sincere pleasure to be writing to you today with some very exciting
news, which coincidentally falls on the one-year anniversary of my tenure
as the CEO of USA Table Tennis.
After spending the last six months studying many of the issues surrounding
our membership program, I am pleased to inform you today that, at my
recommendation, the USATT Board of Directors has approved a proposal to
modify our membership levels to allow you, our members and key stakeholders,
to better engage with the organization in a manner you see best.
The basis of the modification is to eliminate ratings fees. This will allow
our more frequent users unlimited play in sanctioned events, while at same
time allowing those who do not play frequently to "pay as they play" by
providing unlimited access to tournament passes. We strongly believe that
the flexibility in the new membership levels will increase the level and
amount of play in USATT sanctioned events system-wide.
An additional benefit of the platform, which will go into effect on January
1, 2016, will be to allow leagues to apply for "sanctioning," with those
leagues engaging in the USATT ratings system as further outlined below.
Leagues will not be required to apply for sanctioning however, and USATT,
through an agreement with our new membership management partner, Simply
Compete, will continue to support a league ratings system for leagues that
prefer not to officially sanction those events.
The new membership levels are as follows (see chart below for pricing):
• General Members. No ratings fees for USATT Sanctioned Tournaments
, USATT Events (US Open, US National Championships), and/or USATT Sanctioned
Leagues. USATT will continue to offer multi-year memberships under the "
General Membership" category.
• Associate Members. No membership fee. May pay on a per-event
basis as outlined below. Associate Memberships will only be offered on a
year-to-year basis, and Associate Members may not participate in USATT
Sanctioned Leagues. (Please note that, in accordance with the USATT By-Laws,
Associate Members may not vote in elections.)
The new membership pricing, which will go into effect on November 15, 2015,
is as follows:
Membership Type Associate General
Adult 1-year $0 $75
Adult 3-year n/a $210
Adult 5-year n/a $325
Junior 1-year n/a $45
Junior 3-year n/a $125
Collegiate 1-Year n/a $45
Household 1-Year n/a $150
Household 3-year n/a n/a
NCTTA n/a $45
Lifetime n/a $1,300
Tournament Pass (sanctioned) $20 n/a
Tournament Pass (USATT events) $25 n/a
Please note the following with regard to the timing and implementation of
the new membership levels:
• There is no additional fee for those members currently in good
standing.
• New membership rates will go into effect on November 15, 2015.
• New 3-year, 5-year and lifetime memberships may not be renewed or
purchased before November 15, 2015 (if you wish to renew or purchase one of
those membership levels before November 15, 2015, please call Andrew Horn
at 719-866-4583, x. 5).
• Memberships renewed or new memberships purchased between November
15, 2015 and December 31, 2015 will expire on December 31 of the expiration
year. For example, if you purchase a new 1-year membership on November 18,
2015, your expiration date will be December 31, 2016.
• You must be an Associate Member to purchase a tournament pass.
• Ratings fees will be discontinued on January 1, 2016.
Over the course of the next several weeks, we will be working with
tournament directors and our sanctioning coordinators to ensure proper
implementation of the new fee structure.
As noted earlier, in January, USATT, in partnership with Simply Compete,
will be assuming control of the League Rating system that was previously
operated and managed by Robert Mayer. As part of this transition, USATT will
now offer leagues the opportunity to operate as a "sanctioned league," with
the primary difference being that "sanctioned league" matches will now be
factored in to USATT ratings.
In order to properly process league ratings, all league participants (
whether sanctioned or unsanctioned) must be USATT Associate or General
Members. USATT will be providing an on-line tool for participants and league
directors to register and manage league participant membership data.
• Unsanctioned Leagues will operate similarly to prior years and
match results will not be included in the USATT ratings calculation. All
league participants must, at a minimum, be USATT Associate Members, which is
free. There will be no additional fees to the league or its members.
• Sanctioned Leagues will allow leagues to apply match results to
USATT ratings on a .5 multiplier basis (e.g., if a regular tournament point
exchange was 8, the Sanctioned League point exchange will be 4). All
sanctioned league participants must be USATT General Members. I will be
updating our membership further on the League Sanctioning process in the
coming weeks.
I would be remiss to not take this opportunity to thank Robert Mayer, who
for years has dedicated his time, resources, and energy to operating our
league system. The good news is that Robert will continue to be integrally
involved in the development, deployment and operation of our new league
rating systems. Robert, USATT's league system would never have been
successful without you.
With the US National Championships right around the corner in December, the
Olympic Games less than a year away, and other new developments coming soon,
I hope you share my excitement in what lies ahead for USA Table Tennis.
As always, I am available to answer any questions you may have.
Respectfully,
Gordon Kaye
CEO
USA Table Tennis

发帖数: 2191 | 8 俺觉得新系统不错，可以鼓励不常打tournament的参赛。
以前不是会员的第一次参赛，可以用one-time pass是10刀，加上rating fee 7刀，一
共也17刀了，比20刀就少了3刀。
好多人不常打的，按老制度需要交50块成为1年的会员，然后就打一两次比赛，很不合
算，这些人通常就更不愿意打tournament了。感觉在老的制度容易出现两个极端，要么
成为会员然后每年狂参赛（其实是没条件练）；要么就干脆不打tournament。改成新会
员制度后，像俺们这样喜欢以赛代练的，肯定还是年度会员较好，因为75刀就比以前贵
25刀，但是没有rating费了，3-4次比赛基本就break even了。
不常打比赛的（不超过3次/年），每次比赛20刀，其实也挺好，以前为了打一次比赛（
比如东北部很多人一年就打一次NA Team）必须交50年费，新系统貌似更好。

发帖数: 2191 | 9 以前那个one-time pass只能打一次，10刀，加rating fee 7刀，一共17刀。再打的话
，只好改个名字和地址了。
平均一年打1-2次的确实很适合新系统的副会员。
