National Grading Scheme Grades
The NGS calculates a current grade and a grade band for each EBU member, based on the most recent 2000 boards, which is updated whenever new results for that player are received.
The value of your current grade is the scheme’s estimate of the percentage score that you would achieve on average if partnering another player with the same current grade at Match Pointed Pairs in a field of nationally average strength.
An average strength player therefore has a grade of about 50%, but there are no limits to the values of grades. The strongest players have current grades of over 60% and the weakest under 40%. The spread of grade values has a bell-shaped distribution. (For the statisticians, it’s approximately Normal with a standard deviation of around 5 to 6%.)
EBU grades have been divided into 13 playing card bands, ranging from ‘Ace’ at the top to ‘Two’ at the beginners’ end. Each band covers a 2% range of grade values, with ‘Eight’ having a range of 49-51%.
9 High competitions are limited to EBU members that have a maximum Grade of 9.
