Grading System - How does it work?
The UKPA has a grading system which if different from the International grading system.

The Grading System covers the range from 0 to 20 

Reason for the difference
The reason for this system is to allow for the improvement of players that the international system does not allow for and to allow better players entering the country to have an adequate grade. For example the best UK player is now on a 16, so when the best players in the World come over they can be graded up to 20. When the international system was used the best UK player was on a 9, but the highest grade we could give was a 10.
Another reason for the increased number of grades available is the give a wider range of grades to better reflect people of different standards. For example with the international system there may be 3 players of different abilities on a 7, but now with the new system they may be on a 9, a 10 and an 11.
