The Anderson Scale and Other Guides to Form

/The Anderson Scale and Other Guides to Form

The Anderson Scale was devised by Robin Anderson, a redoubtable Old Malvernian and stalwart of the Halford Hewitt.  It is based on the principle of one point awarded for each overall match won and is a rough guide to form.

Robin Anderson devised the Anderson Scale in the 70’s and interest in it led to the founding of the Trivia.  Robin represented Malvern from 1959 – 1990 playing 115 matches during which he enjoyed a winning run of 15 matches when partnered by Clive Edginton.

Anyone tempted to study form as a guide to performance in this year’s Hewitt should remember the old advice, “the value of your investment can go down as well as up”!!
