What do the STAR RATINGS on ping pong balls represent?
[2007-06-22 15:44:04]

Q: Ok, so the more stars the better quality of the ball but what is the actually attributes/characteristics that make it a better ball. And... how come this information is so hard to find on the internet, and it's not on the ball boxes either? I believe

A: 3 star is the pro quality balls. the 1 and 2 stars are generally crappy. they can be oblong in shape, be less bouncy than they should be, and can bounce awkwardly. heres a site on it.scroll all the way to the bottom

NBA Draft Lottery 2012: Assessing Ping Pong Derby Entering Back Half Of Season

20.05.12

The NBA season is half over, so we're halfway to the 2012 NBA Draft Lottery. The annual event gathers representatives of the worst teams in the league so that a lottery machine filled with numbered ping pong balls can determine who ought to get the first, second and third picks in the NBA Draft. Once the ping pong balls make their decision, David Stern changes it around however he sees fit*, and then we have our draft order.

Every team that misses the playoffs has a shot at the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 pick (unless they have already traded their pick, like the 2011 L.A. Clippers ). If a team -- say the No. 5 "seed" Toronto Raptors -- doesn't win a top-3 pick, they will either pick No. 5 or lower, should a team behind them in the seeding leap into the top five. So all of the teams below can pick no lower than three picks later than their slot; that would require three teams leaping them in the proceeding. This most frequently happens to the very worst team in the league, who has in the past fallen to No. 4. That said, the two worst teams are guaranteed a top-5 pick, and the third worst team comes pretty close to that guarantee.
