I play over in the county of Lincolnshire, England. The system is whatever my partner prefers to play: mostly multiple variants of Acol, 2/1, Precision, Blue Club and EHAA.

Pity one can't add pictures to comments, but maybe that's not a bad thing these days!
Here's my first attempt at an infographic on the basic concept of gathering, storing and serving of the global dataset of played hands. Comments enabled.

@Ping Hu, I'm convinced by your decision to base ratings primarily on partnership results per board.
Partnership ratings fit in perfectly with the partnership♠ ethos of bridge and that the most basic, reducible unit of measurable performance is not a collection of boards (a session), but the boards ...
Is it not within the remit (i.e. responsibility) of the self-appointed global body, the WBF, to figure out with its NBOs a common, global grading sytem, with migration paths, and then help as many NBOs transition to it?
