[ UK Scrabble ratings ]
The approximate equivalency between NSA and ABSP (UK) ratings:
ABSP = (NSA - 500)/8,
is due to work of Jim Homan. More recently and probably more accurately (certainly more flattering to North American players)
ABSP = (NSA + 325)/11.4
has been calculated by Craig.

[6317] 1900: ###* [6335] 2000: #In the histogram above, each #, * or . represents ten rated players, the cumulative count is within [], and the number to the side represent intervals of 100 ("400:" represents ratings 400-499). For example, there are 55 players rated 1900-1999. There is a bump at 500 because that is the rating assigned to a player who wins no games in his or her first tournament.
(Here's a graphical version of that histogram.)
