Points for each match
Each tracked match earns points based on which court you played on and whether you won. Higher courts are worth more, and a win adds a bonus. The result is scaled to 0–15, so it means the same thing however many courts you use.
That makes it ideal for up-and-down-the-river nights, where the best players work their way to Court 1.
Your rating
Your rating is the average of your last 20 match scores. The player profile shows a chart of them and a breakdown of how your current rating is calculated.
Seed ratings
An organiser can give a player a seed rating (0–15) as a starting point, like a handicap. For the first 10 tracked matches it's blended with real results: 90% seed after one match, fading to nothing after ten.
On the profile you'll see something like "Seed 4.0 (90%) + Matches 15.0 (10%) = 5.10, 9 left". "9 left" means nine more matches until the seed has faded out.
What the symbols mean
- ~ in front of a rating: provisional, because the player has fewer than 5 tracked matches.
- Unrated: a player with no seed shows Unrated until they've played 3 matches.
