Everyone starts on 1200. Ratings change with every confirmed result. Only your username is public.

Everyone starts at 1200.

A separate rating in each sport, with no questionnaire or estimate of your level. Confirmed results and the strength of your opponents determine what happens next.

From the game to the leaderboard.

  1. 1

    You play

    The rating belongs to the player who actually took part, not simply the person who booked.

  2. 2

    The result is confirmed

    You enter the score and your opponent has 48 hours to accept or change it. No reply counts as acceptance.

  3. 3

    Your rating updates

    Your rating and your place in each sport change with your results and opponents.

Same win. Different points.

With the same K, beating a stronger team earns more points. Losing to a weaker team costs more. The score margin does not change the calculation.

Your team average is 1200, with K = 32. The table shows the change to your own rating.
OpponentWinDrawLoss
1000+8−8−24
1200+160−16
1400+24+8−8

The opponent rating is the other team's average. Changes are before any MVP bonus. For example, if your own rating is 1200 and you beat a team averaging 1200, you reach 1216.

See the exact Elo formula

First we take the average rating of identified players on each team and round it to the nearest whole number.

E = 1 / (1 + 10(B − A) / 400)

Δ = round(K × (S − E))

A, B
Your team's average rating and the opposing team's average, respectively.
E
The expected result. For equal team averages, it is 0.5.
S
The match result. 1 for a win, 0.5 for a draw and 0 for a loss.
K
The adjustment factor, based on the sport and your previous rated matches.
Δ
The points added or deducted, rounded to the nearest whole number.

We add Δ to each player's previous rating. The final rating stays between 100 and 3000. Players on the same team may have different K factors because of their experience.

Why does K change?

Your rating adjusts faster in your first games. As results accumulate, each change becomes smaller.

Football, basketball, volleyball and their variants
24
Table tennis and darts
40
Other sports, including padel and tennis
32

We count the rated matches you have already played in that sport. Below 10, the base K doubles. From 10 to 29 it is multiplied by 1.5. From 30 onwards it stays at its base value.

In your first padel match, K is 64. A win against a team with the same average earns 32 points. With 30 previous matches, K is 32 and the same win earns 16.

Three different things.

  • Player rating

    Your number in one sport. It starts on 1200 and changes with your results.

  • Leaderboard position

    Your position in a particular comparison of players.

  • League points

    Your performance within a competition, according to its own rules.

Play for yourself.

Your rating is shown by default and you can hide it from your profile. On the leaderboard you appear under your username, not your name. Playing and being part of the community matter without a public table too.

Which games count?

In a game created by players, everyone needs an account. For a booking entered by the venue, teams of up to four need everyone identified. Teams of five or more need at least half of each side identified. Teams must be equal in size, or differ by one when the smaller side has at least five players. Other games stay recorded without changing ratings until they become eligible.

How is the result confirmed?

A player enters the score within 48 hours of the game's end. The other side has 48 hours to accept or propose a change. Silence counts as acceptance. There can be up to two reports. If the second is also rejected, or no score is entered, the match does not affect ratings.

How does MVP count?

With at least three players who have accounts, there is one vote per booking, open for 48 hours. You cannot vote for yourself. The player with the most votes gets a bonus of 15 × votes / (eligible voters − 1), rounded to the nearest whole number with a minimum of 1. One vote is enough and tied leaders all receive the bonus. It is added once, after confirmation, and does not count as another match.

When do I get a leaderboard position?

After 10 rated matches. Players are ordered by rating, then by rated match count. If both are tied, a stable player identifier breaks the tie. Before 10 matches, you appear among new players without a numbered position.

What if a result is corrected?

Ratings are recalculated in match order from the starting value of 1200. The correction replaces the previous effect. If a game is voided, its MVP bonus is removed too.

Do I have a separate rating in each sport?

Yes. You start at 1200 in each sport and the calculations are separate. A leaderboard compares players in the same sport.

Does my rating reset each season?

No. League points follow that competition's rules. Your rating continues to reflect your playing history.

Your next step is your own game.
