How to use statistics & rankings
What the numbers mean
Where do rankings come from?
Club rankings are calculated from valid recorded match results, not from attendance alone or the planned fixtures. Open Statistics and choose the correct club or group.
Are rankings shared across every club?
The rating model is club-local. The same player can have different playing histories and ratings in different clubs. The Statistics area lets you select a club; it is not an official worldwide ranking.
What is the starting rating?
A new rated player starts at 1,000 in the current model. The first ten rated games are provisional and adjust faster while there is little playing history. Special test/demo fixtures may contain seeded figures and are not real sporting records.
How does winning or losing affect ratings?
The model compares the expected strengths of the two sides. Winning against stronger opposition generally earns more than beating much weaker opposition; losing to stronger opposition generally costs less. In doubles, both partners and both opponents contribute to the expected result.
Does winning by more points improve my rating more?
Not in the current model. A win has the same rating outcome whether the score margin is small or large. A tied recorded result is a draw. The underlying score is still retained as the match result.
What do games and win percentage mean?
They refer to recorded results included in that view, not booked sessions or unplayed fixtures. Wins, losses and draws should be read with the game count; a high percentage from very few games is a small sample.
Corrections and missing information
Why have rankings not changed after I attended?
Attendance is not a result. Check that the match scores were saved for the right session and players, refresh the club and allow processing to finish. Unfinished fixtures and matches involving guest identities do not contribute to account ratings.
What happens when a result or player is corrected?
Supported corrections recalculate the relevant ratings from the retained result history/checkpoint. A later ranking may change because earlier expected strengths changed. Do not manually alter another result just to make the final number look right.
Can I correct a very old result?
Detailed correction history is limited. The current rating engine retains a recent replay window of roughly two months, with older outcomes carried into a checkpoint. Use the available controls and contact support if a historical correction is no longer supported.
Why do two players share the same displayed rank?
Equal displayed ratings can share a rank. Small underlying decimal differences or rounding can affect presentation; compare the displayed rating and match history rather than treating every list position as a separate certified rank.
Why does Statistics open the wrong club?
Open App/Account settings and choose your Default club / group. This preference is shared across your devices and the website. You can still change the club in Statistics.
Can I compare myself with professional or external rankings?
These figures are organisational estimates for your club’s recorded play. They are not a federation rating, handicap certificate or a reliable cross-club comparison when the player pools and histories differ.
