๐Ÿ“Š How Ratings Work

One unified rating โ€” Singles and doubles matches both contribute to a single ELO rating. Everyone starts at 1500.

Per-point scoring โ€” Your rating change depends on your actual point performance (points won รท total points), not just whether you won or lost. Winning 11-2 earns more than winning 11-9.

Smart doubles scoring โ€” In doubles, we calculate your "effective opponent" using:
Effective Opponent = Opp1 + Opp2 - Teammate

This means:

The formula:
Rating Change = 32 ร— (Actual Performance - Expected Performance)

Fair, transparent, and no mysterious "volatility" numbers. Just skill vs. expectations.
