Pure ELO Rating System v3.0
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.
