How Ranking Calculation Works
Our ranking system uses a sophisticated algorithm that automatically adjusts player rankings based on match results. The system considers multiple factors to ensure fair and accurate rankings that reflect true skill levels.
Match Result Analysis
The system analyzes each match to determine the winner by counting sets won. Only completed sets (with 6 or more games) are considered. The margin of victory is calculated based on the total games won by each player, giving more weight to decisive victories.
Experience-Based Adjustment
The system uses a dynamic adjustment factor based on how many matches a player has played:
- 1-10 matches: Rankings adjust more quickly to help players find their true skill level
- More than 10 matches: Rankings become more stable with smaller adjustments
This ensures newer players can quickly reach their appropriate ranking, while experienced players' rankings remain stable.
Skill Difference Factor
The system applies a skill difference adjustment based on the ranking gap between players:
- First meeting: Winners receive more points to account for uncertainty in initial matchups and to motivate and reward players for a wide playing group
- Subsequent meetings: Standard skill difference calculations apply
This means beating a significantly higher-ranked player gives a bigger boost, while losing to a lower-ranked player results in a larger penalty. The system rewards upsets and penalizes unexpected losses.
Ranking Stability Factor
To prevent rankings from changing too dramatically, a stability factor is applied using a sophisticated curve calculation. This factor:
- Reduces ranking volatility for players at the extremes (very high or very low rankings)
- Allows normal adjustments for players in the middle range
- Helps maintain system stability while still allowing for meaningful changes
This ensures that top players and beginners don't experience wild swings, while players in the middle can still move up or down based on performance.
Final Ranking Calculation
The system combines all factors to calculate the final ranking adjustment:
- Winners receive a positive adjustment (ranking goes up)
- Losers receive a negative adjustment (ranking goes down)
- The magnitude of change depends on match margin, skill difference, experience level, and stability factors
- All rankings are maintained between 0.0 and 10.0 to keep the system consistent
The exact combination of these factors ensures fair and accurate rankings that reflect true skill levels.
Doubles Matches
For doubles matches, the system:
- Calculates the average ranking of each team
- Applies the same algorithm using team rankings
- Updates both players' individual rankings based on the team result
- Maintains separate rankings for different categories (Men's, Women's, Mixed)
