OPL Ratings
From a score you submit to a rating you can trust.
A rating update is never the first event in the system. It is the final step in a verified chain—starting with an initial match proposal and finalizing only when participants confirm what happened on the court.
The Five-Stage Match Lifecycle
- Proposal: A participant records the players, location, and final match score.
- Verification: Opponents and teammates confirm the match details to validate the result.
- Persistence: The confirmed match data is committed immutably to the database.
- Rating Calculation: The rating and reliability engines process the new telemetry and update player metrics.
- Presentation: Adjusted ratings, match history, and confidence scores propagate to Player Stats and leaderboards.
Leaderboards are dynamic views, not fixed ranks
A leaderboard is simply a query filter—scoped by club, date range, or format (singles/doubles)—rendered over current rating values. Your rating is a persistent measure of skill; your leaderboard position depends on the specific context you are viewing. Every rank displayed is calculated directly from verified server state.
