What SetMatcher does

A rating for every sport you play, with singles and doubles apart.

Your rating is an Elo rating and everyone starts at 500. When you win, you take points from your opponent, and beating someone rated above you earns more. A one-sided score counts a little more than a close one.

Free to sign up, and ready for all seven racket sports.

An Elo rating per sport and discipline, settled after fifteen matches.

How it works

Before a match, the gap between two ratings says how likely each side is to win. Beat the odds and you gain points, fall short and you lose some. Strong players gain little for beating a beginner, and new players move faster for their first fifteen matches while their rating finds its level. In doubles, each pair counts as the average of its two players.

Your rating only moves once the other side has confirmed the score. If a result is corrected later, every rating after that match is worked out again, so everyone ends up where the right score would have put them.

Good to know

What one player gains, the other loses.

Ratings only move when points change hands between the two sides. A winning streak shows on your profile but earns no bonus points. A match played with a head start for one side is not rated. A walkover, a default or a no-show moves nothing, but a retirement counts, because a match was played. A rating never drops below zero, and there is no ceiling.

Where you find it
  • Rankings
  • Players
  • Profile
  • Rivals
Rankings put ratings in order for the circle you pick: your clubs, your town, region or country, the people you have played, or everyone. Next to each rating you see a level from 1 to 10 for a quick read. A club committee sees one ranking across all its groups, and players who share their rating only with the people they play are left off these rankings.
