Rankings
All-time player ratings — an ELO rating system built from every league, Team KO, Singles KO and Doubles KO result, all time.
How the rating works
The Leaderboard uses an ELO rating system — the same style of rating used by FIDE for chess, FIFA's official World Rankings, and Elo-based systems used across online gaming and chess platforms like Chess.com. Every player starts on 1500. Every time you play, your rating moves up or down depending on the result and the strength of your opponent.
Beat someone rated higher than you and you gain a good chunk of rating. Beat someone rated much lower and you gain very little — you were expected to win. Lose to a lower-rated player and you drop more than you would losing to someone stronger. There's no separate "win" or "loss" points value — it's all relative to who you played.
What counts
Every finished frame or match across every competition feeds into the rating, all time — it never resets between seasons:
| Competition | What's rated |
|---|---|
| League | Every singles and doubles frame |
| Team KO | Every singles and doubles frame, including play-off frames |
| Singles KO | Each match result (main draw and plate) |
| Doubles KO | Each match result (main draw and plate) |
Singles KO and Doubles KO aren't scored frame-by-frame, so each match there counts for a bit more than a single league or Team KO frame — it represents a whole race-to-the-target contest rather than one frame.
Doubles frames
ELO is built for one-on-one games, so for doubles each player is rated against the average rating of the two players they played against. Win as the massive underdog pairing and both partners gain a big jump; win as the strong favourites and the gain is small.
