Rally Rank · player ratings
Rally Rank reads every point you score, not just who won. After each match you see what was expected, what happened and exactly why your rating moved.
Free for players
No subscription to see your rating or history.
Singles and doubles
Two separate ratings, each with its own history.
Every change explained
See exactly why each result moved you.
One match, four steps
You beat your opponent 11–7, 11–9.
Rally Rank counts every point, not just the result. Of the 38 points played, you won 22 and your opponent won 16.
Your opponent is rated higher, 1240 to your 1208.
From that gap, Rally Rank expected you to win about 16 of the 38 points and your opponent about 22.
You won 22 points, about 6 more than expected.
Beating the expectation pushes a rating up. Falling short pulls it down, so your opponent, who won about 6 fewer than expected, drops. Winning the match adds only a small extra.
You go up 50. Your opponent goes down 11.
You both saw the same 6-point surprise. Your rating is still new, so Rally Rank lets each result move it further. Your opponent’s is established, so it moves less.
Points, not just wins
Rally Rank compares the points you won with the points your rating predicted. That means the result alone doesn’t decide which way you move.
Example · a much stronger opponent
Your rating predicted a heavier defeat. Running them close shows you’re stronger than your rating says, so it rises even though you lost.
Example · a much weaker opponent
Your rating predicted a comfortable win. Scraping through shows you’re not quite as strong as your rating says, so it can dip even though you won.
Rating status
Each rating carries one of three labels. It shows how much evidence is behind the number, not how long you’ve been playing.
Rally Rank is still learning your level.
Your rating moves more after each match while it finds where you belong. Doubles usually takes a little longer than singles.
Your rating is reliable.
You join the official rankings. There’s no set number of matches. Playing regularly against different opponents gets you here sooner.
You’ve been away for a while.
Your rank is paused, but your rating isn’t lowered. Play one match and your rank comes straight back.
Accuracy
That puts it level with forecasts built on an established national rating, using nothing but the results you play.

Why Rally Rank
A rating you can check for yourself, built from the matches you actually play.
Your player page shows what was expected, what happened and exactly how far you moved, for every match.
Your rating, your history and your local rankings cost nothing to see.
Two separate ratings. Your history in one can give the other a head start.
A break never lowers your rating. Your next result just counts for a bit more.
Corrections
Correct or void a result and every rating after it is recalculated from the original record. Nothing is deleted, so a void can always be undone.
Illustration
For clubs and organisers
Your results feed one rating that players can check for themselves, so seeding and grading are easier to explain.
Every confirmed league result counts towards your Rally Rank, and each one comes with its explanation.
