How does the ranking work
The current ranking system depends on the average of four weeks total score plus the incentive bonus point to set the final score. Each court has a different weighing factor to compensate the different level of court (court 1 being the best players). It is designed that the top player at the lower court is roughly better than the bottom one third of the players at the upper court. Therefore, the player will move up and down according to their performance in the games. The system is counting total average score, not the winning or losing of the game. Therefore, to stay in higher ranking court, you need to get your highest score possible in each game, and play as often as possible (for bonus points). However, the system does not control who will play each week. When a lot of good players show up to play, many other players might move down the court even they got a better score last week. Please don’t take the ranking system too seriously. The most import element is try to play your best, meet players and have fun.
The maximum score is base on 5 game total points (5×21=105 points). If the player plays a different number of games, the correction factor should be applied. If the game goes over 21 points, the winner will still get 21 points and the loser will get 20 points. The court weighting factor is descending by 0.9 for each lower court.
Court Order Weighting Factor
Court 1 1.0 (highest ranking court)
Court 2 0.9
Court 3 0.9×0.9=0.81
Court 4 0.9×0.9×0.9=0.729
Court 5 …
Example of score calculation
The score is based on the average of the latest four weeks scores, and each played week will give the player one bonus point (up to 4 points):
Week Total Score Average Score Bonus Point Final Score
Week1 100.0 100.0 1 101.0
Week2 90.0 95.0 2 97.0
Week3 80.0 90.0 3 93.0
Week4 70.0 85.0 4 89.0
Week5 NA 80.0 3 83.0
Week6 NA 75.0 2 77.0
Week7 90.0 80.0 2 82.0
Week8 100.0 95.0 2 97.0
If the player hasn’t played even once in the latest four weeks, his/her last played week score (without any bonus point) will be used in the ranking.
