Rating and Ranking

What is Rating?

• Rating is a numerical objective representation of a player’s skill calculated through compete’s proprietary rating system. The outcome of every game played by player will impact and modify a player’s rating.

What are ranks?

• Ranks are rating threshold indicators. They’re an abstraction to indicate which section of the rating spectrum you lie in.
• The ranks are:
  • Journeyman
  • Expert
  • Master
  • Grand Master
• The ranks are sub divided in levels called SubLevels which range from 1 → 3, 3 being the highest.

What parameters does the rating algorithm use?

• Compete uses the performance of the player in a game and the outcome of the game while taking the relative skill difference of all the players into mind to calculate the rating changes at the end of a game.
• We’ll talk more about the algorithm in detail in the future!
