How scoring works

League points

Your position in a league table is decided by league points earned each match.

• Win 2-0 (straight sets) or by walkover: winner 3 points, loser 0.
• Win 2-1 (decided by a super-tiebreak): winner 2 points.
• Lose 2-1: 1 point for taking a set.
• Bye (wolny los): a free win worth full points; it does not count towards strength-of-schedule.
• Badminton (regular season): 1 point per set won (up to 4), and a 2-2 result is a draw.

Strength of schedule (tiebreak)

When two players are level on points, the tie is broken by strength of schedule: the sum of the league points of every opponent they actually faced. Head-to-head results are never used, and a bye adds nothing.

ELO rating (separate from league standings)

Your ELO is a personal skill rating that follows you across tournaments — independent of any single league table.

• Your starting rating comes from the level you declare for that sport: 1000 total beginner, 1100 beginner, 1200 intermediate, 1300 advanced, 1400 competitive player.
• Your first matches are provisional: a settled player's rating is not moved by a match against a provisional opponent.
• Ratings move faster while provisional (K-factor 40) and settle down once established (K-factor 24).
• Walkovers do not change ELO — only matches that are actually played count.
