Singles
We have four discrete scoring systems for singles. They can be toggled by the League Administrator. Each system merely interprets the data. You can change between systems at any time without altering your data, although you might have some explaining to do to your league members when their ranking has changed.
- The Quality System is great for closed leagues where a match schedule is organized by the League Administrator. It is also very accurate for challenge ladders but does require that at least 3 matches be played to establish an accurate ranking for an individual. This is a great system for USTA Team Tennis or high school conference tennis. This is the most accurate system for ranking players against the field - based on margin of victory, opponent strength as well as wins and losses.
- The 20-Point System is good for encouraging league activity. This system also works well when your league has a range of proficiency among it's members. Members gain points by winning matches but also gain points when losing close matches, so it's possible to achieve a reasonable ranking by being an active player.
- The 15-Point System is great for closed leagues where a match schedule is organized by the League Administrator. This system, while awarding points for participants for boths wins and losses, produces an accurate depiction of member ranking based on win/loss record and margin of victory of each match.
- The Pyramid System is very similar in working concept to a traditional tennis ladder but instead of a linear ladder members will find themselves on tiers with other members who have had similar successes. Very accurate - based solely on wins and losses.
Doubles
We have 2 systems available and can be changed midstream by the league administrator.
- The Quality System. Great for challenge match leagues. Margin of victory, opponent strength, and wins and losses are factored just as in singles - as well as the strength of your chosen partner. A win or close loss with a weak partner will help build a healthy strength rating.
- The 15-Point System. Best when used with an organized scheduled that matches all doubles teams against each other at least once through a season.
