“I finally found a competition that feels built for our neighborhood crew.”
Why use it
This is not trying to replace Elo or DUPR.
Those systems are built to estimate long-term player skill. This is built to measure something different: who is performing best over a defined stretch of time against the people they actually play.
Season trophies and ratings bands
Earn trophies at the end of the season based on how you did against the players you actually competed with, as well as over all.
Measures performance
Built around real play patterns, it tells you how well you are playing right now, not from a cherry-picked set of matches.
