Key information

Remember a match can only count once, and a match only counts as a win if it is against a player rated the same or higher than you. A win for a player moving from level 2 to 1 also counts as a participation match. Mixed gender matches count at red, orange and green. Doubles matches count towards your played matches but not your wins total. Your rating will change automatically as soon as you have recorded the correct number of matches and wins required.
