Search your name first — you may already be on a draw sheet.
Five counted matches make a provisional number — a banded division does it in a weekend.
Ten matches make it reliable; every club, coach and draw can read it.
Enter a tournament at your level.
Divisions are banded by rating, so everyone in your flight is inside half a point. Three real matches, a draw sheet, a scorer — and every result counts.
Book a coaching session, or a rated open-play hour.
Coaching never touches your rating. Open rated play does — every game counts like a tournament match — and both are booked the same way, from the club's calendar.
The clubs that play it.
Courts, what is coming up, and whether the club is verified — an approved club with payments connected, so an entry fee goes where it should.
Who is where — and who to challenge.
The ladder for this sport, and the professionals the same engine rated. Challenge anyone within half a point with up to three times; nothing is booked until they accept.
Your rating in your sport. Nothing else moves it.
Rally scoring to 21 by two, capped at 30. Every rally scores, whoever served — the scorer only asks who won the point.
Ratings per player: one for singles, one for doubles. Men's, women's and mixed doubles feed the same doubles number — mixed is the bridge that puts everyone on one scale.
The band inside which a match really moves your rating. Beat someone a full point above you and your number jumps; a level match is worth the most.
Ten counted matches make the number reliable. Before that it is provisional and moves in bigger steps while it finds your level. Results from the last twelve months weigh most, so form shows up fast. Read the full method →
The same engine rates the world tour.
Before it rated a single club player, the engine replayed 118,877 elite BWF matches — Superseries, World Tour, World Championships and Olympics, 1965 to this month. Both current world number ones came out on top without anyone telling it who they were.
See the rankings →Tap who won the point. The engine does the rest.
The scorer knows the interval at 11, the change of ends, the 30-point cap and who serves next. Anyone with the link watches the score move, point by point, with no account.
What a good number looks like.
Every sport runs 1.00 to 16.00, but the crowd sits in a different place in each. These anchors come from the professional replay and the club ladder, not from a marketing chart.
Before your first rated match.
The full method, with the numbers, is on how MPR works.
Do singles and doubles share a number?
No. You carry a singles rating and a doubles rating, and the doubles number is fed by men's, women's and mixed doubles together. Mixed is what puts everyone on one scale.
How many matches before I have a rating?
Five give you a provisional number that moves in big steps. Ten make it reliable, and level-based draws open up. Results from the last twelve months weigh most.
Does a club night count?
If the club posts it as open rated play, yes — every game to 21 counts exactly like a tournament. Coaching sessions never count.
What if my opponent is much weaker or stronger?
A match inside half a point moves you most. Beat someone a full point above you and your number jumps; lose to someone a point below and it drops more than a level loss would.
Can the club change my number?
No. Nobody can set a rating by hand — not a club, not a coach, not us. It is the results and nothing else, recalculated overnight.
Get rated in badminton. It costs nothing.
Five matches is enough for a provisional number. Ten makes it reliable, and level-based draws open up.
