Rating is a skill estimate the platform computes for each member from the contests they take part in, using an Elo-style model. Every rated contest a member finishes produces one rating point — one value, at one date. Alongside the number, the member carries a level from 0 (beginner) to 12 (legendary) and a rank among the space's members, both derived from the rating.
The numbers are computed, not entered: there's nothing in the console that sets a member's rating directly.
Availability. Rating needs a plan that includes it. Without it, the Rating tab doesn't appear on a member's screen and the rating figure is absent from their Overview — see Why a section is missing.
Only contests configured as rated contribute. A contest that isn't rated leaves every participant's rating exactly where it was.
A contest can cap the rating it's open to, which is how a beginners' round stays a beginners' round.
Unofficial participation produces no rating points. A member who took part unofficially — by their own flag, or because a penalty with the disqualified restriction was in force — competes and gets results, but nothing reaches their rating. See Disable, restrict and remove a member.
Three cards, all read-only:
Rating evolution — a line chart of the member's last 25 rating points in chronological order, on a background banded by level colour. It's drawn only once the member has at least three points; below that the card says they have no rating from rated contests yet.
Rating distribution — a histogram of every rating in the space, with a vertical marker on the bucket this member falls in. It answers "is this good?", which the number alone doesn't.
Rating history — a table of date, contest and the rating after that contest, newest first. Each row links to the contest, so an unexpected drop can be traced to the round that caused it.
The level bands on the evolution chart are the same colours used for the member's rating everywhere else:
Level | Accent |
|---|---|
0–3 | none |
4–6 | green |
7–8 | blue |
9–10 | yellow |
11–12 | red |
In the console, the member's Overview carries the rating in its stat row, coloured by level, linking to the tab.
On your space's public site the same numbers drive the colour accent on a member's profile, the level title shown next to their name, and the space's ranking table.
Like everything else on a member record, rating belongs to one space. The same person competing in two spaces has two independent ratings, each computed from that space's own rated contests, and a strong rating elsewhere counts for nothing here.
