MMR and ratings
A rating that means something
MMR stands for Match Making Ranking. It is one number that estimates your standard, so you can be matched with people around your level instead of working it out from a conversation in a group chat.
Courtex calculates it with the OpenSkill algorithm, which is a modern alternative to Elo. Your rating moves according to your results and the strength of the people you played — beating a stronger pair moves it further than beating a weaker one. Singles and doubles are rated separately, because they are different games.
Only verified results count. A recorded match can be confirmed by the players involved, a club organiser or admin, or an uploaded video, which is what stops a rating drifting away from reality. If your club runs its own rating system, Courtex can work with that instead.
How MMR works and how matches are verified go into the detail.

Common questions
Badminton ratings and match records — common questions
What is MMR in badminton?
MMR stands for Match Making Ranking. It is a single number that estimates your standard, so players of similar ability can be matched against each other instead of guessing. Courtex gives you separate ratings for singles and doubles.
How is MMR calculated in Courtex?
Courtex uses the OpenSkill algorithm. Your rating moves based on the results of your recorded matches and the ratings of the people you played against — beating stronger opponents moves it more than beating weaker ones.
Do I have to play competitively to use Courtex?
No. Recording matches is optional, and plenty of players only use Courtex to find sessions and RSVP. A rating only exists if you record matches, and nothing about a social session requires one.
Do my opponents need a Courtex account?
No. Organisers can add players who are not on the platform by name, so a session list and attendance record can be complete without asking everyone to sign up.
How do verified matches work?
A recorded match carries a status. It can be verified by the players involved, a club organiser or admin, or an uploaded video. Only verified results feed a rating, which is what makes the number worth trusting.
Is Courtex free for players?
Yes. Players do not pay to use Courtex. You can create a free account, find sessions, RSVP and record matches without a subscription.
