SPINDEX Rating System Explained

The SPINDEX Rating (Standardized Pong INDEX Rating) System estimates a player’s skill level on a scale from 0 to 3000. In each singles match, the winner and loser exchange points based on their relative ratings. For example, if a player with a 2500 rating competes against a player with a 2400 rating, the higher-rated player is expected to win, and 6 points will be exchanged if they do. However, if the 2500-rated player loses to the lower-rated 2400 player, which is less likely, the point exchange would be 22. Players who have been inactive for over 1 year will have their rating reduced by 25 points every 3 months.
