How the ratings work

OpenRating combines a Bayesian core (Glicko-inspired) with match weighting tuned for badminton’s formats. Here’s the one-minute TLDR:

  • Dynamic baselines: all players start with the same prior, but σ shrinks as they compete.
  • Event-aware updates: results are weighted by match importance (tour tier, draw stage, freshness).
  • Doubles synergy: team matches update each player individually while respecting partner strength.
