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.
