A rating is most useful when it reflects enough recent, connected match data. Building reliability is not about submitting random scores; it is about creating a representative record of your play.
Practical steps
- Make sure your profile details are correct before results are submitted.
- Play a range of opponents and partners instead of only one regular group.
- Use club, league or tournament reporting when available.
- Submit accurate scores and have the right players connected to the result.
- Keep playing over time so the rating reflects your current form.
What not to do
Do not select opponents only to protect a number, and do not treat a short run of results as a final verdict on your level. A rating is designed to change as your results change.
