Level table (Ranking)

There are 6 levels, and each one is divided into 3 steps, so it is 18 levels total (scoring from highest to lowest). This is the level table:

Ranking operation

Once you start playing, our calculation algorithm (based on the chess system) will take each player to the level that corresponds them, subtracting points (to the winners) or adding points (to the losers) according to the match difficulty; it is: to keep in mind the opposite couple level.

The draws (if tie) will be considered as a "partial victory" of the less level couple, assigning them a part of the score that would correspond it hey having won.

New Players
To accelerate the correct position about the new players ranking, will be applied an individual correction on the score obtained in their first each 10 matches played in Rádical. 
 

The final result to applying this score will be balanced for all, so if levels are decompensated it will be less (or nothing) beneficial for the better level couple and in case of excessive decompensation, harm less (or nothing) to the less level couple.

This ranking will have continuity in the successive league editions. That is: in the successive editions, each player keep his ranking at the begining, which will lower or rise depending on their results.

On the classification.

To generate a compensated classification according to the number of matches played, positive points are assigned to the winners and negative at losers, so to up to high classification positions will be necessary to win matches proportionally.

The score in the classification will be according with the matches played difficulty; That is, it will be added points according on the ranking obtained by the winners, as follows:

MATCH WINNERS

- On matches where they have obtained from 0 to 9 ranking points, they will win +2 points in classification
- If they have obtained 10 or more ranking points, they will win +3 points in classification 

MATCH LOSERS

One point will be subtracted from each player; it is: -1 point in classification.

TIE: 0 classification points each player.

On Ranking.

Our algorithm will assign level points according to the ranking level of each couple, so that more points will be assigned in matches equalized or with greater difficulty, and less points (or none) if the winning couple ranking was excessively better than the loser couple.

Results.

At the end of a match, any of the 4 players will record the result of it, in the "Record Result" button, where they must only indicate who the winners and who the losers (or draw in their case).

     - The match will be considered lost by a couple in case of withdrawal, by injury or any other reason of any partner.
     - If some match could not be finished by the weather, the result cannot be recorded.
     - If absence of any players, the result cannot be recorded (the player who has not gone will be penalized)

2 days will be available to record the result of a match: the day has been played and the next one.
