The rank

Ten questions and you have a rank. Then the games move it.

Every player here carries a Rally Rating. It starts from ten things you can count about your own game, and after that it moves every night from who you beat and who beat you. The host builds the courts from it.

Bronze0Silver900Gold1300Platinum1700Diamond2100Master2500Grand.2900

Seven tiers, Bronze to Grandmaster, three divisions each until Grandmaster, which has one. A win never costs you anything: that is a floor in the code, held by a test. The first two or three nights move it hard, and the app says so while it does.

The badges

Worked out from what you actually did rather than handed to you. Two were killed during the design because they measured the room rather than the player.

What the night does, with the number behind it

Some of this happens on the screen the host runs the night from, and each one says which.

That is the list.

A night is free, you turn up alone, and you leave with a rating that came from the games rather than from a form.
