This article explains how your level works in the app.
Key factors that influence your level
Section titled “Key factors that influence your level”Initial level & reliability
Section titled “Initial level & reliability”When you first join Volley World App, you’ll start with an initial skill level. Your reliability score indicates how confident we are in that level. The more you play, the more reliable it becomes.
The Volley World scale
Section titled “The Volley World scale”Our levels range from 0.1 to 10, providing a nuanced measure of your volleyball skills.
Reliability %
Section titled “Reliability %”Reliability is crucial in determining how much your level changes after each match. Lower reliability means bigger changes, while higher reliability results in smaller changes.
How your level changes
Section titled “How your level changes”Your level can go up or down based on several factors:
- Match outcome — whether you win or lose impacts your level.
- Opponent’s level — the skill level of your opponent is taken into account.
- Sets played — more sets provide more data, affecting your level more significantly.
- Frequency of matchups — playing against the same opponent multiple times also influences your level.
After each competitive match, tournament or league, our algorithm calculates how much to adjust your level, taking into account both teams’ average levels and reliability scores.
