badminton stats
Badminton rating tiers explained
Badminton rating tiers categorise players by skill level so you can quickly see who's a competitive match. Volley uses four tiers: Club (recreational), Competitor (regular tournament play), Master (strong club / regional level), and Pro (top-level). Most weekend badminton players sit in Club or low Competitor.
Why this matters for badminton players
The reason this question matters so much is that Badminton players tend to use stats as a way to track motivation. A clear number that goes up over weeks of practice is the closest thing recreational sport has to a leaderboard. Without it, improvement feels invisible.
How Volley tracks this automatically
In Volley, every match you score feeds into the relevant stat. Your dashboard shows rating, recent form, win/loss, and head-to-head against any opponent. Free, automatic, works for all 9 sports.
Tips for improving
Three things consistently move stats: more matches per week (sample size), playing stronger opponents (ELO leverage), and being honest about scoring (don't round up). All three are easier with an app than with a notebook.
