⚡ How rating works (quick view)

Every player has a single BT Social Level on a scale of 1.0 to 7.0. Win matches and it goes up; lose and it dips. Beat stronger players and you gain more. Tournament results count more than social games. The full breakdown of bands, weights, promotion shield and inactivity decay lives on the Rankings page.
