How Your TPT League Index Works
Fair ratings. Fair competition.
Every player is assessed using rating history, current level and recent performance.
1Calculate Your Initial League Index
Highest verified rating
4.50
Current rating
3.50
Last 10 games average
3.50
Initial calculated index
3.83
(Maximum Rating + Current Rating + Last 10 Games Average) / 3
Example: (4.50 + 3.50 + 3.50) ÷ 3 = 3.83. The standard calculation needs exactly 10 valid completed games.
2Check for a Significant Rating Drop
4.50 − 3.50 = 1.00 points
If the current rating is more than 0.30 points below the highest verified rating, the profile is flagged for review.
A flag triggers a review. It is not an automatic penalty.
3Review the Rating History
Verified peak
Where the maximum is supported by actual playing performance, a historical protection floor may apply.
Protection Floor = Verified Historical Maximum − 0.30
Final Competition Index = MAX(Standard League Index, Protection Floor)
Example: floor 4.20 beats 3.83 → 4.20
Initial assessment
An unsupported initial estimate can be excluded. This is used only when an authorised administrator has excluded the initial estimate and sufficient valid game data exists.
Final Competition Index = (Current Rating + Last 10 Games Average) / 2
Example: initial estimate 5.00 excluded → 2.50
4Your Competition Index
The selected and approved index is the value used for division eligibility. One of three outcomes is recorded for every player:
Verified Peak - Apply Protection Floor
Verified peak: protection floor applied where necessary.
Initial Assessment - Exclude Maximum
Initial assessment: unsupported initial estimate excluded.
Keep Calculated League Index
Calculated index: standard calculation retained.
TPT reserves the right to review and adjust a player’s League Index where available rating history or demonstrated playing ability indicates that the calculated index does not accurately reflect their playing level.
