Introducing Javelin's Team Rating System

Our system is designed to make it easier for players to play with and against others of a similar skill level

What is the Team Rating System?

Volleyball is a sport that relies heavily on the individual skill of each player coming together and working in unison.
When there's a mismatch in skill between players, whether it's on your team or on the opponent's team, the quality of the game drops heavily.

The team rating system is designed to make it easier for players to play with and against other players of a similar skill level.
We're hoping that over time this will make volleyball games more fun, safe, and fair for all players!

Team Rating System FAQ

How do players get an initial rating?

Players are given a starting rating based on the selected skill level of the team. 700 for recreational, 1000 for intermediate/semi-comp, 1300 for advanced.

Note: these starting ratings may be subject to change.

What if players switch teams?

Volleyball is a team game, thus, Javelin prioritizes team ratings. Javelin then uses the ratings of a player's most recent teams to give them an "Implied Player Rating". This implied rating will only ever be used as a rough estimate of the players skill level and to give new teams they join a starting rating.

What's preventing players from joining multiple teams?

Javelin's system can handle a player joining and competing in as many teams as they'd like!
