Match Point treats players and teams as the two core units that participate in matches and tournaments. A Player is an individual member with a personal profile, rating, and match history. A Team is a roster of two or more players that competes together in doubles events or team sports. Understanding how these units relate helps you keep your club data organized and your leaderboards accurate.

​
Players vs. Teams

Use players for singles leagues and individual tournaments. Use teams for doubles pairings, squad-based leagues, and any format where multiple players share a result. When a player joins a team, their individual rating still exists and updates from every match they play. Team rankings are calculated separately from the combined ratings of active members. Match results are recorded against both the player profile and any team they represented, so history stays complete even if a player later switches teams.

​
How Player Data Flows

Player profiles feed directly into three areas of Match Point:
  1. Rankings: Each completed match updates the Elo-based rating on the player’s profile. The rankings leaderboard pulls live ratings to sort players by sport and division.
  2. Match History: Every match a player participates in is listed on their profile, including the opponent, score, and date.
  3. Tournament Rosters: Tournament registration uses the player list as the source of truth. Admins can invite players directly, and open tournaments let players self-register using their existing profile.
