Squashtomic Scale

Level	Name	SquashLevels	Description
0	Initiation	—	Never played, no experience
1.0	Beginner	100 – 300	First experience, learning basics
2.0	Novice	300 – 800	Can rally, knows rules
3.0	Intermediate	800 – 2,200	Consistent rallies, basic tactics
4.0	Club	2,200 – 6,300	Good court coverage, tactical play
5.0	Advanced	6,300 – 18,000	Strong play, competitive in tournaments
6.0	Tournament	18,000 – 50,000	Regionally competitive
7.0	Elite	50,000+	World-class professional

Conversion Formula

R = 1.0 + 6.0 × (log₁₀(S) − 2) / 2.699

Where:
S = SquashLevels rating (100 – 50,000+)
R = Squashtomic level (0 – 7.0)

Anchors:
S = 100 → R = 1.0 (complete beginner)
S = 50,000 → R = 7.0 (elite professional)

Real-world reference: Top PSA pros reach 55,000–77,000+ on SquashLevels (e.g. Ali Farag peaked at ~77,000, Mostafa Asal ~55,000). The 50,000 anchor marks the elite threshold — the very top players exceed 7.0, which is by design.

How it Works: Data Flow & Architecture

Squashtomic is built on three layers. Each serves a specific role — no double entry, no manual calculations.

Layer 1: Rankedin

Role: Operations — tournaments, brackets, live scoring
Who uses it: Operator enters match results after each Liga Night
Output: Rankedin Index (RI) — points-based, measures activity

▼ automatic overnight pull

Layer 2: SquashLevels

Role: Rating engine — calculates true skill level
Algorithm: ELO-like, considers scores, opponent strength, match importance
Output: SquashLevels Rating (100 – 100,000+) — WSF official global system

▼ logarithmic formula

Layer 3: Squashtomic (0 – 7.0)

Role: Universal scale for players — easy to understand, like Playtomic in padel
Formula: S = 1.0 + 6.0 × (log₁₀(SL) − 2) / 2.699
Output: Player level 0–7.0 on website and Telegram

Key principle: Operator enters results once in Rankedin. SquashLevels pulls automatically. Squashtomic converts automatically. Total operator time: ~15–20 min per Liga Night.

Rankedin vs SquashLevels — What's the Difference?

Both platforms serve different purposes. Understanding the difference is key to how Squashtomic works.

🏆

Rankedin

Operations Layer

What it does Tournament management: brackets, scheduling, live scores

Rating type Points-based (activity + wins)

What it measures How much and how often you play & win

Problem 10 tournaments = higher RI than 2, even at same skill

Score used? No — only win/loss matters

International? Not comparable across countries

🧠

SquashLevels

Rating Engine

What it does Skill-based rating: calculates your true playing level

Rating type Skill-based (ELO-like algorithm)

What it measures How strong you actually are vs opponents

Advantage 2 matches enough for accurate rating

Score used? Yes — game scores, opponent strength matter

International? WSF official global system, 160K+ players

Data Pipeline

Single data entry — operator enters results once in Rankedin. Everything else is automatic.

Liga Night / Tournament

Matches played on court

Rankedin

Operator enters results (scores, brackets) — 15 min

Manual — single entry point

SquashLevels

Pulls data from Rankedin overnight. Recalculates skill ratings.

Automatic — nightly sync

Squashtomic (0 – 7.0)

Logarithmic conversion: SquashLevels → universal 1–7 scale
