How skill is estimated

Tournament performance estimate

Range

21 – 79

Method

A bounded model score: roughly the estimated chance of outlasting a fixed reference opponent inside this model.

What we capture

Finishing order for a six-player freezeout, adjudicated by the named event director.

How it updates

Finishing order is converted into pairwise outcomes and each player's bounded estimate moves accordingly.

First games

A count of completed six-player freezeouts, an existing record, or a skip. Experience widens or narrows uncertainty; it never grants strength.

Placement question

About how many six-player freezeout tournaments have you completed in the last year? — a count, an existing record, or skip.

Honesty about the number

What this rating is, and what it isn't

Where no universal amateur scale exists, MeetYourMatch says so rather than inventing one.

Benchmark

None. Poker has no universal skill number to convert to.

A displayed 60 does not mean top 40% worldwide, 60% confidence, or a 60% return. It is a model definition and is always shown with the format and event count. No wagering, ever.

Open decisions

Six-way confirmation, tie handling, and what the number may be called.

Status: Needs real-match testing.

Handicap: None

Equal stacks always. Optional skill bands, but no rated handicap.

No rated handicap. Equal stacks; hosts may restrict entry to a skill band instead.

What it costs to play

Illustrative MeetYourMatch service fee for Texas Hold'em: £6.30 per player, against a planned average of £4.50 per player per game.

The MeetYourMatch service fee covers matchmaking and booking coordination. Each player pays their own. The approved assumption is an average of £4.50 per player per game; actual per-game and per-city rates are still to be set, and the amounts shown here are illustrative demo prices. Anything the venue charges — table or court time, any minimum spend — is separate from this fee.
