Ranking Calculation¶
This section explains how the MySquash system calculates player rankings.

| # | Concept | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fixtures | Fixtures are all the recorded matches with results from all competitions (Interclub, Tournament, Friendly matches, Miniligues) There are 2 types of fixtures: - Past fixtures: all past fixtures already taken into account in the ranking - Temporary fixtures: all recent fixtures not yet included in ranking (such fixtures appear in grey in user profile) All fixture represent the complete match history for all players |
| 2 | Nighly Point Calculation | On a nightly basis, MySquash compute the points earned or lost for all temporary fixtures. For instance if a match result is entered on saturday, points earned/lost will remain to 0 until the nextpoint calculation which will take place at noon. The day after, points earned/lost will appear on user profile. But still, result will not be yet taken into account in ranking (which is done only on a weekly basis) (see #3/3') |
| 3/3' | Weekly Ranking Calculation | On a weekly basis, the ranking is calculated to take into account all temporary fixtures and deliver an up-to-date ranking |
| 4 | Ranking | The ranking calcultation (see #3/3') delivers the official ranking. This ranking is subdivided into 2 parts: - Local Ranking: including only swiss national players - International Ranking: including only international players registered into MySquash |
| 5 | Current Points | The ranking calculation (see #3/3') also update the Current points of each players |
| 6 | Starting Points | Current points are then used to determine players' position in competitions (tournaments, Interclub teams). If Current points are not avaible (because player has not yet played a match in competition), Starting Points are used instead (Starting Points are the initial points allocated to a player into MySquash) |
| 7 | National Ranking | National Ranking is generated on a weekly basis and combine both rankings from Swiss Squash and Squash Romandie. Once both federation will use MySquash - target summer 2026 -, this combined National Ranking will disappear and will replaced by the MySquash ranking |
| 8 | Club Ranking | Club Ranking is used to define which player is authorized to play into Interclub Teams according the official rules |
