A tournament result is the most earned data point you can get. A casual rec game is the least. Your rating weighs them accordingly.
So a relaxed evening can't swing your number the way a bracket run does — and it shouldn't.
What counts toward your rating
Not all games
weigh the same
Match type changes how much a result moves your d1R.
The principle
How match type is weighted
Tournament1.2×
Ranked league & ladder1.0×
Open play0.7×
Recreational0.5×
Baseline is 1.0×. Results at a verified venue can carry an additional boost, and clubs can tune these for their own community.
Why this matters
It protects honest players two ways: one bad night of rec can't tank your rating, and nobody can quietly pad theirs with a pile of low-stakes games.
Clubs can tune it
Operators can adjust how much each match type counts for their own players, so your community's rating reflects how your community actually competes.
Questions?
Do recreational games count toward my rating?
Yes, but at the lowest weight. A rec result moves your d1R about half as much as a ranked match.
Does open play affect my rating?
Yes, at a reduced weight below ranked play. It counts, but less than a league or tournament result.
Do league and ladder matches count fully?
Yes. Ranked league and ladder play sits at the baseline weight — the standard a tournament is measured above and rec is measured below.
Can my club change the weights?
Yes. Each club can adjust the match-type weighting for its own players.
