Every game recorded on dink.one - a casual game, an open-play game, an event match or a league match - is recorded as a standard match, so its type doesn’t lower its weight.
What changes the weight is how well the result is backed up: whether the other players confirmed it, whether it was verified at the venue, and whether anyone in the match has an open integrity flag.
The engine can weigh tournaments above a standard match and open play or rec below it, but nothing recorded today is typed that way. We’ll update this page if that changes.
It keeps the number tied to results people stand behind: a score the other players confirmed moves you more than one nobody answered, and a pile of self-reported results nobody confirms stops counting after five in a week.
The engine supports different weights per club, but today every club uses the same settings and there’s no club control for it yet.
Do recreational games count toward my rating?
Yes, in full. A casual game you report isn’t weighted down for being casual; what matters is whether the other players confirm it.
Does open play affect my rating?
Yes, the same as any other game you report. Open-play games aren’t weighted down today.
Do league and ladder matches count fully?
At the same match-type weight as any other game, but not yet at full weight: a league result the other captain confirmed is currently weighted like a score nobody answered, about half. If the organizer reviews results, nothing counts until they approve it.
Can my club change the weights?
Not yet. The engine supports per-club weights, but there’s no club control for it today and every club uses the same settings.
