Season riser vs. weekly mover
Season gain is current Elo minus draft baseline. Weekly movement adds the Elo changes from that match week. A hot night and a strong season deserve distinct recognition.
THE MATH BEHIND THE MOVEMENT
A fairer chase.
A better conversation.
Opponent strength matters. An upset should move the needle. Clear rules make the rating something players can understand and care about.
THE NUMBER THAT STARTS THE CONVERSATION
A rating with a reason.
A rivalry with receipts.
Elo turns results into a moving measure of performance. Beat a stronger opponent and the win counts for more. Win a match you were expected to win and the gain is smaller.

WPRC scoring model. Fictional players. Move the slider to explore.Game dominance
Regulation games won divided by games lost. A 24-14 record is 1.71×. At least four regulation sets qualify, and super-tiebreak points are excluded. Higher is better.
Draft steal
Original draft pick minus current ladder rank. Pick #12 at rank #8 means +4 spots. Active players with picks 6+ qualify. Equal gains go to the better ladder rank.
Court mileage
Total competitive sets played, with regulation games played as the first tiebreaker and current Elo as the second. Availability counts, even when every match isn’t a win.
Predictable rules, explicit tiebreakers.
Season risers sort by Elo gain, then current Elo. Draft steals sort by spots gained, then ladder rank. The demo renders sequential top-five ranks with a single category champion. Inactive players do not earn draft value honors through rank drift.
These are club ratings, not official UTR or USTA ratings. The calculator shows the WPRC doubles model; other competition formats need their own verified rule configuration.
