Rankings
Every match counts
Not a leaderboard you can talk your way onto. A number that only moves when you actually play someone — in a room, with somebody marking it.
Live right now
There's one board so far.
Real people, real results, updated the moment a match finishes. Every one of these started with somebody putting a night on.
How it works
Everyone starts on 1500.
Win and it goes up, lose and it goes down — everyone knows that bit. What nobody expects is how much it depends on who you beat.
A real result
Beat someone better than you and you take more off them.
Matt Towers went in 341 points ahead and was expected to win. That's the whole reason it cost them 21 — and paid Oliver 89.
Now the other way round
Matt Towers beat Jay Shine, who was 235 points below them. +32.
Same win. Nothing like the same reward — because everyone expected it.
The obvious question
"Me and him play twenty frames a week. Does that count?"
No. And that's the point.
A number only means something if it can't be fiddled. So it moves for one reason: a match at a real event, with somebody marking it. Not the twenty you played on Tuesday, not a best-of-three at the bar, not you and him agreeing you're both brilliant.
Which means when someone tells you their number, it happened. Somebody was there.
Behind the number
It isn't just a win and a loss.
Somebody marks the match as it happens. In pool that's every pot, every miss, every foul, every break that goes nowhere — so afterwards there's a record of how you actually played, not just who won. Play enough and it starts describing you.
Pool's marker is built and running. Darts is next, then the racket sports — each one catches the things that matter in that game.
The tiers
5 levels. Bronze to Diamond.
You don't get a level for turning up. Until we've seen enough of you, you have a rating and no badge. Climb high enough, you move up. Drop too low, you move down.
Bronze
Where everyone starts.
Silver
You're winning more than you're losing.
Gold
Consistent. Dangerous. The players around you know your name.
Platinum
You're beating good players regularly.
Diamond
You have to play like it and keep playing like it — 30 matches minimum. Almost nobody is here.
What we're starting with
Cue sports first. Then darts. Then rackets.
We'd rather do a few games properly than list fifty and mean none of them. Each one gets its own marker, built for how that game is actually scored.
Getting on the board
Somebody has to put the first night on.
Every board on here started with one person deciding their pub should have one. You don't need a league and you don't need a schedule — you need a night and a few people.
Run a night
Pick a game, pick a date, tell your lot. We do the rest.
- The draw, the scoring and the table, done for you
- A page you can drop straight into WhatsApp
- Everyone who plays gets rated, properly
- Put it on the telly while it happens
Run a venue
Pubs, clubs, padel centres, bowling alleys — if people play there, it should have a board.
- Your own page, with what's on and who's best
- A board that builds itself as people play
- Regulars get told when there's a night on
- Found by people searching for a game near them
Know a venue?
You drink somewhere. There's a table in the corner. That's all we need.
- Tell us where you play, we'll do the rest
- Nothing for you or the landlord to sign up to
- First board at your local, and you started it
