The Ultimate Guide to Playo User Rating Graph

If you’ve ever wondered what those bars on your Playo profile mean or how your rating changes over time, you’re not alone. Playo’s rating system is a unique blend of user feedback, gameplay consistency, and overall sportsmanship. Whether you’re new to the platform or a regular player trying to climb the leaderboard, this guide will help you understand everything about the Playo User Rating Graph – what it means, how it works, and why it matters.

What Is the Playo User Rating Graph?

The Playo User Rating Graph is a visual snapshot of how your co-players (aka Playpals) perceive your skill level in a specific sport. After every game, your fellow players can rate you on a scale of five skill categories:

• Beginner
  
• Amateur
  
• Intermediate
  
• Advanced
  
• Professional
  

Each rating contributes a count to one of these levels, and your graph updates in real-time to reflect the most recent ratings. It’s not just a scoreboard, it’s your evolving performance profile that others can see and learn from when deciding whether to join your game or invite you to theirs.

How Ratings Are Added to the Graph

Every time someone plays a match with you, they can rate your skill level. Only their latest rating counts. So if someone plays with you multiple times, only the most recent feedback from that person is shown on your graph.

Let’s say you play with:

• Aditi, who rates you as an Amateur
  
• Rohan, who rates you as a Beginner
  
• Rahul, who rates you as Advanced
  

Your rating graph now shows:

• Beginner: 1
  
• Amateur: 1
  
• Advanced: 1
  

In your next match, if Rahul upgrades your rating to Professional, his previous Advanced rating will be replaced. Your new graph will show:

• Beginner: 1
  
• Amateur: 1
  
• Professional: 1
  
• Advanced: 0 (removed because Rahul changed his rating)
  

The system ensures the graph stays current, giving more importance to how you’re playing now, not how you played months ago.

Here’s how your overall rating breakdown will appear on the app.

How Your Overall Rating Is Calculated

While the User Rating Graph gives a visual breakdown, your overall skill rating is calculated using a smart averaging system:

• 90% weightage goes to ratings from your last 25 games and your self-rating
  
• 10% weightage goes to all older ratings
  

This formula keeps your rating relevant and recent, adjusting as your gameplay evolves. Even if you aren’t rated in your latest match, your last valid rating continues to count.

So, if you’re improving, your graph (and overall rating) will reflect that quickly. And if you’ve been inactive or inconsistent, that’ll show too.

What About Self-Rating?

Yes, you can rate yourself! When you first join or host a game, you’ll be asked to select your own skill level. This self-rating contributes to your overall rating but is balanced out by ratings from other players.

You can always update your self-rating by going to: More Tab → View Full Profile → Select a Sport → Edit Self Rating

It’s a helpful way to show where you think you stand, especially when you’re new and haven’t been rated yet.

Who Can You Rate (and When)?

You can only rate players you’ve actually played with. This helps keep the system honest and reliable.

To rate someone after a game: Play Tab → Past Activities → Gamebook → Rate the Playpal

You have up to 7 days to give your feedback. Need to make a quick change? You can edit your rating within 3 hours of submitting it.

And yes, all ratings are completely anonymous. Neither you nor your co-players will ever know who rated what, making the system fair and pressure-free.

Handling No-Shows

If someone signs up for your match and doesn’t show up, you can mark them as a no-show within 48 hours. This affects their Reputation Score, but only if most players from the same match mark them as absent.

To report a No Show: Play Tab → Gamebook → User’s Profile → Toggle “No Show”

This system ensures accountability and encourages players to commit responsibly to the games they join.

What Is the Playo Reputation Score?

While your rating graph showcases your skill, your Reputation Score highlights your behaviour and attitude on the court or field. It’s based on:

• Punctuality
  
• Team spirit
  
• Payment responsibility
  

After each match, your Playpals can rate you in these areas. Accumulating good feedback earns you Reputation Badges like:

• Punctual
  
• Team Player
  
• Particular on payments
  

These badges are proudly displayed on your profile and help you stand out as a trustworthy player. A strong reputation increases your chances of getting accepted into games and attracting solid teammates.

Tracking Your Activity Level

Playo tracks how active you’ve been every week by setting a minutes goal (e.g., 300 mins). Based on your game time, your profile will display an Active Level:

• Warming up
  
• Active
  
• Super Active
  
• On Fire
  

This helps others see how committed you are to playing and staying consistent. It’s also a personal motivator to keep your streak going!

What’s the Deal with Playo Leaderboards?

Playo’s leaderboard system adds a fun, competitive edge to your playing journey. It highlights the most consistent and active players, city-wise and sport-wise.

There are two main types of rankings:

• Overall Rank: Your position among all Playo users based on activity in the last 3 months.
  
• Peer Rank: Your standing among the Playpals you’ve actually played with.
  

You can filter these by sport or check your rankings across all sports combined. It’s a great way to see where you stand and stay motivated.

Note: Only games played via the “Meet” tab count toward your stats and rankings. Matches from the “Book” tab (private games) won’t reflect in your profile stats.

Putting It All Together: Why Your Playo Rating Matters

Here’s a quick summary of what shapes your Playo profile:

Category	What It Shows
User Rating Graph	How co-players(playpals) rate your skill level
Overall Rating	Smart average of your recent performance
Reputation Score	Your sportsmanship and behaviour
Activity Stats	How regularly and seriously you play
