TARS: The Tieplayer Rating That Helps You Improve (No Egos Attached)

Some people swear they’re “level 20.”
Others insist they’re just “a bit rusty.”
And then… there’s the new era: TARS.

TARS doesn’t argue.
It doesn’t do favours.
And most importantly — it can’t be fooled by your sporting ego.

In short, it’s Tieplayer’s intelligent rating system, designed with one mission:
to give you a reliable and transparent way to understand your real playing level — simply and effectively.

But how does TARS actually work — and why does it matter?

Every time you play and register a match in the Tieplayer app, TARS kicks in.

It collects simple data:
• who played,
• against whom,
• and what the final result was.

Then it cross-checks this information with the ratings of everyone involved to generate insights.

• If you beat someone at your level or higher → your rating goes up.

• If you lose to someone below your level → it goes down.

No hidden tricks.
Just pure statistics.

The more you play, the more TARS learns about you.
Your rating adjusts automatically and gradually, reflecting your long-term evolution — or those inevitable ups and downs we all have.

But here’s the real game-changer:
while many players cling to the idea of “I’m better than I look”, TARS relies on evidence.
Real.
Recorded.
Undeniable.

So… what do you gain from it? We’ll explain:

1. More balanced games

When you join an Open Game or use Matchmaker, you’re matched with players at a similar rating.
That means no more lopsided matches where you spend 90% of the time chasing the ball (or winning without breaking a sweat).

2. Clearer improvement

You start seeing your progress not just through results, but through a stable, unbiased indicator.
It’s like having constant feedback — without your partner telling you “yeah, you’re a bit better now.”

3. More credible reputation

When you challenge someone, your rating speaks for you.
No need to convince anyone that you “play well.”
The numbers place you — and help others trust that you’re a fair match.

4. More motivation to play

TARS turns the game into something that evolves with you.
Every match counts.
Every result has an impact.
And that gives you real motivation to play more, challenge yourself and climb levels consistently.

Registering your matches is essential!

If you play without registering, TARS doesn’t see it.
And if TARS doesn’t see it… it’s as if it never happened.

That’s why Tieplayer insists on match registration:
only then can we build a community where every player’s level is respected — and where the experience is fair for everyone.

More than a number, your rating is a reflection of your journey.
If you’re consistent, it rewards you.
If you’re not… it tells you.

Is the TARS algorithm actually credible?

Yes.
TARS was built using adaptive statistical models designed for social sports where competitive balance matters.

It considers:
• opponent strength,
• match outcome,
• rating differences.

It’s not perfect — but it’s far fairer than self-evaluation in a WhatsApp group.

By registering matches, you help build a more transparent and fun community.
And by using your rating, you ensure more logical and enjoyable games.

Because at the end of the day, playing is great.
But playing against someone at your level… that’s something else.
