Players ability to lower their own level

Players can now lower their own level directly from their player profile. It’s a small but meaningful addition for anyone who rated themselves a little high at the start and wants to set things straight — keeping levels honest and matches fair.

How it works

• Players can manually lower their own level from their player profile at any time
• Players cannot manually raise their level — increases only happen through match results (the algorithm) and coach or admin adjustments
• The change is reflected straight away across matchmaking and matches

Why this feature matters

When players first join, it’s natural for some to rate themselves higher than they really play — and once they’re on court, they often realise a lower level is a better fit. Letting players lower their own level rewards that honesty and keeps the whole system more accurate. Because levels can only go up through real results, there’s no room to game the system — just a simple way for players to be realistic about where they’re at, which makes matches more balanced and enjoyable for everyone.
