Rating/Ranking FAQ

What does VAIR stand for?

Visually Assessed International Rating (VAIR) is the latest and most precise international rating system. All players, irrespective of their gender, age, skill level, or location, are assessed on a scale from 2.00 to 8.00, as determined by their individual testing conducted by a VAIR Certified Rater (CR).

How much does it cost to obtain a VAIR ranking?

Rankings are absolutely free. You don't have to be a professional player to achieve a ranking or participate in tournaments. We have created a system that enables local players to submit their recreational scores and obtain rankings. Play with your local friends and witness your ranking progress.

How much does it cost to obtain a VAIR rating?

Utilizing VAIR to input game scores and player profiles to receive a ranking is absolutely free. Nevertheless, everyone has the option to attain a rating. The process of acquiring a VAIR rating involves participating in a VAIR rating group clinic for $75. Getting started is simple – just sign up at https://www.VAIRified.com/rating-assessment

What makes VAIR better than the others?

What sets VAIR apart from its competitors? VAIR employs cutting-edge visual testing to aggregate all player data, resulting in the most precise international rating system available. No unreliable algorithms here.

How are results entered  into my VAIR?

Results are received from both our partners (which include clubs, tournament organizers and more) and users self-posting their own scores. If you would like your club or association to add your results, please email support@VAIRified.com.

How frequently will my rating be updated?

Your VAIR player profile will be regularly updated with your new rating whenever you receive an individual rating from a VAIR Certified Rater.

If I cease playing, will my VAIR ranking stay unchanged?

No, your ranking could be influenced by the performance of other players even if you have stopped playing. For instance, if you outperform the expected result of the ranking against a player and then she continues to exceed the expected result in her future matches, your ranking could be impacted by her performance – even if you are no longer playing.
