The world's most accurate rating system
Global AI Rating & Performance Platform
Building the Global Infrastructure for Racket Sports
Rated on how you play, not just whether you win. VAIR measures your performance against expectations, so every point counts and nobody sandbags.
Play fair. Play VAIRified.
01 · Expectation
Before a ball is hit, VAIR knows what should happen.
Every match starts with a prediction built from both teams' ratings — who should win, and by how much.

Then you play. And you play better than expected.
You still lose, 9–11. On a win/loss system, that's a loss. Full stop.
