Match Validation:

A New Standard for Fair Play on VAIR

At VAIR, we’re committed to delivering the most accurate and trustworthy pickleball ratings in the world. That’s why we’ve enhanced our match validation process to bring more transparency and integrity to recreational game results.

Every match submitted on VAIR contributes to your player rating—so it’s essential that results are legitimate. Our new validation process ensures that only matches agreed upon by all players involved are counted, protecting the accuracy of your rating and the fairness of the system.

How It Works

When a recreational match is submitted on the VAIR platform:

• All participants are notified via email.
• Each player must not contest the match results.
• The match is validated only when every player agrees.

No agreement = no rating impact.

What’s New?

With our updated system:

• Matches remain valid unless a player rejects the result, if rejected match is automatically removed.
• This ensures only consensus-backed matches affect your rating.

Managing Match Status

If a match is contested:

• It does not affect player ratings.
• If someone disputes the result, the match is deleted.
• No back-and-forth debates—just a clean system based on mutual agreement.

Keeping Ratings Honest

By confirming your matches, you help ensure that VAIR remains the most accurate and fair rating platform in pickleball. It’s a simple action with a big impact—and part of what makes VAIR the trusted choice for serious players.
