Onboarding

Sign up, then disappear for five matches

Your questionnaire only seeds a provisional bracket. Your real rating comes from the hidden calibration phase — nobody sees your numbers until they're locked.

The Hidden Calibration Phase

Your first 3–5 verified matches are scored, stored and modeled — but not shown. A Calibration in Progress badge sits on your tour card in place of a rating. High volatility lets the engine move fast, so by the end of the set your baseline reflects how you actually play, not how you described yourself.

· Opponents see the badge, never a number.
· Results still require two-way verification.
· Wildly inconsistent sets extend calibration to 5 matches.
· Baseline locks, then your PPI goes public.

Tour Level isn't available. It is invite only. Invitations are sent after you lock a baseline, log verified volume as a Basic / Rookie member, and hold a qualifying PPI band with a clean integrity record.
