Outcome-aware
Before you play, DMR predicts who should win from the skill gap. Beat a stronger team and you gain more; an expected win nudges you less. Every point is earned against real competition.
Beat stronger → gain more
Dynamic Mesh Rating™
One number that
One number that
keeps up with you.
DMR is DinkTap's living skill rating. Every match you play updates it — based on who you played, how it turned out, and how consistent you've been lately. No waiting, no guesswork — just a number that always reflects where your game is right now.

Why “mesh”?
Every match is connected.
Your rating doesn't live on an island. Every game links you to the players you faced — and to everyone they've faced. DMR reads that whole web of results, so your number reflects real, connected competition instead of isolated scores.
Connected Results ripple across the whole player network.
Cross-court fair Different clubs and groups stay comparable over time.
Self-correcting An upset pulls levels together; expected wins hold them apart.
Under the hood
Three proven ideas, fused into one.
DMR blends three of the most trusted concepts in competitive rating — and lets them work together, so your number is fair the day you start and sharp once you're a regular.
Confidence-aware
DMR tracks how sure it is about your number. New, or just back from a break? It moves fast to find your level. Playing regularly? It locks in and steadies — so your rating stays honest.
Knows how sure it is
Partner-aware
In doubles, DMR weighs each partner's strength and consistency, then shares the result fairly. A great game with a higher- or lower-rated partner still updates everyone correctly.
Fair in doubles
After every match
What happens when you play.
One match, five moves. It runs in an instant — here's the loop, then a real example straight from the engine.
- 1
Predict
DMR estimates your win chance from both teams' ratings and confidence.
- 2
Compare
It measures the result against that prediction — the bigger the surprise, the bigger the move.
- 3
Adjust confidence
Play often and your confidence tightens; sit out and it widens, keeping your rating current.
- 4
Share fairly
In doubles, the change is split between partners by skill and consistency.
- 5
Update
You get a new DMR (2.0–10.0), an updated confidence band, and your momentum.
Real example
Your team 4.10 · 4.30
vs Opponents 4.70 · 4.70
Predicted: you win 39%
You won the upset.
You 4.10 4.16 + 0.06
Partner 4.30 4.35 + 0.05
Opponent 4.70 4.64 − 0.05
Opponent 4.70 4.65 − 0.05
Small, earned steps — DMR never inflates. Everyone's confidence tightened too, because the model just got clearer data.
Confidence grows as you play
DMR doesn't just guess your level — it tracks how sure it is. The more you play, the tighter the range it's confident your true level sits in.
