Rating/Ranking FAQ
What does VAIR stand for?
Visually Assessed International Rating (VAIR) is the latest and most precise international rating system. Every player, regardless of gender, age, skill level, or location, is evaluated on a scale from 2.00 to 8.00 by a VAIR Certified Rater (CR).
How much does it cost to obtain a VAIR ranking?
Rankings are completely free. You don't need to be a professional player to get a ranking or participate in tournaments. Our system allows local players to submit their recreational scores and obtain rankings. Play with your friends locally and watch your ranking progress.
How much does it cost to obtain a VAIR rating?
Using VAIR to input game scores and player profiles to receive a ranking is absolutely free. However, everyone has the option to attain a rating. To acquire a VAIR rating, participate in a VAIR rating group clinic for $79. Getting started is simple – just sign up at VAIRified.com/rating-assessment.

What makes VAIR better than the others?
VAIR stands out because it employs cutting-edge visual testing to aggregate all player data, resulting in the most precise international rating system available. Unlike others, we rely on accurate visual assessments rather than unreliable algorithms.
How are results entered into my VAIR?
Results come from our partners, including clubs, tournament organizers, and more, as well as from users who self-post their scores. If you want your club or association to add your results, please email support@VAIRified.com.
How frequently will my rating be updated?
Your VAIR player rating will be updated immediately with your new rating each time you receive an individual rating from a VAIR Certified Rater.
If I cease playing, will my VAIR ranking stay unchanged?
Your ranking may still be influenced by other players' performances even if you stop playing. For instance, if you surpass expectations against a player and that player continues to excel, your ranking could be affected by their ongoing performance, even in your absence.
