Understanding the UTR Powered by Oracle Algorithm

Introduction

UTR Powered by Oracle is a modified elo rating system that promotes fair and competitive play across the tennis world. Players are rated based on actual results, not age, gender, nationality, or socioeconomic status.

When you understand your skill level, you can find hits, events, and tournaments where you'll have fun, play competitive tennis, and improve your game. All you need to know is your UTR!

What is a UTR? Why should I have one?

UTR (Universal Tennis Rating) is a number that provides a real and accurate measurement of skill level. A player's UTR is a number between 1.00 and 16.50.

Tennis Foundation Ghana on Wednesday held a Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) seminar for new coaches and administrators at the Accra Sports Stadium Media center.
