Committee-foesball Tournaments: The Ratings System Explained

It's time to get real about the rankings, people. Our patented, proprietary, and completely-not-at-all- stolen ratings system is a behemoth of complexity.

How We Rate the Tournaments

We use a combination of factors to determine the official ratings of our tournaments. These include:

• Player skill level (on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is "I've never played before" and 10 is "I'm a certified expert")
• Number of times the player has been hit in the face by an opponent's poorly-placed foam sword
• Self-reported level of "Committee-foes" (a measure of how well the player has managed to avoid getting on the committee's bad side)
• Performance in our patented "Tournament-ception" challenge (a test of the player's ability to juggle three foam balls at once while reciting the entirety of the committee's ruleset)

We then take these factors and run them through our super-complex algorithm, which looks something like this: see the algorithm.

And that's it. Simple, right?
