Slams automatically calculates a set of statistics for every player. You don't need to enter anything extra: as soon as you fill in a match result, all the numbers update. One thing to keep in mind: Slams is built for padel, tennis and pickleball. The statistics therefore revolve around matches, sets, games and rating. There are no fields for goals, assists or cards, which are team-sport concepts that Slams does not support.
Which statistics does Slams track?
On the player profile you'll see, among other things:
- DSS rating: the current playing strength on the KNLTB scale (lower is better), plus the best rating ever and a chart showing how it developed over time. See DSS rating explained.
- Ranking: the player's position within the club, sorted by rating.
- Played, won and lost, with the corresponding win percentage.
- Streak: the number of consecutive wins or losses counted back from the most recent match.
- Head-to-head: wins and losses per opponent.
- Recent and upcoming matches, with the rating change shown for each match played.
- Badges the player has earned. See Badges and challenges.
How are the numbers calculated?
Slams derives wins and losses from the actual set score of each match, not from the rating change. So make sure scores are entered correctly and in full, otherwise the statistics will be off. Read more about this in Entering scores. Only matches with the status 'played' are counted.
The rating only changes for competitions that are set as 'rated'. A league, for example, does not count towards the rating, but it does count towards the match history. To learn how standings and rankings are put together, read How standings work.
Individual standings in Americano and Mexicano
In formats like Americano and Mexicano, players switch partners each round. There Slams shows an individual standings table: each player collects points (games won) across all rounds, and those are added up per player into a personal ranking for that event.
Who sees which statistics?
A logged-in player sees their own numbers through the profile on the club page. The public player profile only shows results from events whose archive is public and that have finished. Matches from private events therefore do not appear publicly, and financial data such as credit is never shown publicly. Manage visibility through Visibility and access. See also Player profile for how the profile page is built up.
