# Accurate Ratings

Our proprietary algorithm uses relative rating affected by a handful of factors other than player and opponent ratings such as match outcome, last played since, and our magic number, skill confidence to provide a true reflection of your ability with just one numerical rating.

# Effortless Tracking

Forget spreadsheets like Excel. Played a match? Track it with Poolaris. Your match history is saved forever-no limits, no clutter, no hassle.

# Seamless Integration

With intuitive Discord slash commands, buttons, menus and modals, interacting with such a system on a platform that already provides a lot of ease-of-use features makes using Poolaris is a breeze for players and club officers alike. Furthermore, our website provides access to the leaderboards and profiles in an even more accessible manner, as well as being the primary way to apply to use Poolaris.
