If you play in Jordan, your WPPR rating has been showing a number and nothing else. You now get a letter with it, and Jordan has ten categories instead of four.

What was wrong

Jordan had four letters: D, C, B and A. A single Jordan "C" covered 1.5 rating points and reached across three whole global letters, so players of clearly different standard all shared the same one. It said very little about your level, so we were hiding it and showing only the number.

What changed

Jordan now has ten categories: D-, D, D+, C-, C, C+, B-, B, B+ and A. They come from the exercise Jordan's organisers ran this month, going through the country's rated players one by one and placing each of them by hand. The letters mean something now, so we have stopped hiding them.

Your rating number has not changed. Nothing was recalculated. Only the letter that describes it is new.

Same rating, two different letters

Every country uses the global WPPR letters. Jordan also has its own. Both use the same rating numbers, so one rating gets two different letters, and the Jordan letter is usually one step higher.

A player rated 3.400 is B- in Jordan and C in global WPPR. Same player, same rating.

The two scales meet exactly at three ratings: 4.250, 3.250 and 2.250. Between those lines global WPPR has two letters where Jordan has three, which is why the Jordan letters are finer.

What you will see

Look for the small country button at the top of the page, right next to the WeCourts logo. It reads Global with a globe on it, or JO with the Jordan flag. Tap it and pick a country.

• On Jordan, every rating shows its Jordan letter.

• On Global, the same rating shows its global letter.

The letter follows the country you are reading in, not the player. That is on purpose. The rating number is the real thing, and the letter is a way of reading it on whichever scale you know.

Where to find it

Open wecourts.com/players, or any player profile, and set that country button to Jordan.
