Organisation match ratings

Dyst

Clear standings after every game.

Competitive organisation match tracking with automatic team ratings — so the board stays fair without spreadsheet maths.

The idea

Skill lives on the lineup, not the person.

Most ladders invent a member score. Dyst projects TrueSkill onto the roster fingerprint that actually played — so a duo rating is the duo, a solo rating is the solo, and membership is only permission.

How it works

From the first invite to an honest board

Three steps. No spreadsheet, no hand-edited ranks, no overall player number pretending to be skill.

  1. 01

    Gather the organisation

    Create a home for one activity, invite the people you play with, and keep permissions on membership — not on skill.

  2. 02

    Record what happened

    Log 1v1, 2v2, uneven lineups, or N-way games. Scores become win, lose, or draw. The history is append-only.

  3. 03

    Read the board

    TrueSkill updates the roster that actually played. Standings move after every effective result — no hand-edited ranks.

The board

After the last game, the ladder is already true.

Features

Built for competitive organisations

Everything you need to record results and keep lineup skill honest — without inventing member-wide scores. The cards below are the same ones in the app.

  • Organisations as home base

    Create an organisation, bring members in, and keep one clear activity pool for invites, matches, and rankings.

  • Invites and permission bits

    Owners, admins, and members share a ladder without sharing the same keys. Fine-grained bits; ownership stays non-delegable.

  • Record matches of any shape

    Log 1v1, 2v2, uneven lineups, and N-way games inside an organisation — scores become win, lose, or draw.

  • Rate lineups, not people

    TrueSkill lives on each team roster fingerprint. Memberships carry permissions; skill stays on the lineup that played.

  • Standings that stay honest

    Ratings are projected from an append-only match history, so every effective result is reflected in the board.

  • Corrections without rewriting history

    Mistakes become tombstones and corrections, not silent edits. The projector replays the effective record.

Who it is for

A home for the people you already play with

One organisation, one activity, one board. Start on Pickup; grow into a paid plan only if the season needs it.

  • Friend groups

    A standing board for the people you already play with — foosball, padel, chess, or whatever the table is this month.

  • Office leagues

    A season that does not live in a spreadsheet. Record lunch games, keep invites tidy, and let the ladder update itself.

  • Clubs and societies

    One organisation per activity, with room to grow into Club when you need exports, branding, and deeper admin.

Pricing

Free now. Paid when you outgrow Pickup.

Friend groups and office leagues stay on a generous free plan. Paid tiers are for organisations that need Dyst to run a larger season — exports, branding, admin depth, and eventually API or a license. Matches are never metered.

Billing is not live. Every organisation is on Pickup today, with no member cap enforced. The paid plans and limits below are the intended path — not current charges.

FAQ

Questions we already know

Straight answers for the product as it is. Placeholder items stay visible until the real copy exists.

Is Dyst free?

Yes. Every organisation is on Pickup today — unlimited matches, full lineup TrueSkill, invites, and the board. Paid plans are published so you can see the path; billing is not live.

Do you rate individual people?

No. Skill lives on the roster fingerprint that competed. A solo rating is just a size-1 team. There is no overall member μ/σ.

Why does each lineup have two numbers?

μ (mu) is the skill guess — that is the ranking. σ (sigma) is how unsure we still are, so a new pair’s first win does not rewrite the club overnight.

Read the club-owner guide

What can we use it for?

Any competitive activity you can score as win, lose, or draw. One organisation is one activity pool in v1 — foosball and chess would be two organisations.

When do we pay?

Not yet. Pickup stays free. Club, League, and Org+ are the intended paid path for larger seasons — exports, branding, admin depth, and later an API or license. Matches are never metered.

Will there be an API? To be filled

An organisation API is on the later Org+ path. This answer will be replaced when the contract exists.

Guides, notes, and a way to talk

The first guide is live. Changelog and a way to talk stay on the shelf until those pages exist — no dead routes.

  • Why two numbers?

    μ is the guess. σ is the wobble. A short read for club owners who want to know why the board shows two rankings.

    What shipped, what the board does differently, and when rating math moves.
