Card symbols in a BCL member profile indicate their standard.
PPI over 55% (16% of our members)
PPI from 51% to 55% (25% of our members)
PPI from 46% to 51% (33% of our members)
PPI below 46% (26% of our members)
The PPI is the estimated percentage score that a player would expect to average.
The primary purpose for having a scheme is to help players find compatible partners.
When you play in a rated room, your PPI changes based on the actual and expected score.
Newcomers are assigned an initial PPI of 50%.
The rated rooms are Daily MPS, Improvers Tourney, OPEN Individual, SUN Individual and Swiss Pairs League.
These symbols indicate that the member has played less than 50 boards in a rated room during the last 3 calendar months.
Symbols show after a member has played 50 rated boards.
Members can choose (in their profile) to hide the symbols when they are in the Social or Coaching Corner Rooms.
