Understanding the Differences: SquashLevels & SportyHQ

4th December 2024

If you’re wondering how SquashLevels stacks up against SportyHQ, let’s clear up a common misconception: we’re not competitors. In fact, we work hand in hand. SquashLevels connects seamlessly with SportyHQ to deliver a richer experience, giving players access to tools and insights that go far beyond what either system can achieve on its own.

What Makes SquashLevels Stand Out?

By offering unique features and powerful insights, SquashLevels is designed to give you a clearer picture of your performance, help you track progress, and inspire you to improve your game

Player Comparisons

One of our standout features is the ability to compare players. Players are able to compare their level and performance against anyone in the world, whilst SquashLevels is also able to predict the likelihood of you winning, breaking it down into match probability scores.

Accurate Ratings

Our unique algorithm will calculate your level based against the number of points you actually get compared to the number of points you were predicted to get based a number of factors including; your level, your opponents level, behavioural modelling and various other factors, making SquashLevels one of the most advanced rating systems of any racket sport in the world.

Aggregated Results

No matter where you play, who you play for, or what software they use to record results, SquashLevels brings your results together in one place. This gives you a comprehensive view of their performance no matter where you’ve been competing.

Dynamic Ratings That Reflect Real-Time Performance

At SquashLevels, we pride ourselves on the dynamic nature of our ratings. After every match, there’s movement – every single point counts – you don’t just automatically go up if you win.

  • Lose better than expected? You might still go up.
  • Win but underperform? Your level could drop.

This dynamism ensures every point counts and reflects your form as it stands today—not six months ago. It’s perfect for juniors climbing the ranks, seasoned players honing their skills, or anyone looking for real-time feedback.

SquashLevels is more than just numbers; it’s a hub for squash players. You can:

  • Follow friends.
  • Get notifications when they’ve played a match.
  • Scroll through your personalised feed to stay updated with squash news, match results, and announcements from brands, federations, and organisations.

SquashLevels and SportyHQ aren’t rivals—they’re partners. Together, we’re making squash more exciting, transparent, and connected. Whether you’re a casual player or competing on the world stage, you’ll get the best of both systems, helping you track, improve, and enjoy your game like never before
