NEW RATING SYSTEM<\/h1>
To create more balanced matches and a better experience for everyone at the club.
\u2713<\/span><\/div><\/section>

Why get verified?<\/strong>
When you play with other verified players, you can trust that the level shown on their profile has been assessed and they can trust yours. This helps create better matches between players at the same level.<\/p>

It also gives you access to verified-only open matches, lessons and tournaments.<\/p>

Verification comes at no additional cost.<\/p><\/section>
