The Vibe Index: your on-court reputation

The Vibe Index is your human player score.
Not your technical skill — that is somewhere else.
Here we measure whether others want to play with you again.
And honestly, that is what matters most.

How is the Vibe Index calculated?

We are not going to give you the exact formula — otherwise everyone would play to optimise the score rather than actually play well. What we can say: after each match, your 3 partners assign you vibe points. These points are aggregated over your recent matches, weighted by a few secret parameters that our team carefully invented on a Friday afternoon with a beer. The result is a score out of 10. Simple. Elegant. Uncopyable.

Vibe Tags: the labels that stick

After each match, your partners can give you a Vibe Tag. Just one, well chosen, that sums up your style on court. Here are the 8 available tags:

Magic! — This player pulls off shots nobody can explain. Including them.
Chill vibes — Nothing bothers them. Not even the ball that clipped the frame by 2mm. Calming and slightly suspicious.
Fierce player — They are here to win. They have their own warm-up routine. They keep mental stats. Do not upset them.
Fair player — Calls their own faults before you even see them. Probably raised by decent people.
Ba-ball addict! — Ready to play at 7am on a Sunday in the rain. Will never turn down an invitation. Ever.
Tactical — They analysed the opponent's weaknesses on the first rally. Playing against them is like chess but with more sweating.
Team player — Talks during the match, between points, during side changes and probably in their sleep.
Always there — Never late. Never absent. Never a lame excuse. This player is a national treasure.

What do you do with your Vibe Index?

Nothing mandatory. But knowing that your score goes up when you are fun, fair and communicative — and drops when you sulk or disappear after a loss — creates a natural dynamic. Players with a good Vibe Index get more invitations. Profiles are more visible. And above all, the matches are better for everyone.

My Vibe Index is terrible, what do I do?

First, breathe. A low score does not mean you are a bad person — just that your on-court vibe might need a small adjustment. Smile a bit more. Encourage your partner even when they miss their smash (especially when they miss their smash). Show up on time. Stay after the match for a chat. The Vibe Index bounces back quickly. We believe in you.
