OFFICIAL ORGANIZER GUIDE

HOST OFFICIAL SPINDEX-RATED COMPETITION

A step-by-step implementation guide for club operators running certified competition on Stadium.

What is a SPINDEX-RATED Event

SPINDEX turns local competition into recognized performance data.

OFFICIAL RATING UPDATES

Certified matches can contribute to official player ratings.

GLOBAL PLAYER TRACKING

Every player maintains a verified competitive profile.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION

Leagues and tournaments run through Stadium and connect into SPINDEX.

CERTIFIED COMPETITION. VERIFIED RATINGS. CONNECTED PLAY.

Why SPINDEX Matters

  • COMPETITIVE INTEGRITY

    Ratings are calculated from certified match data, so every result means something. Players know where they stand.

  • PLAYER IDENTITY

    A player's SPINDEX rating travels with them across clubs, cities, and events. Every certified match adds to their record.

  • GLOBAL STANDARDIZATION

    One rating system across all participating clubs means fair comparisons and consistent competition anywhere in the network.

SPINDEX IS NOT JUST A TOOL. IT IS RATING INFRASTRUCTURE.

Success Story: Princeton Pong

After introducing SPINDEX Challenge Nights, Princeton Pong saw a 25% increase in weekly attendance and a clear boost in player engagement. Members were motivated by tracking their progress, and seeing their names climb the leaderboard turned every match into a reason to come back.

“I can’t believe how fast SPINDEX blew up at our club. Players are constantly talking about it—and now we have a waiting list for Challenge Nights. I really think SPINDEX is the future of table tennis.”

Ben Rosenberg
