Certified RackUp Matches

8-Ball, 9-Ball, and 10-Ball.

Certified matches are played in all three. Certified players can compete in tournaments and other contests. A top APA player maxes out at SL9 in 9-Ball and SL7 in 8-Ball. The 0–100 RackUp Rating is the room above that, toward semi-pro and professional play.

8-Ball 9-Ball 10-Ball

The RackUp Rating (RISE-1) runs from 0 to 100 and is recalculated after every match.

0–100

Where a RackUp Rating sits.

Approximate starting ratings. APA tops out at SL9 / SL7, around 75. RackUp’s 75–100 range is where top amateurs, semi-pros, and pros separate.

APA 9-Ball

APA 8-Ball

FargoRate

Starting ratings are capped at 75, so a 700 or 800 FargoRate starts at 75. The formula 10 + FargoRate / 10 would be 80 and 90. Starting values also blend in self-rating, and the rating then moves with every Certified Match.
