Rating Re-evaluation Policy

Purpose of the Policy

PhantomID ratings are designed to reflect long-term performance and credibility, not short-term peaks or isolated results. This policy ensures all competitive ratings remain fair, accurate, and representative of a player's current competitive level.

Eligibility for Re-evaluation

• Every registered PhantomID player is eligible to submit 1 rating re-evaluation request per calendar year.
• Unused requests do not carry over to the following year.
• Requests submitted outside the allowed frequency will be automatically declined.

Conditions for Submitting a Request

A request may be submitted if the player can demonstrate:

• Significant improvement in competitive performance
• Consistent results in official or recognized tournaments
• Advancement to higher-level competitive environments
• Sustained performance over time (not isolated events)

PhantomID reserves the right to reject requests that do not meet these conditions.

Evaluation Process

All re-evaluations are manually reviewed by the PhantomID team. The evaluation may include:

• Tournament results and placements
• Level and credibility of competitions played
• Match statistics and performance consistency
• Competitive history recorded on PhantomID
• Overall impact and reputation within the competitive scene

No automated system is used for rating changes.

Possible Outcomes

Following a review, one of the following decisions will be issued:

All decisions are final and not subject to appeal.

Transparency & Notification

• Players will be notified once the evaluation is completed.
• PhantomID does not disclose internal scoring formulas or evaluation weights.
• Detailed justifications are not guaranteed for every decision.

Automatic Rating Conversion

PhantomID automatically calculates a competitive cote for each player based on their in-game ranks across connected game accounts:

• Each game's rank system is mapped to an equivalent PhantomID tier (Novice → Legend).
• Example: Valorant Radiant or Fortnite Unreal convert to the Legend tier.
• Example: Valorant Diamond or CS2 Global Elite convert to the Master tier.
• A player's overall PhantomID rating is the average of their cotes across all connected games.
• This automatic conversion is recalculated when a player connects or updates a game account.

The automatic system serves as a baseline — the PhantomID team may adjust ratings through manual review.

Immortal Rank — Admin-Only Attribution

The Immortal tier is the highest possible PhantomID rating and is subject to strict restrictions:

• Immortal can never be assigned automatically, regardless of in-game ranks.
• It is exclusively granted by PhantomID administrators following a thorough manual evaluation.
• Criteria include exceptional tournament results, elite-level competitive pedigree, and recognized standing in the global esports scene.
• A re-evaluation request alone does not guarantee consideration for Immortal status.

PhantomID reserves full discretion over Immortal attributions. No formal process guarantees this tier.

System Integrity & Abuse Prevention

• Rating manipulation attempts will result in request denial.
• False or misleading information may lead to penalties or account action.
• PhantomID reserves the right to suspend re-evaluation privileges if abuse is detected.

PhantomID Authority

PhantomID maintains full authority over rating definitions, evaluation criteria, and final decisions. This policy may be updated at any time to maintain fairness and competitive integrity.

Acceptance of Policy

By submitting a re-evaluation request, the player acknowledges and accepts this policy in full.
