LevelTech Achieves Global GSIC Performance Certification For Racket Sports Rating Technology

May 26, 2026

Independent validation confirms LevelTech delivers industry-leading predictive accuracy, outperforming traditional methodologies across the global racket sports ecosystem.

LONDON, UK (May 26, 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – LevelTech, the technology innovator behind one of the most advanced racket sports rating systems currently available, has been awarded the prestigious “GSIC Certified – Performance” seal by the Global Sports Innovation Center (GSIC) powered by Microsoft.

The certification follows a rigorous independent technical assessment by the GSIC Testing Lab, which validated LevelTech’s proprietary algorithm as a significant advancement in performance analytics. By providing a portable ratings infrastructure, LevelTech is now positioned as a scalable data layer capable of supporting federations, clubs, and tournament platforms globally.

The validation was conducted using an unprecedented dataset of more than 7.3 million match results, confirming that the methodology currently powering SquashLevels and PadelLevels delivers predictive accuracy that consistently exceeds traditional industry benchmarks.

While traditional Elo-style and Glicko-based systems commonly used across racket sports typically operate within a 65-75% accuracy range, the GSIC Testing Lab’s review revealed that LevelTech’s algorithm delivers a 78.0% overall predictive accuracy across all match types. This precision is even more pronounced in competitive environments, with 79.0% accuracy in tournament and event play, demonstrating superior reliability for seeding and competition structure. Furthermore, the system achieved up to 80.0% accuracy in padel, confirming the algorithm’s high performance and seamless cross-sport applicability in fast-growing markets without the need for manual algorithmic changes.

A key takeaway from the GSIC assessment was the algorithm’s seamless cross-sport scalability. Unlike legacy systems that often require manual redesigns or specific tuning for different disciplines, LevelTech’s core methodology proved its empirical robustness across squash, Squash57, and padel. This infrastructure-grade capability allows the technology to be adapted as a consistent ratings framework across a broad range of racket sports, including table tennis and badminton.

“This certification validates what we’ve believed for a long time: that racket sports need a more intelligent and portable approach to ratings,” said Jethro Binns, co-CEO of LevelTech. “We didn’t build this system purely for squash or padel. We built a scalable performance engine

designed to model competitive behaviour consistently across racket sports. Having that independently validated by GSIC is a major milestone for the business and reinforces our vision of supporting the next generation of connected racket sports infrastructure globally.”

This certified system empowers global governing bodies, tournament organisers, and clubs to improve matchmaking, refine event seeding, and support grassroots development through more balanced, meaningful play. By making skill progression visible and objective, LevelTech continues its mission to enhance the connected sports community, allowing players to follow, interact, and arrange competitive matches based on accurate and independently validated performance data.
