The Tencap Rating System is a dynamic and accurate rating system for the sport of Tennis. It uses a unique mathematical algorithm that takes the score of a match between two singles players (or two doubels teams) and based ont he result sof the match, recalculates each players skill level. The Tencap Rating Scale goes from 0-80, 0 being a professional player and 80 being a beginnier stepping onto the court for the first time. The rating system acts as a predictor, much a like a golf handicap. Based on the difference between the players' Tencap Ratings, the system will predict the score. If the score is not exact to the system's predictions, one of the players played better than expected, therefore the players' rating may adjust.

In the Tencap Rating Scale, two points difference in each players rating is equivalent to one game difference in each set played. Therefore, if Bob (Tencap 20) plays Sam (Tencap 26), there are 6 points difference between the two players ratings. 2 points equals 1 game, therefore the average score between Bob and Sam would be 6-3. If Sam and Bob play and Bob only win 7-5, Bob has played better than expected.
