Your current SquashLevels level is a calculated assessment of your current playing level which, by definition, can fluctuate quite a bit. That's what makes it so interesting! However, for official rankings pages, we want a longer-term view of your level so we apply 'extra damping'. For this, we use the four match moving average level (see below) which smooths out the fluctuations and gives a more considered value for your playing level.
Your four match moving average is calculated for your full playing history so even looking back at previous ranking periods, we can still apply this extra damping.
