MRLMRLMRL Ratings
MRL publishes one official, percentile-based Season OVR per eligible player season. Every player is shown on one league-wide scale rather than in separate tier leaderboards.
The prominent OVR on a player profile is their Official Career OVR: a weighted average of eligible seasons. Each Season OVR remains separate, with its own recorded position and history. Career never fills a missing Season OVR, and an unavailable Career rating is not replaced with a Season rating.
Players are evaluated against historical standards for the positions they actually played. Mixed-position results are combined using the player's appearances before producing one Season OVR. The published percentile shown on player pages is a separate public ranking of that official Season OVR among published ratings at the same rated position that season.
Competition context follows the regular-season games the player actually appeared in. Every eligible appearance matters when a player moves between tiers, and there is no artificial tier OVR cap.
Small samples carry less certainty and can produce high ratings that change substantially after another match. The Season leaderboard defaults to players with at least 10 appearances; choose All official ratings to include small samples. Qualified ranks and percentiles compare only the qualified cohort. This appearance rule is not a confidence guarantee. Strong lower-tier performances can outrank weaker Pro performances. Official ratings use completed, approved regular-season data.
Career OVR is an official career rating based on calculated Season OVRs. Seasons need at least five appearances to contribute. Games provide weight up to 15 appearances per season, and each older eligible season receives 85% of the next eligible seasonβs weight. Gaps do not add extra decay. One eligible season can produce a Career rating, but it is labeled Limited history. Where compatible data is unavailable, an approved historical basis may be shown as a Historical record.
OVR summarizes recorded regular-season performance. It does not observe every off-ball contribution or prove that one player would outperform another in every match. Small decimal differences should not be treated as certainty. Career average is separate from Legacy/GOAT achievements, and Elo continues to serve its existing competitive and valuation purposes.
If a game, player identity or recorded position is incorrect, report the player, season, game and supporting evidence to league staff. The same correction standards apply to every player. Owners review releases before publication; ratings are not adjusted simply because a player dislikes the result.
