SNAPPYRanked fantasy sports
ELO matchmaking. Eight divisions. Your rank means something.
Snappy is the first fantasy sports app with a real ranked system. Every player has an ELO rating. Every match adjusts it. You climb through 8 divisions based on skill, not luck or money spent.
If you've ever played ranked in League of Legends, Valorant, or chess, you know the feeling. That's what Snappy brings to fantasy sports.
How the rating works
Snappy uses a Glicko-2 rating system — a modern variant of ELO used in chess, Go, and competitive gaming. Your rating is a number (starting around 600) that goes up when you win and down when you lose. The amount depends on the relative strength of your opponent.
Beat someone rated higher than you? Big gain. Lose to someone rated lower? Bigger loss. Over time, your rating converges to your true skill level.
Unlike DFS or season-long fantasy, Snappy's ranked system means every match matters. There's no "just one entry" — your rating is persistent and reflects your full competitive history.
The eight divisions
Your rating maps to one of 8 divisions. Each division has a rating range, and as your rating crosses thresholds, you move up — or down.
- Bronze200 – 400
- Silver400 – 600
- Gold600 – 900
- Platinum900 – 1200
- Diamond1200 – 1600
- Master1600 – 2100
- Grandmaster2100 – 2700
- Legend2700+
Placement games
When you first join Snappy, you play 6 placement games. These matches are used to estimate your initial skill level and place you in the right division. The first 3 placement games are Bronze-level matches with simplified scoring. The next 3 adjust based on your performance.
After placement, you get your initial rating and division. From there, every match adjusts your rating up or down.
Why ranked matters
Without ranked matchmaking, competitive games devolve into mismatches. Beginners get crushed. Veterans get bored. Nobody improves.
Snappy's ranked system ensures that you're always playing against someone roughly as skilled as you. Your matches are competitive. Your improvement shows in your rating. And climbing from Silver to Gold, or Gold to Platinum, feels like a genuine achievement.
Your rank is earned, not bought. There's no way to pay for a higher rating. The only way up is to win.
