PDGA Round Rating Estimator

Estimate what a round would rate. Use the course's scratch scoring average, or derive the value from two players whose ratings you know.

A round that exactly matches the layout's scratch scoring average (SSA) rates 1000. Each throw above or below SSA moves the rating by the points-per-throw value, which depends on how hard the layout plays.

How accurate is this? The PDGA does not publish an exact formula — official ratings are calculated per event from the scores of "propagators" (players rated 800+ with an established rating). The Known propagators mode reproduces that math and is the more accurate of the two. The Course SSA mode uses a transparent approximation of the points-per-throw curve (about 10 points per throw on a typical layout, more on short/easy courses, fewer on long/hard ones) and is meant as a ballpark only. You can edit the points-per-throw value directly if you know it.
