Additionally, match results for all players are recorded and ratings are calculated to assist in connecting players of similar levels.

Users may receive emails from Sportconnexions as long as their profile is active. Users can delete their profile at any time. Sportconnexions reserves the right to delete a profile due to prolonged inactivity, at the request of a club, or under other specific circumstances.
