How to interpret the statistics in Upsi?

In the autumn of 2023, Upsi underwent a significant redesign of its statistics feature to better capture a variety of individual disc golf metrics. These new statistics not only offer greater accuracy but also present a broader and more comprehensive set of data. While they are designed for quick loading, there might be a slight delay during their creation, so we kindly ask for your patience. We're committed to continuous improvement and your feedback is instrumental in this process. Please let us know your thoughts and how we can enhance this feature further.

Rating

The introduction of the rating system in Upsi during summer 2024 is an exciting new feature for all users. This system allows you to objectively compare your skills with other players. In the statistics section, you can view your rating class, your current rating, and your ranking among your friends.

For a comprehensive understanding of how ratings work, including how they are calculated and updated, please visit the Rating Help Page.

Daily playing streak

Your daily playing streak record shows the longest streak of consecutive days you've played at least once. Additionally, your current streak is displayed if you have one, making it easy to chase your record. The streak is accurately calculated based on the timezone of the course you play on.

Courses

This figure indicates the total number of unique course locations you've played. Remember, a single location might have multiple layouts, but it still counts as one distinct location. This statistic includes any course where you've played, even if you only completed part of the round.

Details: Course Names and Number of Rounds: Here, you'll find a list of the courses you've played, alongside the number of rounds you've completed at each location. For each course, you'll also see what percentage of your total played rounds occurred there. This gives you a clear idea of your most-frequented courses and helps you track your activity distribution across different locations. These stats follow the same inclusion rules as the total amount.

Layouts

The "Layouts Played" statistic tallies the unique layouts you've engaged with, including any partial games, aligning with the count of courses in our previous statistics feature. It's important to note that this metric is deprecated and slated for removal in spring 2024, so we encourage players to familiarize themselves with the "Played Courses" and "Played Course Details" for a more detailed record of their disc golf experiences.

Countries

This statistic reflects the number of distinct countries where you've had the pleasure of playing disc golf. This number is not just limited to the courses you've completed but also includes those where you've played any part of a round, providing a true sense of the geographical breadth of your disc golf adventures.

Details: Here, you'll find a list of countries (countries as defined in the ISO standard) where you've played. For each country, the app displays the total number of rounds you've played there, along with a percentage that indicates how these rounds proportionally compare to your total rounds played. This detailed breakdown follows the same inclusive criteria as the "Countries Played" statistic.

Time spent on course

This statistic aggregates the total duration of all your games, meticulously calculated from the start to the end, and is conveniently displayed in days, hours, and minutes. It's important to note that games automatically terminated due to inactivity—typically those that have been forgotten—are not included in this total. This ensures that your "Time Spent on Course" reflects active, engaged playtime, providing a true representation of the time you've invested in the sport as close as possible.

Known issue: Games started and ended in offline mode are currently calculated in their total duration to this statistic. This problem will be fixed in near future including current statistics affected by this issue.

Rounds

Cumulative count of all single-player rounds you've completed.

Doubles: Similarly, the "Doubles" feature tallies the total number of doubles rounds you've finished. This count reflects the cooperative side of your play, capturing the essence of teamwork and partnership on the course.

Details: Here, a bar graph visually represents the distribution of your games over years or months, based on your selection. Accompanying the graph is a detailed list that provides exact round counts, comparisons to previous periods (+/- %), and the option to sort by time or number of rounds. You can toggle between monthly and yearly groupings, with the monthly statistics exclusively available to Upsi Black subscribers. This feature allows for a granular examination of your disc golf activity over time.

Last 30 days

Statistic offers a snapshot of your recent disc golf activity, displaying the total number of rounds you've played in the past 30 days. This provides a quick gauge of your current engagement level with the sport.

Prev 30 days: feature serves as a comparative tool, juxtaposing your most recent 30-day activity with the preceding 30 days. It showcases a visual bar indicating an increase or decrease in the number of rounds played, accompanied by the percentage change.

Day distribution

Statistic visually reveals your disc golf habits across the week. It not only presents the percentage of games played on each weekday but also uses varying color depths to intuitively display which part of your total games falls on which days. The deeper the color, the higher the frequency of games played on that specific weekday, offering a clear and immediate understanding of your weekly disc golf routine.

Time of day distribution

A nuanced breakdown of your disc golf sessions according to different times of the day. Rounds are categorized into four time slots: morning (6-12), day (12-18), evening (18-24), and night (24-06). This statistic takes into account the local time of the course played, including adjustments for daylight savings. By presenting a visual and percentage-based distribution of your games across these time periods, it offers a detailed insight into your preferred playing times.

Holes with penalties

This statistic measures the total number of holes you have penalties marked to. When comparing this remember that marking the penalties has only been available starting spring 2023.

Throws / hole on average (removed)

This statistic has been removed in April 2024 as obsolete. We will have better metrics to compare your skill soon. The "Throws / Hole on Average" statistic is a simple yet effective measure of your performance. It calculates the average number of throws you take per hole by dividing your total number of throws by the total number of holes played. This metric is based solely on single-player scores, providing a focused view of your individual skill level. While we acknowledge that it's not a perfect system, it serves as a useful benchmark to gauge your progress and compare your skills against those of other players.

Holes

Cumulative count of all individual holes you've completed in single-player rounds. This figure represents the extensive reach of your disc golf play, showcasing the breadth of your solo experience across different courses and layouts.

Doubles: The total number of holes you've played in doubles rounds. This count offers a perspective on the collaborative aspect of your play, indicating how often you engage in partnership-based games.

Details: This detailed section provides a visual and numerical breakdown of the holes you've played, segmented into monthly and yearly statistics — a feature exclusive to Upsi Black subscribers for the monthly view. It displays the exact count of holes for each period, along with a comparative analysis (+/- %) against previous time frames. This granular approach, paired with sorting capabilities by time or count, offers a rich understanding of your engagement with the sport over time.

Throws

The total number of throws you've made during single-player rounds. This count is a testament to your active participation in the sport and serves as a foundational data point for calculating performance metrics like the "Throws / Hole on Average".

Doubles: Mirrors its single-player counterpart but for doubles rounds, totaling the throws made in partnered play.

Details: Offering an in-depth look at your throwing activity. Just like the "Holes", it includes both monthly and yearly statistics, allowing you to observe trends and fluctuations in your throwing frequency. With exact throw counts, period comparisons, and the ability to sort the data, this feature paints a clear picture of your disc golf journey, one throw at a time.

Hole-in-ones (and eagles id you have them)

This feature proudly displays the total count of your hole-in-ones, those moments of perfect aim and execution that result in the disc landing in the basket in a single throw. For an expanded view of your exceptional plays, if you've achieved eagles that aren't hole-in-ones, these are additionally shown here.

Scores

Birdie, Par, Bogey Totals This comprehensive statistic captures the total count of birdies, pars, and bogeys you've achieved in single-player games. More than just a count, it also provides a relative percentage for each score type, indicating the proportion of holes you've completed with a birdie, par, or bogey, respectively. This feature offers a clear view of your scoring tendencies and proficiency on the course.

Overall score distribution The graph categorizes your scores into classes: less than birdie, birdie, par, bogey, double bogey, and more than double bogey. Accompanying the chart is an itemized list detailing the count of holes for each specific score and their corresponding percentage of your total holes played. This ungrouped listing also includes only single player rounds.

Score Development Over Time This statistic visualizes your scoring evolution. Choose to view this data in yearly or monthly increments, with a bar chart segmented by the various score classes, ranging from "less than birdie" to "more than double bogey." In addition, a detailed list provides the exact number of different scores achieved within the selected time frame, along with their percentage share. This list can be sorted by time, specific score, or number of holes, giving you the flexibility to analyze your progress in multiple ways. However, note that these time-based statistics are exclusive to Upsi Black subscribers, offering a premium insight into your disc golf journey. Only single player game scores are counted.
