How RFC Player Ratings work

Ratings combine the player-level statistics returned for the match, playing time, positive impact, errors, discipline and role-specific contributions. The methodology is versioned so RFC can track how every stored rating was produced. “NR” means there was not enough playing time or evidence for a responsible score.
