1️⃣ Stats (Baseline / Threshold & Amplifier)

A. Threshold Stats (must meet minimum to reach a tier)

• 🎯 Consistency: Reliability of shot execution
• ⚡ Agility: Quick footwork, reaction speed, court coverage
• 🏋️ Fitness: Stamina and endurance for long rallies
• 💪 Strength: Power for smashes, clears, and dominating rallies

Note: Player cannot pass tier if any threshold stat is below the minimum.

B. Amplifier Stats (enhance performance within tier)

• 🧠 Game Sense: Tactical awareness, shot selection, positioning
• ✨ Shot Quality: Placement, shuttle speed, and control
• 🕊️ Mental: Focus, confidence, resilience under pressure

These amplify performance but cannot raise a player beyond a tier if threshold stats are insufficient.

2️⃣ Skills (Technique & Knowledge)

• 👣 Footwork Patterns: How efficiently the player moves to reach shots.
• 🏸 Shot Repertoire: Types of shots player can execute (smash, drop, clear, drive, net kill).
• 🎯 Tactical Execution: Ability to apply strategy in singles or doubles.
• 🧩 Match Adaptability: Adjusting play based on opponent or situation.

Skills are qualitative: not just numbers but observed ability. Stats act as a baseline, while skills reflect how effectively a player applies them.
