Total Match Points ("TMP") is a measure of activity. Examples for one player: (1) You play one match to 9 points. You have 9 TMP. (2) You play 3 matches to 5 points, 10 matches to 9 points, and 5 matches to 17 points. You have 3*5 + 10*9 + 5*17 = 190 TMP.

System TMP is the sum of individual TMP for all players in a rating system. Below, total TMP for DBgF-rated matches 1999-2011 with the percentage change from the previous year:
