Banda Talk

Hi all, I am coming from the Go world which has a very rigorous ranking and rating system where even on online servers I can easily know how good I am relative to other players. My question is what is the equivalent in the Bridge world for novices and beginners before they start earning masterpoints or if my financial situation prevents me from entering tournaments in order to earn masterpoints. I am loving Bridge so far and look forward to learning more and hopefully earning masterpoints soon! Thank you!
