Proposal:
To keep the Ratings system as fair as possible while making sure it represents the abilities of the Ratings members, I'd like to propose there be a sort of committee to resolve any unforeseen "problems" with rated games. There was one in the past (where a member of the Ratings system took over for another rated member and asked if the rating would count for him). I had to resolve it the way that I thought was fair. But, I had to make that decision myself and I'd rather have other opinions for any future questions that may arise.
So, I propose the following:
That a committee be formed consisting of the following:
1. Myself (I started this idea...
and I think I'm objective and fair)
2. Geoschmo (one of the most honest players I know and one who wanted to start the "Ladder" system but changed to this system)
3. Asmala (who runs the KOTH system now and who has demonstrated good leadership decisions in that area)
4. One other player (currently) below 1000 points in rating who members feel would be a good representation to add a bit of "equality" to the system.
5. And finally, a member recommended the most by other members.
That would make 5 members...enough to avoid a tie and to get a good opinion.
So, let's hear what you have to say about my proposal.
PS: The Ratings site will be updated with the names and rules to reflect this change.
