SE4 Rating System

Slynky · #1 September 2nd, 2003, 12:52 AM

I've updated the site to show the latest change in Ratings: Primitive and Roanon.

Here, you'll notice how the formula works. At a rating 1000, Primitive received 16 points for winning his first game against a player with the same amount of points. Then, playing as a player with 1016 points against a player rated at 1000, he only received 15 points. That's the beauty of this rating formula. Higher Ratings are expected to win and if that occurs, there are less points earned (and lost). On the other hand, if a lower rated player wins, both will win/lose more points.

While we know there is more luck involved than chess Ratings, where the formula comes from, in the long run, better players will generally have a higher score. And, when these high-rated players play someone with a much lower score, BECAUSE they are expected to win, they gain less points.

While you are hard at work, you can add KOTH Baron Grazic vs Primitive.

And please stop reminding people that there is an extra bonus for whacking me

I'll give whacking Primative a go...

Sorry, I always forget to notify you. But yes I do intend it to be rated. And Bbgemont does as well as that was the precondition I set for whomever wanted to join the game against me.

I've added the game to the Ratings list. I'll need some confirmation from Lord Chane.

= 1,000th message...

No need to apologize. It seems to be a common ailment...

.

I want to make it as easy for people as possible and perhaps emailing me from the site is a few extra clicks to go through. What do you think about adding an email link in my siggy line, Geo? Seems a lot of people want to use this thread for notification...I could accept notification here and in an email (and therefore have a confirmation to use should anyone say they never agreed to have a certain game rated).

Also, the rules say the losing player should report the loss but I've been accepting any results posted here. What do you think would be easiest, Geo? After all, you're good at organizational things like this...what do you think would be easiest for all concerned?
