CTP-Ratings (25-MAR-2001)

[Solver]

So it goes. When a man gets rating of 21, he's high rated, till he drops, after playing something.

Let's leave the system alone! If it is not broke, let's not FIX it!

I'm in - of course (as I will soon get a heavy penalty for my egotrip in the DC )

Actually, If you take a look at the Current Games in Progress list, you'll notice that your name has not been added to #25 (High Voltage)

Congratulations!

Quinns, I support your proposal but doesn't that mean that their should be a rectification for those that received the old rating? For example I received the full 21 points and so did many others.

[jpww]

How about creating a separate list for entry level players?

Quinns, I think Franses has a point here.
Either we stay as we are or everybody rated with the initial rank of 21.000 gets 1.000 less.
It would be fairer for the newer players but it would be a big decision.
I guess we need to discuss it further more .

[quinns]

I think Frans and Keygen are right. On second thought... we better leave it alone. You are right, it would not be fair. We can get an idea of the WEIGHT of a rating by looking at the win-loss columns. Obviously, if a player has 0 wins and 0 losses their rating WEIGHT is very low and should not be considered very seriously until they get some games under their belt. I'm removing the above post concerning this proposal. Thanks for shedding light on this before I messed up the system!

I have to confess I don't quite like the idea of changine this sytem in this meaning. Actually, those who have followed the ratings system since its vry begginigs have noticed that this was the first thing proposed. But I didn't quite like it. However, I might change my opinion here, still.
I don't even consider this being a very serious problem that new Deities have such a high rating, it usually soon drops if they deserve it .
I would like to see more opinions on this, however, before I make my decision.
And if we make the change, all players who had an initial rating of 21, will have 1 point deducted from their ratings, for otherwise it would be unfair to those new people who will come here later.
Waiting for opinions.
So, I see the opinions. OK, there will be no change whatsoever.
And Quinns, luckily, you can't mess up the whole system up without my agreement, and I wouldn't.

I just mailed it to you.

[Paul]

Lung's Fast PBEM - turn 159:

1. TheBirdMan
2. Stavros
3. Lung
-. Jon
5. Paul

Lung and Jon's powergraphs were exactly the same height.

[Solver]

Paul,
Take a screenshot of the powergraph and send it to me, with clarification which color are they. I will then look at this and decide, for this time I feel this is required.

St Jon is higher 1 pixel than Lung.

Quinns,
Drop Aaginor from the ratings. He no longer plays CtP, and has agreed to be dropped, as I talked to him on ICQ. One player less , but he won't be in the last place then.
