How are the rankings counted
|
|
Here's how the ranking works. Each player starts with 150 rating points. The winner's tournament score
(under the Council of Elrond system) is added to the winner's points, and
subtracted from the loser's. However, there is also a modification based
on the ratings of the players. For every 10 points the winner's rating
is above the loser's rating, the loser loses one less point and the
winner gains one less point. For every 10 points the loser's rating is
above the winner's rating, the winner gains one more point and the loser
loses one more point.
There is a limit placed on gains and losses. The winner always gains at
least one point, but no more than ten. Likewise, the loser always loses
one point, but no more than 10. For instance, Bobo plays Fifi. Bobo has
200 rating points, and Fifi has 150. If Fifi wins 4-2, she gains 9
points (4 for the score, 5 for Bobo being 50 points above her). Bobo would
lose 9 points. If Bobo had won 4-2, he would have gained 1 point.
Normally he would gain 4, but he gets a -5 modification because he is so
much better than Fifi. As this would be less than a 1 point gain, he
just gains 1 point. Likewise, Fifi would lose one point. The idea here
is that Bobo should beat Fifi. Therefore, if he does, then he doesn't
gain much. However, if he doesn't, he loses quite a bit.
...and what about Myspulin?
