Harmonization of room ratings and tournament ratings

Doing it this way would not solve the terrorism problem. Because of my strange notations, it must have been unclear what exactly I meant. Under 1799- (read 1799 minus), I denoted players with a rating lower than 1800. In the previous story, I also wrote that players with ratings >1799 could call standard gomoku against anyone, only if they had white. Therefore, 1800 players should play gomoku with a color swap. When calling standard gomoku, the caller would always have a more disadvantageous position precisely because he was previously in the terrorist role. Now I'm thinking that it would be better if, with 1800 players, the standard gomoku invitee could choose the color instead. That way, any players would still have the opportunity to play standard gomoku if they wanted to, although terrorism would disappear. As a comment on the conversation between peterarthur and Tiit: I don't think there's anything strange about a player with a lower rating winning in a 0 -42 game. In this case, one player has unnaturally coveted a lot of rating - good for him if he loses it! Of course, people are surprised when Latva draws with Külaots in EMV, but here a clear distinction should still be made between a proper game with a long time control and online poking. Tiit, you could try doing sudoku 25x 6x6 easy and 25x 6x6 medium with one of the following users (kraska, Est, Rauing, allever, arturlahe, Jussikas). You would play 0 -42 against all of them. I think it would be quite likely that you would lose at least one game. And if you consider that one game to be a fluke, you could try to play 500 games, and those losses would probably be more than ten. However, it would be a miracle if any of them beat you in a real sudoku tournament (not a duel tournament; analogy with a proper chess game with a long time control). It seems to me that a weaker player can beat a stronger player in sudoku in about one game out of thirty when the weaker player's best time is slightly better than the stronger player's average time. I'm not trying to criticize anyone here, just read it as a side note. I just wanted to say that losing 0 -42 is no miracle and such losses are normal in the rating cycle - a higher-rated player is not too much trouble.

There was a hint of irony in my single sentence, which turned into a conversation with Peter Arthur.

I don't agree with this change and I rarely come here now I'm annoyed I want the old vint back. Make it back like it was. I have bad ratings. Best wishes brenetikas

What do you mean by bad ratings? Your rating hasn't been that close to allever's... The stronger ones, who rarely play regular gomoku in tournaments, lost a lot more. Over time, however, the old ratings will settle down again and even in brenetikas you can prove how great a player you really are :)

Thanks for the good answer Ants. I would also like to emphasize those who lost a lot of points with this change. I suggest that Meikop gave away his 2000 points in the nails, similarly podkidnois his 1000 points. Allever has similar numbers - even bigger. So if you lost 500 points, don't be sad at all, some have lost 10 times more. If you want, you can always play your rating back.

Did anyone make a copy of the standings before the rating reform? It would be quite interesting to see. (In case the table also includes those who had not played for 2 weeks)

?

We have the numbers in the database, but a separate interface to display them seems pointless.

Surely this has been discussed somewhere, but why don't newbies get points anymore?
