The world's first online crossword tournament

In my opinion, the calculation of the starting rating of this tournament is wrong. Here's an example: the first round started and the first 10 players' ratings changed to each and after the 10th player the first calculation was - mixed. Meikop was first on the list and his rating changed to 336 and the last was Teeletoots, he immediately had - 336 (although this Teele didn't play to the end, just an example). It would be more correct if it was 1400, then the rating doesn't change at the start, only when playing and the rating changes during the game. In short, if this Teele had played and come first, then in the end he would still have 1400. I guess I wrote it clearly.

This last column shows the rating change IF the tournament ended in this order. No one's rating actually changes before the tournament ends.
