    Ranking algorithm update

    Just to let you know of a couple of changes to the ranking algorithm:

    • More account is taken of 'big wins' than before. Previously a win in the region of 27-6 or better wasn't given the credit it deserved. Now, it will.
    • There was a check to see if the players were of significantly different standard (3x) and, if so, the ranking wasn't changed (on the grounds the better player was unlikely to be trying his/her best). This has been changed to assume a sliding scale of 'effort'  from 2x onwards. What this means is that matches with very different standard players *will* now have an impact on the ranking of both - just a reduced amount the further apart they are.

    Please check your ranking level and position. If you think you've been hard done by then please get back to me ([email protected]).

    Cheers,

      Bicks.
