fair to all skill levels + +CHANGE 2: Fixed RD Distribution (Backwards Bug!) + Before: weight = 1/d² — penalized uncertain ratings + After: weight = d² — rewards fast convergence of uncertain ratings + Why: Uncertain ratings (high d) should update faster (Glicko-2 principle) + +CHANGE 3: Effective Opponent for Doubles + Formula: R_eff = R_opp1 + R_opp2 - R_teammate + Effect: Strong partner makes opponent "weaker", weak partner makes them "harder" + Why: Personalizes rating changes; captures partnership dynamics + +CHANGE 4: Unified Rating Plan + Status: Documented in detail, code structure ready + Phase: Phase 2 (can be done independently, non-breaking) + Impact: Will consolidate singles/doubles into one rating + +================================================================================ +EXAMPLE: REAL MATCH (v1 vs v2) +================================================================================ + +Setup: + • Team A wins 11-5 (total 16 points) + • Alice (1600, RD=100) + Bob (1400, RD=150) + • vs Carol (1550, RD=120) + Dave (1450, RD=200) + +v1.0 Result: + • Alice: +12.5 rating (established player gets more) + • Bob: +5.5 rating + +v2.0 Result: + • Alice: +9.2 rating + • Bob: +20.8 rating (uncertain player + weaker effective opponent) + +Why Different: + • v2.0 accounts for effective opponent (1600 for Alice, 1400 for Bob) + • v2.0 uses RD distribution correctly (Bob's RD=150 > Alice's RD=100) + • v2.0 measures performance vs expectations (68.75% actual vs ~50% expected) + • v1.0 ignored all this; just used margin bonus + +================================================================================ +HOW TO USE THE DOCUMENTATION +================================================================================ + +FOR DANE'S WEBSITE: + 1.
