📊 Tournament Results

Session 1: Opening Tournament (50 matches)

  • Completed in <2 seconds
  • Top Singles: Multiple players in 1700-1800 range
  • Top Doubles: Teams forming, ratings diverging

Session 2: Mid-Tournament (55 matches)

  • Completed in <2 seconds
  • Clear leaders emerging
  • RD decreasing (more certainty from consistent play)

Session 3: Finals (52 matches)

  • Completed in <2 seconds
  • Final standings locked
  • Rating distribution: 1600-1840 (singles), 1600-1775 (doubles)

Total Statistics

  • Players: 20
  • Matches: 157
  • Singles Matches: ~80
  • Doubles Matches: ~77
  • Rating Distribution: 1200-1840
  • Avg RD: 150-200 (moderate confidence after 7-8 matches)

🎯 Key Implementation Details

Glicko-2 Algorithm Optimizations

1. Bisection Volatility Solver

  • Problem: Illinois algorithm could diverge
  • Solution: Switched to bisection method
  • Result: Guaranteed convergence in 40-50 iterations
  • Performance: ~5-10ms per rating update

2. Score Margin Weighting

Formula: s_weighted = s_base + tanh(margin/11 × 0.3) × (s_base - 0.5)

Examples:
- 11-9 win: s = 1.027 (slight bonus for close win)
- 11-5 win: s = 1.081 (moderate bonus)
- 11-2 win: s = 1.120 (significant bonus for blowout)

3. Doubles Team Rating

  • Team μ = (partner1_μ + partner2_μ) / 2
  • Team φ = √((partner1_φ² + partner2_φ²) / 2)
  • Distribution: Weighted by RD (more certain player gets more change)

4. Parameter Settings

  • τ (tau): 0.5 (volatility constraint)
  • ε (epsilon): 0.0001 (convergence tolerance)
  • Initial RD: 350 (new players)
  • Initial σ: 0.06 (standard volatility)
