Alright, thanks. Such a quick forum here, nice.

You're welcome. Timing was just lucky and your subject was one many of us hold dear. :-)

You moving up this month draug?

I know I am: adding a win, a draw and a survive+ should make me the highest rated with only 6 games played.. *crosses fingers*. I guess I could calculate it myself, but sounds like a lot of work. Catching up with you pros :P

I may as well, still have a 60% win draw ratio.

@YJ - Not sure. Depends on how my draws worked out GR wise.

dont draws always improve your GR? Or is it dependent on your expected result? I only glanced at the formula enough to get a general idea.

You can take a loss in a draw. If your opponents are below your skill level (expected result) then you need to reduce the draw as small as possible to break even or make points and it is possible, if you have more than 6 times the GR of the #2 player) to lose even on a 2 way draw. Say you have a 600 GR and everyone else is new at 100 GR, a 2 way will be a break even. Have a 300 GR and everyone else be 100, then a 3 way is a break even. 200 and 6x100 makes a 4 way be a break even.

@yellowjacket, that's actually not quite accurate. While your record is good, your competition hasn't been the highest quality so a new player who got in on a draw with a few top 50 players or even pulled off a win would end up with a higher gr. Just pointing out that out in case you didn't know. That's why so many middle players like to play with the top players.

OK, that makes sense, thanks guys. It's all about the expected result then.

so, where are the November GRs? :P

I'm just assuming that we are skipping Nov. at this point. Looking forward to december!

Yeah, more wins and Draws on my part before then.

no, you can't skip november, that would ruine my peak score :(

It may get delayed, but TGM always computes them for the month. Once the problem gets fixed, he'll run a set of November numbers and then a set of December numbers.
