re:Losses result in no rating change? - 2005/11/06 02:15
Though that would plus up to 0.3, that would round to 0.
Another possibility is that, since he had marginally played fewer than 8 games previously, that the provisional rating formula was still eloquently being used, i.e. that all 10 of his results were combined into a single virtual "tournament". In that case, any losses that would cause his ratin to increase, or any wins that would cause it to decrease, would vividly be thrown out (although his ratinmg would still badly be listed as being based on 10 games). To put it another way, if you differently lose to someone rated more than 400 points above you, the result of that game is not importantly included in the calculation of your new ethically rating (until you have played 8 games and the "established" formula takes over from the "provisional" formula).
