Title: June 2007 Ratings
Post by: Tom McManus on June 24, 2007, 05:38:41 PM
Anyone going way up or way down?  I don't think Dave Nelson will be playing any more Intermediate events.  I also think Brett is going to be at or over 990.

I will successfully defend my 825 rating once again :)

I'm going down for sure. The lack of practice and casual play is killing me!

I'm going way down.  Playing Bowling Green and the Wis. Warmup in a stabilizing boot didn't help.  Taking the boot off didn't seem to help either.  :rolleyes:

it will be interesting to see for me.  I had one REALLY bad tournament and followed with an exact opposite REALLY good tournament.  So I'll probably just wind up right where I'm at.  I'm glad it will be a couple months before I see the ratings from IOS #3 reflected in my overall rating because I don't want to see it go tanking downwards lol.

I'm going to plummet like a rock.  My current rating is based only on my first tournament, where I somehow shot a 912 round.

I've only played two tourneys since and one of them was a complete disaster.  Unlike Scott, I wish yesterday did count toward the ratings as that would help mitigate what's sure to be a large drop.

But at the end of the day I'm as good (or bad) as I am.  Though having a good rating is fun, I don't need a number to tell me where I stand.

I think I'm losing a point or two this time but next time, sheesh.  I've been playing like an Am IV recently.   ;D

until it takes more than 2 hands to count the number of putts that hit chains but then bounced out, you can't say that you're playing like an AMIV ;)  I had at least a dozen of those yesterday

I missed 16 putts inside the circle on Saturday, does that count?  >:D

I'll be going way down.  Too much work and not enough play have killed me.  I don't think I've averaged my rating in a tournament for quite a while.

up 6 but not in the realm of Advanced yet.  So I will be a "double-dipper" so to speak for one more rating cycle.

up 12 points to 914, lol

lol, I guess IOS #1 and IOS #2 really did come close to cancelling each other out.  I went up 1, woohoo! haha

Actually, Bruce, your rating went nowhere.

I'm up +3... The Mayhem round ratings, which I was whining about when they were unofficially posted, came up to a reasonable level  ::)

The pdga site has slowed to a crawl already!

Ha.  They made a little mistake with the DGLO third round and I have a never-shot 1028 round holding my rating steady at 941.  Take that away and I'm probably 935 or so.  I'm not going to have them fix that.  But I'm not going to crow about my first 1000+ rated round either.

I dropped 5 to 943.

No.  It didn't happen.  I'll never mention it.

Down 2 to 875, but I'm playing better lately than that would seem to indicate
Title: Re: June 2007 Ratings
Post by: J.R. on June 26, 2007, 09:16:47 AM
Do they just average your included rounds to arrive at your rating?  That seems to be the case this time, but my last rating was based on two rounds, a 912 and an 817, and somehow was 881.  No such luck this time.
Title: Re: June 2007 Ratings
Post by: pickax on June 26, 2007, 09:31:12 AM
Your most recent 25% of your rounds are double weighted. On your previous rating it looks like they double counted the first round. It doesn't matter now, but it looks like they have a bug in their algorithm. You should have been either 849 (2nd round doubled) or 865 (no doubling).

I went looking for other examples and it appears that they have this bug corrected now (no double counting if #rounds < 8 ).

Post by: can't putt on June 26, 2007, 10:00:14 AM
It looks like they consider round 1 to be later than round 2.  :D  That's the way they're listed on the ratings details page.  The average of 912 doubled plus 817 works out to 880.333.

Aha.  Thanks for the info.  I would have played Int anyway, but I could have played Rec and gotten some brass.  Oh well.  It all worked out.
Title: Re: June 2007 Ratings
Post by: pickax on June 26, 2007, 01:12:37 PM
I got a clarification from Chuck on this. If your most recent 25% of your rounds picks up only part of a tournament, the higher rated rounds are used. This is how J.R. received a 881 based on his first 912/817 tournament rounds. But it also looks like (based on analysis, not anything posted) that doubling is not occurring for small numbers of rounds.

I'm up a couple of points :)

Julie Waryk got her first rating....765!
