June 2007 Ratings

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

I read that Am Nationals got in the batch.  I'll need a parachute.

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.

You're not?

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

[J.R.]

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.

[pickax]

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 ).

[can't putt]

It looks like they consider round 1 to be later than round 2.    That's the way they're listed on the ratings details page.  The average of 912 doubled plus 817 works out to 880.333.

[J.R.]

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.

[pickax]

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.
