Quote from: Free on January 10, 2024, 11:52 PMCan this and #239994 be moved to be played after #239989 so the order goes correct and I don't lose as much points?Also, EPIC self-fail from me to lose the game
Quote from: Saint on January 11, 2024, 05:04 AM Are you seriously playing for points?

Quote from: TheWalrus on January 11, 2024, 05:12 PMIt's an ELO scoring system, you may have gained 20 points, but your next loss will be more points than it would have originally been, and your wins less points. Regression to the mean, stats 101. Even if you win the next say, 20 games, your 20 points now will have gained you 0-2 points after the 20 game win streak. The regression to the mean is so stark that if you win enough games, your 20 points originally gained will be worth approximate zero. Definitely don't lose a game to a lower ranked opponent ever again, because your 20 points from reordering will be mostly wiped out vs not reordering. Hope this makes sense because I'm not a math pro! I'm sure someone could explain it better.
