Player rating for tournaments across all installments of Heroes.

After all, that's how it works. In Competitive events, the winner is determined not by the in-game rating, but by the actual result or the place taken. And it may happen that a player with a high in-game rating might not win. Well, they just got unlucky – anything can happen. Prize-winning places are awarded based on the actual results. But then, various organizations or others calculate in-game ratings for players, possibly using different formulas. And it's not a fact that these in-game ratings reflect the real state of affairs in the next Competitive event. I suggested keeping in-game ratings for all forum players, both separately for each version and as a universal rating. But I never said that these formulas should be used to determine the winner in tournaments. There, it's based on the actual result. But someone decided to take the rating formulas to determine the winners in the ВК tournaments. :) What do I have to do with it? What the hell are these bonuses? It's like in a football game with a score of 4:2, giving one of the teams a bonus of an extra goal: 4:3. And even if it doesn't change the result of this match, this bonus goal can later play a role in distorting the results of the entire championship. Of course, the example is silly, but it's for the sake of simplicity to understand what is happening in the ВК tournament right now. In my system, at least the goals (read: days) are real, without bonuses. If the number of days is the same, it's a draw – they receive the SAME rating in that particular tournament. And what does it mean that secondary parameters affect the place? Like, so what if it's a draw, but those in red shorts ran faster and looked better? I can't stop laughing. :)
