Exactly.
The second example (or, rather, a counterexample) is the same tournament, the same 50 players, the first one took 10 days, the next ones took eleven (or ten people - eleven days, seven - twelve, the rest - fifteen, so that they don't say that I gave an unrealistic example). What do we have? Among themselves, the players who finished in the same time competed according to a secondary criterion - and someone, having made an effort, showed a level and overtook everyone in their group. The question is - why can't he claim a bonus?
After all, all players will be sorted by place, but 2nd place and 11th place will receive the same rating according to the Iron system. This is also unfair.
Although this inaccuracy seems less significant to me personally (IMHO).
The oscillator is the average between the rating by days (the Iron system) and the rating by place... Two equally valid reference points have found a reconciliation in this method. Both place and result affect the calculation of the rating... Explain to me, gentlemen who disagree, what is so wrong here? Just objectively, please. Phrases like "the oscillator cuts the rating of the last place in half!" are not serious... This is not a minus, but a stimulus to develop and not be at the bottom of the table... And in general, the loss of 2-3 points for an outsider will not greatly affect, I think... 5 or 3 in the end, it doesn't matter. But instead, we solve the problem of taking into account the secondary criterion. Iron does not take it into account at all. What is more important?
The time limit is enough so that everyone is satisfied - and the organizers do not worry about possible fraud. And the players are not stressed out by sleepless nights. This is a minor problem compared to everything else...
I'm afraid you've forgotten the essence of the oscillator... With Iron, it's the number of days and only. With me, it's both days and place equally...
More precisely: in the oscillator, the result affects the place, and the place, in turn, affects the rating. With Iron, it's the other way around - the result affects the rating, and the rating affects the place.
And in both cases, there are shortcomings, but in both cases, both days and place are taken into account.
Explain to me, gentlemen who disagree, what is so wrong here? Just objectively, please.
