However, nothing prevents you from calculating player ratings for a virtual tournament as I suggested and tentatively setting Rold for each player to 0. This is to test the formula and practice. With these values, I know that a player should be awarded approximately 3000 rating points for first place. If you get that number, it means we are on the right track :) Well, you can start calculating the real tournament with any Rold using the VERIFIED FORMULAS :)
Well, if everything works out, I think we can close the issue regarding the rating system and ask the moderator to delete all posts except the first one (so they don't get in the way) :) ;)
