No, it's not a typo. The rating in the VK group is calculated using the pure AlexeyPanka system, which includes a bonus for progress compared to the first round, and I personally disagree with this. Look at stage 6; Alex R has 106 points for it. However, the rules have been adopted and are not subject to discussion, except perhaps for next year. I hope that this bonus will not become decisive.
Ah, I understand. So, the rating rules published by VDV are still in effect outside the framework of this year's Kanigema tournament, and the calculations for the Kanigema tournament itself are based on the AlexPank system this year. However, the overall rating for all games this year, including the Kanigema tournament and other official tournaments, will be calculated according to the rules published by VDV. I also agree with you that it would be better to calculate the rating using a single system for both the Kanigema tournament and other official tournaments next year. This will reduce the workload for the calculators and the confusion in the minds of the participants.
