Stop... Kyle, in the classic ranking for speed tournaments, the primary indicator is DAYS, and the secondary is SKILLS! This is how the RANKING is determined! And the rating, in turn, is calculated based on the ratio of the result to the best result, plus the placement. No one said anything about changing the calculation!!!
Alexei has a different rating system.
His rating is within the tournament.
I participated in the classic rating, so I focused on stats, but I could have focused on mercury. But announcing changes to the calculation after the tournament has ended is not a good look!!!
