Player rating for tournaments across all installments of Heroes.

What points are you talking about? I am talking only about the CURRENT rating.

There are two players - A (rating 850) and B (rating 250). For a victory, A will receive 100. If B wins - he will also be given 100 (regardless of the rating). BUT: as a result of decay, A will lose 85 in any case, while B will only lose 25. In total, in the best-case scenario for him, A earns 100-85=15 and B in the best case earns 100-25=75 rating points. This is what I call a greater burden on the leader... :)

Let VDV and AlexPan worry about how much to decay. Otherwise, we're deciding everything as if we were the mods or some kind of administration here :)

Indeed, calculating ratings is not a job for us... We have more important things to do... Let those, what did you call them... mods calculate it... exactly...
