Preparing for the "Van Kanegem" tournament.

Do you think I won't understand?
How long have you been discussing this topic with ratings and grails? Have you decided on anything concrete?

I don't know about the grails; at least, VDV promised to award grails based on his own system in his tournaments. I saw a table – it currently has question marks, but he promised to replace the question marks with numbers later on for all his tournaments. He also calculates the rating based on his own system, which he needs precisely for calculating the grails. Also, take a look at the results of the BestOfBest tournament. There's already a table showing the rating calculation using a non-linear system, which has experimental status. VDV promised to continue publishing this table if I keep calculating the rating. But I agree – you can discuss it for a long time and not come to anything – you just need to do it – you can't please everyone. I don't know what and how they will calculate in Kanighem's tournament, but AlexPank promised to calculate the rating using a non-linear system and an oscillator in parallel. And you say that nothing concrete has been decided :) You already have a rating of 21.43 for the BestOfBest tournament using the experimental system
