So, our tournament has successfully passed its midpoint. In groups 1, 4, and 6, the sole winners have already been determined, regardless of the results of the remaining matches.
Palach HP, BISHOP, and SVAROG – I sincerely congratulate you! You can already proudly display the award in your signature. :)
However, this is not a reason for the others to give up; you need to fight for 2nd and 3rd place, and fight in general. Are we Knights or what? :)
To encourage the players, an additional criterion is being introduced to the tournament: rating!
We will calculate the rating using the old, reliable formula of Professor Elo, tested by chess, checkers, Go, and several decades of practice. More details here: Elo rating.
What is the rating for?
1) This is not the last tournament I want to hold. A fair criterion is needed for a well-organized draw. I don't want a repeat of the situation where, due to ignorance, I made group 4 too strong compared to the others.
2) To compare the strength of players who have not played against each other. For example, if the participants played in different groups (tournaments).
3) To motivate the players. Even if it is not possible to advance from the group, you can still fight for your points or to improve your rating.
All participants are assigned an initial value of 2000, with the exception of players who took prize-winning places in tournaments over the past year.
Players who took prize-winning places in Novice class tournaments (JustObserver, HellLighT) are assigned a starting rating of 2050.
Players who took prize-winning places in the remaining tournaments (BA/IEHOK, darkello, Javdet, c0nn3c71nkK.ppL) are assigned a starting rating of 2100.
In the Elo system, the following scale is adopted: 200 rating points mean a difference in the class of play. A difference in class means that the stronger player will win with a probability of more than 0.75. That is, if player A has a rating of 2200, and player B has a rating of 2000, and they play a match of 10 games, then player A will score 7.5 or more points.
A difference of 400 points means an advantage of 2 classes, and the stronger player will win with a probability of 0.91. For more details, you can see all the probabilities in the table at the link in Wikipedia that I provided above.
For participants who have dropped out of the tournament, the rating is not calculated, but there is a nuance. For example, heroes13 dropped out of the tournament, but Sevan_80 managed to play against him, so this match is counted in Sevan_80's rating. The same applies to darkello (he managed to play against Alessandro). The rating is calculated taking into account all matches played in the tournament.
Participants who have not played all the matches have a lower rating than it could be!
