The results of the ВК Tournament have been updated: /topic/2131/. As promised, discrepancies in the rating systems have appeared!
It was clear from the start that there would be differences. They are especially noticeable in the second half of the table among the underdogs. Look at OlegRS and Gmir. OlegRS played in both tournaments, while Gmir only participated in one. See what place OlegRS holds in my system and what place he holds in yours based on the sum of both tournaments :) I understand that we won't just marvel at the discrepancies but will try to analyze them somehow. I have a theory explaining why vbn is ranked first in my system based on the total score of two tournaments, even though they were different versions of the game. The simple formula I proposed as a universal one already automatically includes a bonus that you add to your systems for smoothing out the results. Roughly speaking, if we rely on your reasoning about bonuses, then vbn completed the first tournament in 17 days, while Zingel did it in 12. In the second tournament, vbn finished in 7 days, and Zingel in 11. At first glance, vbn (17+7=24) and Zingel (12+11=23). It seems like Zingel has a better result overall, BUT compared to the first tournament, vbn improved his time by 10 days, while Zingel only improved by one day compared to his previous performance. This is reflected in the numerical expressions of their combined ratings for both games. And according to my system, vbn pulls ahead of Zingel by as much as 7 points. According to your bonus-based smoothing systems, which distort the results in terms of days depending on the position taken, Zingel wins, but the difference is less than one point. Moreover, since the games are played for speed, the record remains at 7 days, which even shocked Zingel, who didn't hide it because vbn was two days ahead of his closest competitors. In the first tournament, the results were close; Zingel and Kyle had 12 each, followed by VDV and me with 13. Although vbn performed poorly in the first tournament, he showed an EXCELLENT result in the second, so I personally believe that his first place based on the results of the two tournaments in my system is justified. However, I think Zingel's first place in your systems is somewhat contrived, thanks to the bonus :) Perhaps you could analyze the results of Kyle and RichardI?
