As I understand it, they are proposing the following:
- A permanent rating is based on the results of tournament matches, which fairly reflects the player's skill level.
- The rating in the seasonal mode largely depends on the player's activity; moreover, in the seasonal mode, you can choose any opponent, unlike in a tournament match.
A logical option:
1) Introduce a permanent rating based on the results of tournament matches. 2) Consider all games in the seasonal mode as games within a single seasonal tournament, and upon completion of the season, add/subtract points to the permanent rating depending on the result in the seasonal tournament.
In this case, games in the seasonal mode will have less impact on the rating, and the permanent rating can be used when drawing groups/forming brackets in knockout tournaments.
I was also a little surprised that tournament matches had the same weight as seasonal matches in the rating.
