Why should the CURRENT rating of ALL players be reset to ZERO at the beginning of the year??? It's as if everyone is born anew.
Let's look at the tournament concept for the portal… If you check this post, you will see that tournaments will take place seasonally (one season equals one year).
That is, every year there will be a Van Kanneghem Tournament and others.
At the end of the year, there will be the Best of the Best tournament, TOP10, and also at the end of the year, the results are summed up based on the ladder. Therefore, at the end of the year, it is possible to sum up the results based on the rating as well. Everything is logical.
And with the new year, both Новичок and veterans are in equal conditions regarding gaining rating points.
I promised not to age the rating during the Kanneghem tournament, but not specifically because of the Kanneghem tournament. And since at least 5 or more additional tournaments will take place during this time, I think it is acceptable to adjust the rating by 50% according to my system. This was allowed in my system.
Well, consider: what’s the point of aging if it doesn’t work in most cases?
It was said that I would age the rating at my discretion, both in terms of timing and percentage.
Sincerely.
