Subject: match play
Well... I raised a lot of discussion with that one question... But, the answer gives me a sweet idea, and I don't care, I'll share it with all...

Match play, when played between two people, gives the advantage to the better player! Think about this, and it only makes sense! Say you have two players, one wins 80% of the time. Of course meaning the player that is not as good wins 1 out of 5, which over a period of x amount of games could mean a lose in BKR for the higher rated player.

However, during match play, a lose doesn't count, and the better player will almost always rise to the top. Think about it and it makes sense! I, from now on, will be playing much more matches, because an occasional (single game) lose to a person does a lot of damage, but an occasional lose in a match, means essentially nothing when I win the match!

The drawback, you have to play a lot more games to get a win, but in reality, the same amount of games (in a match format) CAN get you a higher BKR, because if implemented well, can mean less loses and a rise up the standings!

wooo.... look out BKR leaders! Just give me enough time to finish a bunch of matches and I'll be leading some of those standings! ...ok... not really.
