Subject: Ponds Ratings
I have fallen early on in my Ponds, which have a 7 day time span. That means that my rating will be reduced by something like 250 points in around two months from now. Any wins I might get from now on won't make a shred of difference to that eventual outcome.
Therefore, I urge fencer to calculate a player's rating, as soon as he/she falls into a Pond.

tonyh: I'm not sure exactly how the Pond ratings work, but I do know that they are based on the ratings of the other players in the pond. Is it possible that everyone needs to be finished before the ratings can be correctly applied?

tonyh: The more completed games you have, the more stable your rating will be - which in turn, if by the time that pond is over, if you have already finished a few others - your rating change will be less.

coan.net: Is Dice Chess an exception?  Despite having finished a lot of games, my rating swings (both up and down) still seem substantial.

wetware: it shouldn't - but the ratings take many things into consideration - your current rating, opponents current rating, amount of games you've played, amount opponet has played. But I don't claim to be an expert on the ratings or anything.

wetware: The ratings are quite funny... How can a BKR of 1800 in the dice poker games put you in the top two or three percent, while a 1800 for backgammon means you are in the bottom ten percent? That tells me the starting point for games are all different, and they should all be the same. Otherwise, how can you accurately compare people on the statistics page?

wetware: I get the same with Dice Chess. I used to think it was just because it was a new game, but as it is not anymore and i have played may games like yourself i do not know why it seems to make huge changes to BKR's

My poor graph looks like a ............ well a upey, downey thing

coan.net: In ponds, ratings swing extravangently, especially when you fall in an early round.
