grenv: The point is that stairs were introduced as an alternative to the BKR or tournaments, it should therefore be seprate. If you dont care about ratings, then why do you bother slaming my request? If I were to play all my backgammon games with all lower bkr players where I would only gain a point or maybe none, my bkr would obviously go down. I Know because backgammon has so much of a luck element to it that people dont consider the bkr to mean that much anyway, but there are reasons to want to maintain a higher bkr anyway.

Maybe I will amend my request to only include single match stairs....
