Hrqls: Yes, that would solve the problem rabbitoid pointed out - but not the problem with a strong player getting a ridiculously low BKR because he timed out in a bunch of games. His future opponents would still suffer from that.

Maybe the solution is to use the BKR from the start of the game AND delete someone's BKR if they time out in three games in a row? And (still) delete them from any tournament they have signed up for.

pedestrian: Wouldn't it be better to change the BKR formula, so that it would only change at the end of an hour (or something like that). With this change, it would calculate for all of those games at the same time and no one would be punished (I know it still isn't perfect...)

El Cid: Finally, after the smoke settled at the end of the hour he "lost" some 200-300 points, so the damage was limited.

I continue to put "" around "lose" and "win" since all this BKR stuff is at best a rough estimate of the relative strength of 2 players.making a competition out of it is silly.

rabbitoid:
Having just "won" about 20 games via timeout against the same opponent, I looked through the tournaments for new ones to enter and find the same opponent entered in many of them. This takes the fun out of tournaments, particularly the 4 player ones.

Response to Justaminute: If you convince the guy that makes those tournaments, he could lock him easily out of all of them.
