your rating for entering banded tournies is the smallest of;
4 year rating high less 600 points,
and
2 year rating high less 300 points,
and
1 year rating high less 200 points,
and
6 month rating high less 100 points,
and
3 month rating high less 50 points,
and
1 month rating high less 25 points,
and
current rating ...[text shortened]... n a won game.
i guess a practical question is : is this easy for russ and chris to implement?
I think that all these discussions could be a bit academic, Chris stated earlier in this thread that they're working on a new improved method. It'd be good to know what that was. I sent feedback yesterday asking them to post the information, maybe we'll know after the weekend.

I notice ItsYouThatIAdore was rated 1949 on 8th December but now, five days later, he/she/it is only 1506! That's quite a fall.
I like the 365 days limit. I may not be allowed to just about any banded tournaments anymore, but I'll take that as a sort of 'graduation'. there's been a lot of massively underrated participants in the banded tournies I've taken part to, so I expect the situation to get better.

[b]Yeah looking at your graph it does appear your rating wants to go into the 1700's perhaps your intentionally stopping it from going there?
Oh cry on, your obviously around the 1650 range, your rating right now is 1662, which is only 38 points away from 1700, everyone has to deal with the same rating system as you do, dont make yourself out to be a v ...[text shortened
As we are looking at graphs. You appear to be one of those that the new system appears to aimed at. Your curve looks like the alps. Resigning games to reduce your rating I see.
My comments were a factual a statement and a suggestion to improve the current system. Yours are simply childish.

Whilst I can appreciate that something had to be done about the losers that deliberately reduce their rating to enter banded tourni's I have to say that the new system is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!!!
Using this method i'm now restricted to tourni's over 1701. I hit this high for 1 day after two timeouts in the clan league v a player r ...[text shortened]... irer as this would also smooth out rating spikes and stop the losers as well.
Thank you
Have you changed your mind about being happy to wait now?

And yes I'm very happy to wait. It will stop the deliberate rating reduction people from gaining from the practice.

If you had read my post you would see that I had already said that I hope to soon be in the 1700's. maybe if you thought before making juvenile comments about others then you would not get in this situation.

I don't see the point of limiting the time scale to 180 days or a year, or any other arbritary amount. A player who has been highly rated at some time in the past (and it's irrelevant whether that was last month or last decade) should never be able to enter banded tournaments designed for low rated players.
Let's take the example of Dustnrogers. Dusti ...[text shortened]... y for banded tournaments based on a player's highest rating should apply for their lifetime.

I've noticed that the last 365 day rating includes provisional rating.

this guy has a highest ever of 1565, i guess the rating is taken after 5 games.

Even though the whole 365 day thing is a temporary solution it would be nice to have this fixed.

Also one's rating depends on the rest of the community, which has increased by 5000 people since I joined the site - I suspect I'm going to find myself with a lower average rating as a result.

Those of you who have been above your current rating will play people who were also above their current rating. Most likely the same people, but without those who have dropped rating due to timeouts. Seems like a better situation, provided that there are more bands above 1700.
People like me, who are currently at their maximum rating in the last year, will end up playing weaker players, as the only ones able to enter the band will be the people with ratings below it.
I don't object to playing weaker players, and am playing in a couple of open tournaments, but now I have no way to play against a group of people at my own grade - banded tournaments at my grade are going to be filled with people whose rating has spiked.

ps. I don't actually care too much, but the whinging in the forums is getting on my nerves!
