Since the stair system is supposed to be an alternative methode from BKR or tournaments to determine a ranking of players, doesn't it make sense to have all stairs games played unrated? There are some people with low ratings who it is not worth me playing when BKR is involved, since I will gain 1point if I win and lose 12 if I lose, for example. And in a game like backgammon with a lot of luck involved, it just isnt worth the risk to play someone with a low rating in a normal game. But we sometimes have to play these players in a stairs match as we dont have contreoll over who challenges us.

So I would like to have the stairs games unrated!
Thanks.
