I plan to make a fellowship reorganization.

Subiectul: -- Lost Fellowships --

Are there any plans to remove fellowships where the BigBosses are no longer active - or at least possible put those fellowships up for "auction" or other members to possible take over and run?

The 2 that come to mind for me quickly are The Dream Team and Gammon Geeks, but there may be more, and I'm sure there will be more sooner or later.

21. Decembrie 2003, 08:44:05

I had at least one for everybody I've ever played I think.

Guess that debate draws to a close...

16. Decembrie 2003, 21:34:40

I think unrated WITHOUT any completed games, is 1300. But if you are unrated, but have completed 3 games and won them all, your rating is even higher, though not shown. I only say this because when I signed up for a Tank Battle tournament, I was unrated, but I was at the top of my section, as though I had a high BKR. ( I got lucky, and am actually not that good at Tank Battle !!! :-D )

Subiectul: Draws

I hear all the time of a ratings drop with a draw but I have never heard anyone say they gained any rating points from a draw. I had draws with much higher rated players and they did drop..but I didn't gain. Oh well.

16. Decembrie 2003, 21:19:10

Oh... I guess 1300, not 1500. :-)

16. Decembrie 2003, 21:18:40

I think unrated are actually rated 1500 (but just shows unrated at first.)

Plus is also has to do with how many games a person has played also. The more games that have been played, the less the rating will go up and down (since it is more established).

16. Decembrie 2003, 21:17:12

From the FAQ page...

"Each player has a BKR although it is not displayed. Players start with BKR = 1300 and the BKR is not shown until he/she finishes at least 4 rated games"

So if your rating was a lot higher than that, Steve, a draw would make your rating drop quite a lot.

16. Decembrie 2003, 20:59:00

my draw was against an unrated, so would have thought it would not be too big a drop

16. Decembrie 2003, 20:57:44

LOL.. we all pretty much posted at the same time and said the same thing... :-)

16. Decembrie 2003, 20:55:53

Logically, it seems it should effect it, unless both players are pretty equally rated... Obviously it shouldn't have as much effect as a win or loss. Clearly if a 1200 rated player achieves a draw with a 2400 rated player, their 1200 bkr should go up at least a little.
As other people have pointed out in the past, in many cases it is probably such a small change that it doesnt change the # we see. (as it doesn't go out any decimal points.)

16. Decembrie 2003, 20:54:07

If the BKR's are significantly different, a draw will affect both ratings. If the ratings are similar anyway, it will hardly touch them (if at all), which is probably why they appear to change with some draws, and not others.

16. Decembrie 2003, 20:52:58

As I understand it, draws are suppose to affect ratings. I don't think many usually see it since it affects it less then a win/lose, and if the rating are some-what close to each other, you won't see any change.

But for example you have a player rated 1000, and another player rated 2000 - for the 1000 rated player to not lose and get a draw will get them some points.

I'm not sure of the exact formula, but I was thinking it was posted somewhere.

16. Decembrie 2003, 20:51:23

I have not had it affect my bkrs until this time (that ive noticed)

16. Decembrie 2003, 20:45:57

It should affect it! However, I have seen people say that it NEVER affects theirs, and others say it does. I wonder what the "true" answer is...

I've only had 4 draws, so I don't really know if it affected anything..

So the total is reset to 30 (in the case of a rook) on January 1? Or does it work like other sites where if you use a vacation day on December 15 2003, you will get that particular day back to use again on Dec 15 2004?

No, I think it would be fairer to remove the questions. That way there won't be any chance of people getting on their backs about why they didn't answer 'such a question'.... Does that sound OK?
