<Yes :-) But not forever. It's a simple sequence of dependencies: more time -> BK 2.0 -> more time -> BKR recalculation -> test -> compare -> release -> get stoned from disappointed users -> reincarnation -> DONE!
It's not impossible but since the BKR history is not stored, it would require a re-generation of all BKRs based on all finished games.
Advantage: BKRs would be correct at last [because due to database overhead, in some cases BKR was not recalculated after finishing a game].
Disadvantage: Some players could be disappointed that their real BKRs are lower than current values.
Random seeding was the first implementation, more than a year ago [it means that it would be very easy to add it again]. The default "sorted by BKR and similar average BKR in all sections" approach has been implemented on GothicInventor's request [very good idea, I must say, originally from Caissus] and is currently used for all tournaments. And it's not hard to plug in more algorithms.
So, it seems to be a new option on Define Tournament page, eh? :-)
Lythande: It would not be impossible to do it in your way but what happens when less than 3 signed players make a group of similar BKRs? A section must be formed of 3 or more players. Should be such players moved to a section with higher average BKR or removed from the tournament at all?
plaintiger: There is no reason to be insulted because I don't respond to all your suggestions. I regularry write down all good suggestions to my TODO list and when BK is ready for more changes, most of them will be done. However, as I already told many times, the current top priority task is a refactoring of BrainKing application code. Everything else depends on it and nothing else can be done before this job is done. Stability and good performance is always more important than new features because it affects all users.
Whisperz: It will be implemented. Due to performance issues, all tournaments will be checked once a hour outside BrainKing application [maybe even from a different server]. As a part of the automatic tournament start script.
Lythande: Maybe I missed your point but what about to define a tournament with BKR boundaries? 1800-2000, for example.
plaintiger: It is possible only for changes which don't require any change in the application code. For example, if you want to modify some text label or board description, etc.
Okay, let me say this:
1) Don't get me started again. I am not feeling well today.
2) This is Feature Requests board, not Complaints board.
3) When BK goes down during our night time, we are usually sleeping and can do nothing with it. When we have money for it, we'll be able to pay some people to monitor BK activity 24 hours a day and solve any problems immediately. But not now. We cannot afford it.
MadMonkey: I am going to remove the "hide" feature because the related problems will be solved much easier with "approve mode" for board moderators. When it's turned on, no new message will be visible for other users until it is approved by the moderator.
I've finished two games as draws yesterday, both of them affected my BKR. The formula is still the same, here.
But it is also related to the new database model, currently under development.
Magenta Spiral: When the new version of BrainKing is finished and launched.
Linda J: I've already got one. Unfortunatelly, I didn't have a chance to use it yet. I am overloaded.
Somebody [Dmitri King, most likely] has already proposed to hide users who didn't finish a rated game within three months from the Ratings pages. It should force them to continue playing.
