Game Courier Ratings. Calculates ratings for players from Game Courier logs. Experimental.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Since all the previous comments were written, I have completely changed how ratings are calculated. Details are given on the page. It bears more similarity to Elo, but it is still very different from Elo. Unlike Elo, which is designed for retaining information across tournaments without keeping extensive records of all games played, this method is designed with the assumption that all the records are available. This is the basis for the reliability measure used to allot a portion of the performance rating between two players. This method is also designed to avoid some of the problems of Elo, such as good players losing points by playing inferior opponents even without losing any games.
