These rows show the team ratings used in the adjustment calculation. The computed delta is the signed rating change produced by the current v0.6 formula.
| # | Player Team ( AVG ) | Opponent Team ( AVG ) | Winner-Loser VIPR Diff | Computed Delta |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4.8058 | 4.7790 | +0.0268 | +0.0092 |
| 2 | 4.7844 | 4.7839 | +0.0005 | +0.0100 |

| 4 | 4.7684 | 4.7998 | -0.0314 | +0.0109 |
Rating movement formula
Team VIPR = average - (average - lower partner) * CRF, with CRF = 0.40.
Adjustment = 0.02 / (1 + 10 ^ (2.5 * (winner team VIPR - loser team VIPR))).
Winning partners both receive +adjustment. Losing partners both receive -adjustment.
Score margin is recorded for context but is not currently part of the v0.6 formula.
First game check: winner-loser VIPR diff +0.0268 -> computed delta +0.0092; 4.8040 +0.0092 = 4.8132
