Storyline
Richard Chris Armstrong entered VIPR with an initial registry rating of 4.8060. Across 27 rated doubles games, the player went 14-13 and moved -0.0293, finishing at 4.7767.
Why It Moved
AI-generated explanation: The record was positive, but the rating dipped because the 14 wins added +0.1191 while the 13 loss(es) gave back -0.1484. The biggest single-game impact was -0.0169 against Derek Wuebbels as partner and Kevin Faust / Oliver Sun as opponents. In game #9 on 2026-07-16, VIPR expected the player's team to have the edge, so the loss carried a larger drop: player team 4.8174 vs opponent team 4.5227.
Partnership patterns are starting to emerge.
Richard's most common partner signals so far: Michael Leardi (2-2, 50%), Gary Kray (2-1, 67%), Oliver Sun (2-1, 67%), Ted Custer (2-1, 67%). No partnership has reached both the 8+ match and 75%+ win-rate marker yet, so treat this as directional.
Richard has faced Gary Kray 8 times - record: 4-4. A close matchup worth watching.

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.
