|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3.5528 | 3.4942 | -0.0586 | -0.0117 |

| 3 | 3.4999 | 3.5722 | +0.0723 | -0.0079 |
| 4 | 3.5397 | 3.5618 | -0.0221 | +0.0106 |
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 -0.0586 -> computed delta -0.0117; 3.5520 -0.0117 = 3.5403
