Why It Moved

The biggest single-game impact was +0.0125 against Ken Gallagher as partner and Michael Laffey / TOM WILSON as opponents.

Partnership patterns are starting to emerge.
Bruce's most common partner signals so far: Ken Gallagher (1-0, 100%), Michael Laffey (1-0, 100%), Roger Thurman (1-0, 100%), TOM WILSON (1-0, 100%). No partnership has reached both the 8+ match and 75%+ win-rate marker yet, so treat this as directional.

Formula Homework
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 | 2.3825 | 2.4798 | +0.0973 | -0.0073 |
| 2 | 2.7744 | 2.2289 | +0.5455 | +0.0008 |

| 5 | 2.8814 | 2.9388 | -0.0575 | +0.0116 |
| 6 | 2.9163 | 2.9039 | -0.0124 | -0.0104 |
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 +0.0973 -> computed delta -0.0073; 2.9190 -0.0073 = 2.9117
