| # | Player Team ( AVG ) | Opponent Team ( AVG ) | Winner-Loser VIPR Diff | Computed Delta |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4.2388 | 4.1445 | -0.0943 | -0.0126 |
| 2 | 4.1070 | 4.2342 | -0.1271 | +0.0135 |

| 4 | 4.1397 | 4.0927 | +0.0469 | +0.0087 |
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 -0.0943 -> computed delta -0.0126; 4.2700 -0.0126 = 4.2574
