Why It Moved
AI-generated explanation: The 7-13 record produced +0.0735 from wins and -0.1189 from losses, for a net move of -0.0454. The biggest single-game impact was -0.0147 against Steve LaVallee as partner and Doug LeFebvre / Richard Whittington as opponents. In game #18 on 2026-10-29, VIPR expected the player's team to have the edge, so the loss carried a larger drop: player team 4.4266 vs opponent team 4.2514.
Partnership patterns are starting to emerge.
Mark's most common partner signals so far: Daren Haskell (2-2, 50%), Michael Leardi (1-2, 33%), Steve LaVallee (1-2, 33%), Jason Willhite (0-2, 0%). 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.

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 +0.0513 -> computed delta +0.0085; 4.4430 +0.0085 = 4.4515
