Why It Moved

The biggest single-game impact was +0.0142 against Kevin Geraty as partner and Edward Gainer / Ken Luthy as opponents. In game #3 on 2026-07-02, the player's team was the lower-rated team, so the win carried a larger gain: player team 3.3394 vs opponent team 3.4941.

John's most common partner signals so far: Ken Luthy (0-3, 0%), Kevin Geraty (1-1, 50%), Edward Gainer (1-0, 100%), Ron Hudik (1-0, 100%). No partnership has reached both the 8+ match and 75%+ win-rate marker yet, so treat this as directional.

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 +0.2013 -> computed delta -0.0048; 3.2640 -0.0048 = 3.2592
