Storyline

Why It Moved
AI-generated explanation: The record was below .500, but the rating rose because the 9 win(s) added +0.0786 against stronger situations while the 11 losses cost -0.0710. The biggest single-game impact was +0.0124 against Lori Mueller as partner and Janna Armstrong / Laura Marchisello as opponents. In game #7 on 2026-07-09, the player's team was the lower-rated team, so the win carried a larger gain: player team 3.8510 vs opponent team 3.9355.
Partnership patterns are starting to emerge.
Michele's most common partner signals so far: Janna Armstrong (1-1, 50%), Jeanan Delp (1-1, 50%), Stacey Cellini (1-1, 50%), Sue Reich (1-1, 50%). 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.
