Why It Moved
AI-generated explanation: The 4-4 record produced +0.0436 from wins and -0.0492 from losses, for a net move of -0.0056. The biggest single-game impact was +0.0194 against Ramon Jimenez as partner and Craig Vogel / Tim Tonguis as opponents. In game #5 on 2026-07-23, the player's team was the lower-rated team, so the win carried a larger gain: player team 3.2025 vs opponent team 3.8130.
Partnership patterns are starting to emerge.
Michael's most common partner signals so far: Brian Wachtel (1-0, 100%), Frank Pindulic (1-0, 100%), Matt Dame (1-0, 100%), Ramon Jimenez (1-0, 100%). No partnership has reached both the 8+ match and 75%+ win-rate marker yet, so treat this as directional.
Michael is currently on a 1-game losing streak in rated VIPR games.

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.
