Why It Moved

The biggest single-game impact was -0.0124 against Jim Keating as partner and Jim Suminski / Mark Burkowski as opponents.

Partnership patterns are starting to emerge.
Scott's most common partner signals so far: Bill Shoemaker (1-0, 100%), Jim Keating (0-1, 0%), Jim Suminski (0-1, 0%), Mark Burkowski (0-1, 0%). No partnership has reached both the 8+ match and 75%+ win-rate marker yet, so treat this as directional.

| # | Player Team ( AVG ) | Opponent Team ( AVG ) | Winner-Loser VIPR Diff | Computed Delta |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4.2453 | 4.3191 | -0.0738 | +0.0121 |
| 2 | 4.1610 | 4.2917 | +0.1307 | -0.0064 |

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 -0.0738 -> computed delta +0.0121; 4.2330 +0.0121 = 4.2451
