Why It Moved

The biggest single-game impact was +0.0161 against Mike Long as partner and Edward Gainer / Robert McCollough as opponents.

Partnership patterns are starting to emerge.
Brian's most common partner signals so far: Mike Long (1-0, 100%), Edward Gainer (0-1, 0%), John Patton (0-1, 0%), Robert McCollough (0-1, 0%). 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 -0.2437 -> computed delta +0.0161; 3.3680 +0.0161 = 3.3841
