Formula Homework
These rows show the team ratings used in the adjustment calculation. The computed delta is the signed rating change produced by the current v0.6 formula.
| # | Player Team ( AVG ) | Opponent Team ( AVG ) | Winner-Loser VIPR Diff | Computed Delta |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3.9969 | 3.9808 | +0.0161 | +0.0095 |
| 2 | 4.0176 | 3.9980 | +0.0196 | +0.0094 |
| 3 | 4.0052 | 3.9778 | -0.0274 | -0.0108 |
| 4 | 3.9868 | 4.0012 | +0.0144 | -0.0096 |
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 +0.0161 -> computed delta +0.0095; 4.0190 +0.0095 = 4.0285
