Storyline
Kathy Gelb entered VIPR with an initial registry rating of 3.9650. Across 12 rated doubles games, the player went 7-5 and moved -0.0057, finishing at 3.9593.
Why It Moved
AI-generated explanation: The record was positive, but the rating dipped because the 7 wins added +0.0351 while the 5 loss(es) gave back -0.0408. The biggest single-game impact was -0.0158 against Tina Stephens as partner and Janet Artrip / Carolyn Roan as opponents. In game #8 on 2026-10-22, VIPR expected the player's team to have the edge, so the loss carried a larger drop: player team 3.7978 vs opponent team 3.5677.

Kathy's most common partner signals so far: Carolyn Roan (2-0, 100%), Janet Artrip (1-1, 50%), Brenda Bochtler (1-0, 100%), Jackie Elliott (1-0, 100%). 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 +0.2462 -> computed delta -0.0039; 3.9650 -0.0039 = 3.9611
