Why It Moved
AI-generated explanation: The record was positive, but the rating dipped because the 5 wins added +0.0260 while the 3 loss(es) gave back -0.0365. The biggest single-game impact was -0.0181 against Douglas Starn as partner and Ellen Huber / Mike Blackston as opponents. In game #2 on 2026-10-13, VIPR expected the player's team to have the edge, so the loss carried a larger drop: player team 3.9632 vs opponent team 3.5759.

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 +0.4126 -> computed delta +0.0017; 4.0820 +0.0017 = 4.0837
