Storyline
Susanne Close entered VIPR with an initial registry rating of 3.1230. Across 3 rated doubles games, the player went 2-1 and moved -0.0049, finishing at 3.1181.
Why It Moved
AI-generated explanation: The record was positive, but the rating dipped because the 2 wins added +0.0111 while the 1 loss(es) gave back -0.0160. The biggest single-game impact was -0.0160 against Kirstin Burri as partner and Kerry Ferrero / Nancy Krau 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 3.2144 vs opponent team 2.9729.
Partnership patterns are starting to emerge.
Susanne's most common partner signals so far: Ed Carney (1-0, 100%), Kerry Jewell (1-0, 100%), Kirstin Burri (0-1, 0%). No partnership has reached both the 8+ match and 75%+ win-rate marker yet, so treat this as directional.
Susanne has faced Nancy Krau 3 times - record: 2-1. A close matchup worth watching.

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 | 3.1623 | 3.0022 | +0.1601 | +0.0057 |
| 2 | 3.2144 | 2.9729 | -0.2415 | -0.0160 |
| 3 | 3.2127 | 3.0403 | +0.1724 | +0.0054 |
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 +0.1601 -> computed delta +0.0057; 3.1230 +0.0057 = 3.1287
