Got your attention? hehe, good. ;-)
I was playing with the ratings calculator (i dont' remember how i got there) and I figured out the output table (instead of the actual formula)
I'm pleased as punch at myself, and i thought I'd share my joy and insightes with all (unsolicited!)
The following the MATRIX. It needs a little explaining.
SCENARIO: Player 1 has a rating of 1200 , Player 2 has a rating of 1300
(DR) = The difference in ratings. ex: 1200 - 1300 = |-100| = 100
(LR) = If the underdog wins (in this case, player 1), they get this many points.
(HR) = If the higher rated wins (in this case, player 2), they get this many points.
DR |LR |HR
15 -16-15
25 -17-14
50 -18-13
75 -19-12
100-20-11
125-21-10
150-22-9
175-23-8
200-24-7
250-25-6
275-26-5
300-27-4
350-28-3
400-29-2
500-30-1
600-31-0
More than 600 doesn't change the awarded points.
Less than 15 doesn't change the awareded points.
Round to the nearest DR and that's what you'll get awarded.
NOTE: Your opponent will lose what you win, plus one. (if u win 20 points, they lose 21)
