Rating Floors

26 Jul '11 03:53Originally posted by utherpendragonI would think a floor of approx 200 points lower than ones highest ever. Rounded to the closest 100. So for example I would not be lower than 1800, so dumping 100 games would only lower me to the 1800 level, instead of the more desireable 1200 level.
how would this work ?

If you were playing say a 1300 rated player in an open tournament you would effectively be gifting them in excess of 24 points for each game.
If that happened in a few tournaments, even ...[text shortened]... son why it has not been implemented despite being requested on numerous ocassions in the past.
