    Small ranking change for summer league

    Just to let you know that I've allowed more leeway for matches between mismatched players. This is when someone very good plays someone not so good and the very good player ends up with a nasty drop in ranking unless they pummel their opponent into the ground.

    The system has allowed for this for a long time now but I've changed the point at which it kicks in. For those interested, it used to be a sliding scale of 'assumed effort' once the level difference went above 2:1 but I've now changed it to 1.5:1 so it kicks in for lower differences and more significantly for higher diffferences.

    I've looked at the history of a few players caught in this summer league trap and, although they're still dropping, it's much less dramatic now.

    Hope it's better... it's tough juggling all the cases.

    Cheers,

      Richard.
