Online rating system: +1 for last place, not ex aequo!
Posted: 30 Oct 2020, 15:20
Today I had a very funny online experience while playing the World Cup myself (rating 1640) with Michał Ferenc (rating around 1240) and Kajetan Duczkowski (rating 1006).
Kajetan left the competition, both me and Michał jumped qualifications and 2 rounds. Michał ended 2nd place, I was 1st, Kajetan 3rd. Guess who got +1 rating point...
Kajetan
No screen available, but Michał witnessed it as well and told me that he didn't even make a qualification jump
So my question is: how is that possible? Is it because of the float rating representation?
