PDGA ratings are up. How'd you do?

[Mr. Butlertron]

Threw a 998 rated round in 2015 on the same course layout that was a 1009 rated round in 2014 :\

 

[sisyphus]

Up a couple points, but played a little weaker in the five events still waiting to go in...

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

I have no rating, I am a mystery wrapped in an enigma encased in a paradox surrounded by an incongruity. Or a bum. You make the call.

 

[GMcAtee]

Down 2 points to 883. Rec for life!

 

[Broken Shoulder]

Dropped my bad one, so up to 953. Not bad being back only 2 years.

And now I'm out again for a year when I started playing fairly well. Figures.

 

[BuzzzChief]

My rating didn't change. What was the cutoff for reporting?

 

[Cgkdisc]

June 2nd. Cutoff always 3 weeks before update.

 

[JedV]

Oh God, I don't really want to know... Spring was rough on me :|

Dropped to 870.

 

[bradharris]

Back up 5 to 927

 

[KGroff25]

I played in my first sanctioned tournament and came away with a 949 player rating. I'll take it!

Two rounds in the 930s and one round at 991. I'll have to play some more sanctioned rounds so there's a better sample size and see where my rating ends up.

Thanks. It's easy enough to calculate unofficially anyways, but I do have one question:

How many rounds do you need before the most recent 25% are double-weighted? For example, if you only have 4 rounds then is the most recent one double-weighted? Or do you need something like 8 rounds in your rating before that starts happening?

 

[Cgkdisc]

8 rounds before double weighting.

 

[sjberry2017]

The two rounds from the last tourney I played in average out within a point of my current rating, so I doubt I'll be changing much; next update I should have another really terrible round (my first tournament ever) drop off so hopefully I'll go up a bit.

And I dropped one point to a 762; how exactly do ratings work anyways?

 

[brutalbrutus]

Did you check to see if the ratings were adjusted upon going official?

 

[gcr_russell]

Ratings for a tournament changed but in a weird way. Ams and pros played the exact same layout each round, we just had tough OB on 6-7 holes where the ams had no ob in play. The course played a few strokes tougher in Open. However the same score in the third round is higher rated for ams than it is for Open. I personally lost 3 strokes to the ob that i would not have lost if i were playing Am.

Down 1 to 888... lovely

Getting back into the country I finally got back to tournaments. Only up 1 point, but my rounds included dropped from 75 rounds used to 48. Next update will hurt

Is there any way to make some adjustment to reflect the diference in my situation cgkdisc? Same Layout, played at the same time. Open divisions had added OB on 5-8 holes that added strokes and difficulty. Same scores between Open and Am divisions have the ams receiving a better rating, despite playing the easier OB rules at the same time.

I think the ratings are working as we would hope; those playing one course (with OB) have ratings set as a group while those playing a different course (without OB) are set as seperate group. It's just a odd combination of overall poor play by the the AM propogators (or excellent overall play by the Open propogators) in the 3rd round that have allowed them to have a higher rating at the same score while on a easier course (I'm calling it a seperate course due to having different OB rules).

It looks like the ratings in R3 are about the same even though the pros had the additional OB. The thing is, we might assume a course will play tougher with additional OB. However, the ratings results indicate that wasn't the case. Having two different pools play two layouts where the only difference is OB is like an experiment to see if the OB makes a difference. Sometimes we're surprised that it did not, at least in this experiment.
