Anyone who has used both DGCR and UDisc knows that UDisc ratings are inflated by comparison. I recently did some data analysis to see just how inflated and I think other people would be interested in seeing it.
I took the 137 courses that I have played that are not "RIP"-ed and recorded the DGCR Rating as well as the UDisc rating for all of them. I then fit a line to the data (shown below)
If the ratings were not inflated, we would expect the trendline to have a slope of 1, and an intercept of 0. What we actually see is a slope of about 0.5 and an intercept of about 2.4. This means 2.4 is about as low as UDisc ratings go, so essentially they only use about half of the scale (2.4 - 5.0). DGCR on the other hand uses pretty much the entire scale, there are courses with 5+ reviews rated 0.1, with 22 courses with 5+ reviews rated 0.75 or below.
I really wish DGCR was the standard tool that everyone used, rather than UDisc. I get that people like UDisc for tracking their round, but the course information provided is just so much more meaningful on DGCR.
