Hi all,

Today I watched parky1989wba... he won a game andhad his score reduced by 3% due to edge modification.

I have just played and had my score reduced by 47% for the same reason.

Has this always been the case for over 900s or something? but never been displayed after a win?

could someone clear this up, what is edge modification?

Thanks

Greg

3) The edge modification: if you approach a very high ranking or a very low ranking your score is reduced.
Ideally, no players should be able to reach the extreme limits of the rankings system. If they do, the system is flawed as we can not differentiate between 2 players on the maximum.

Therefore it is (roughly) exponentially more difficult for players above 900 points to reach 1000 points.

An amount is reduced from scores, this is known as the edge modification

The actual amount is linear, at 900 points you lose 0%; at 950 points you lose 25%. If you get past 950 points it becomes even more severe, eventually resulting in a 100% loss of points at 1000.

The inverse occurs for users with scores below 600.

c i thought iy was for huge differences in rankings because i played a 550 odd ranked player and i was 860 then my rank was reduced by bout 3% because of edge modification

I remember beating an 890 3-0, and i gained about a point from each game because i was about 980

Fnx This Helped
