[pbmserv-dev] ratings in multiplayer games

[Lyman Hurd <lhurd@yahoo.com>]

How do ratings work in multiplayer games?  It would
seem there are a lot of cases to consider.  What if
someone forfeits?  Resigns?  Does everyone else win?

By the way, has there been any consideration to my
suggestion (in two player games) to simply make any
game in which the effect of a win would be to lower
the winning players rating, simply unrated?  This
would allow people to play teaching games without fear
(though I believe this only affects provisional
players, as it has been noted some games are a lot
harder to complete 20 of than others).

Cheers,

Lyman
