Everybody has a rating
calculated the same way as a Power Rating.
To be a Power Rating, a player needs 11 match point pair games with
rated players other than their favorite rated partner during the past 24
months. This makes the rating
accurate.
What is a Power Rating or Rating?
Your average game % when
you are your own partner (or your partner has your exact skill level) and you
play against average opposition (the other N/S pairs when you are N/S)
Any personal summary will
illustrate this:
Difference between your
opposition and the Average opposition:
DOD. the average PR of your opposition
less 50.
Pair Rating:
Game % + DOD
Power Rating or Rating:
Self doubled. Your share of the Pair Rating times
2. Pair rating is split between you
and your partner using the same ratio as your overall PR to your
partner’s overall PR
