How this rating change was computed

Glicko-2 doesn’t reward record — it rewards surprise. Winning a match the system expected you to win is worth almost nothing. Losing one is expensive. Losing to someone rated below you costs the most. The Planetary tier multiplier (1.0×) amplifies every gain and every loss.

Making cut at this Planetary event adds a flat +15 top-cut bonus on top of phase math. Making cut never costs you net rating — the made-cut floor pins the tournament delta to ≥ 0.

Matches (7)

R1 Sures Loss 1-2 1.0× Swiss

R2 PhilippRa Win 2-1 1.0× +26.0 Swiss

Glicko-2 predicted only 43% odds for you. Upset wins move the rating model strongly because the system learns a lot from results it didn't expect. Their rating wasn't well-established (RD 137, true skill could span ±273).

R3 FatherComstock_TDM Draw 1-1 1.0× +17.7 Swiss

R4 spike27 Loss 0-2 1.0× Swiss

R5 RollRobin Loss 0-2 1.0× Swiss

R6 Janoshi Loss 0-1 1.0× Swiss

Glicko-2 predicted 55% odds in your favor. Unexpected losses carry the most rating signal — the system learns more from one upset than from many predictable wins. Their rating wasn't well-established (RD 144, true skill could span ±288).
