Very Minor Point on the Ratings

If I'm not mistaken, something needs to be revised on the Arimaa Rating System page (which you access by clicking on Rating in the player profile). It says there that new players start with a rating of 1300 and an RU of 120.
This has since been changed to a starting rating of 1400, right?

Correct. The starting rating of the players has been adjusted several times in order to keep the overall system for inflating or deflating. We don't have a theoretical reason to have settled on 1400, but in practice 1500 seemed to cause inflation while 1300 seemed to cause deflation. The ratings description page should be updated to reflect the starting rating of 1400, where it has been for over a year now.
