Title: WHRE
Post by Tuks on Jan 11th, 2012, 4:39am
i just discovered something very worrying...

whre includes automatic postal games!!!

how is that an event?

either way, i guess i should start paying more attention to them, make sure i win all those matches :)

Effectively, "event" here should be read as "collection of games that didn't directly come about as a result of players picking their own opponents", hence their usefulness as a source for a (supposedly) unbiased rating list.

ok, i get it, its based on not having a choice of opponents, makes sense...

shame that unbiasedness doesn't extend to my own postals where i usually take a lot less time thinking time than others, o well, now i know

I just added a mention on the Auto Postal page that these games effect your WHR and WHRE ratings.
