Croquet along the Potomac in Old Town Alexandria, VA. Maybe one day we'll actually get our rules written up, but until that day it won't stop us from arguing about them!

Conspiracy! Conspiracy!

An investigation has revealed scoring inaccuracies that have resulted in at least one player's rating being dropped lower than it's natural standing! How could such a thing happen? Who's to blame? A faceless system? Big Brother? A vast, league-wide conspiracy aimed at taking down the greatest threat to Bevington's lead? Simple error? An independent nonpartisan investigation is unlikely, so I doubt we'll ever know the truth. For now, Justin's rating is underrepresentative of his true playing skills. Thankfully observant eyes exposed the truth before his ego crumbled.




Justin's stats:

Wins: 2 (4pts, 3pts)
Kills: 7
Wickets: 73
Poisons: 4
Total Score: 91

Games played: 8

Justin's real & undoctored rating: 11.375
Justin's "official" score: 10.5

A difference of .875 & two ranks, or in human terms: Better than Dave.

[Update]
There was a bug in the scoring sheet and Justin's win bonuses were not being tabluated into his total points. We have corrected this problem. Good Catch Justin! BTW - the scores are rounded to two decimal points so his 11.375 is displayed as 11.38.
