+Rating Column in History
-
What does the +Rating column mean in the history tab? I sometimes see a 5 and sometimes a 10, but I don’t know what these numbers mean. Would somebody kindly enlighten me?

@knuckleballer I think you are looking at the rating points you earn for playing games. Beating a live opponent is +20, losing to a live opponent is +10, beating Malcolm is +10, losing to Malcolm is +5. Playing a solitaire game gains nothing. I don’t get that one, since you are getting the experience of playing the game. Just my own editorial comment there. Anyway, the ratings points are an indication of how many games individual players have COMPLETED (you get nothing if the game is not completed). There is a listing of the top 20 managers on the home page and you will find yours just below those. Hover your pointer over a players name and you will see their points, games played and record (those can be made private in your profile if you do not want anyone to see the info).

@hoffridge I want to concur on doing something for solitaire games. I have a rating of 540 based on my 29-21 record against live opponents and micromanagers, but I’ve played 562 games overall. If you ask why APBA GO for solitaire instead of C&D or BBW (which I played extensively), it’s the ability to buy single teams. Of my 562 games, 253 have been played in an ongoing king of the hill style tournament featuring various Philadelphia Phillies teams (plus the 1883 Quakers). I would never have attempted this if I had to buy entire seasons (even at just $20 a pop for BBW), but buying them 3-4 teams at a time individually has expanded my Phils repertoire greatly. (Next up: finishing my collection of the 14 100-game losing teams in Phillies history.)

@hoffridge I think you nailed it. Much obliged.
-
why do games played with the manual dice option chosen (even though not using it) count as zero?
-
Hypothetically one could cheat to win every time, rendering the point system meaningless.
So, manual dice games are excluded from the rating system.
Thanks,
Jeremy
