Yesterday saw 15 matches played with 2 new players.  Plus, I dealt with my first >2 match fed through my own ELO computer.  (Nerds, hear me:  To wit, Annie & Jeff beat Me in a 2v1 match up.  I basically treated it like a ‘half match’ for them so they shared doubles, shared boards and only got half of what their ELO increase would have been had they played me singularly.  I, on the other hand, took half of my ELO loss from Jeff, and half of my ELO loss from Annie and added them together to get my total loss.  I think this is better than treating it as two discreet matches: Annie v Joe and Jeff v Joe.  Again, sorry if you read this?)

Scyler & Annie joined the fray and the stats after day 2 of Crokinole Mania are as follows (I obviously encouraged Scyler to play for the stat sheet benefit—drain his rating before Jeff gets to him!! Bwaha.  Oh.  Sudden realization.  Maybe that’s why they don’t do real time ELO adjustment…):

Um, I just noticed a Read More icon on tumblr so I think I am going to exercise my editorial rights to use it.  Why have I JUST NOTICED THIS NOW?  Honestly about to rage quit this post.  I could have saved you guys so much trouble in the past.  Anyway if you want to see the stats I’ve been keeping HIT THE JUMP!  (Spoiler: I am the only one above 1500 ELO, Jeff is at 1499)

Since tumblr is also rejecting my HTML table tags I will give you the long form:
