Look long and hard at the three left columns (first and third board). Until you can dream them.

Only round the rating when you post the rating list.

Dunno if that is done like that as well.
Like Ibav said, that's exactly how it works. Winning a daily challenge with 29 players gives the same boost as winning 7 straight 5-player timed games (assuming opponent ratings are equal).

It's tough to come up with a good system for ranking daily challenges because every "game" isn't an independent event. I'm open to suggestions though. Right now the best thing I can come up with to allow more movement is to keep cranking up the minimum uncertainty (which is what I did a few weeks ago).

I think the rating system does a good job of rewarding the best players without being influenced too much by variance, but it's probably too slow at recognizing a real change in skill.

gogogogogogoooo ibavly

We will have a 2+2 in teh finals for shure, either ibavly or zac

zac: the trend of bonnie and clyde continues - are you going to do something about it?

TH10 was ONE number away from beating Alex´s advanced score. He made 69350, but change the 4 in a one and he would have made 73K.

would have been pretty chuffed to take down the DC yesterday - it was pretty tricky. 2nd is ok, i guess, but i crave the wins.

Yeah, I emailed last night and told them that I'm about to go through the daily results and zero out a bunch of scores, then rerun all the rankings. Just need to find time to do it now.

13 players tied for first in the challenge yesterday, must be a new record?

3 wins in 6 days, variance can be awesome.

I was one of the 13 tied for first, but it didn't increment my daily challenge wins, still at 2.

I'm missing one of my wins as well, should be at 12. Zac probably needs to update the 13-way tie manually.

Idk how I managed to luckbox my way into a daily challenge win. I think the closest I've come since then is 3rd.

Tyty. Obv just dependent on getting lucky w/ racks. I don't think I made any non-standard plays. My daily challenge rating will tell you I'm no triplechain expert lol

I thought I butchered another challenge, but I´m currently the glorious #1.

It will unlikely hold though ...

I would have pipped him myself but had a facepalm moment where I completely misplaced one of my tiles and didn't realise until I was on to the next rack.
