First, displaying a floor (1200) higher than the displayed rating (1156) is wild. I understand the reasoning here (1200 is based off his live recently attained 1429 rating and 1156 is what he had before that), but it really looks odd.
Second, how does he have a 121 floor for quick and a 117 for blitz? Shouldn’t both of those be floored at 900?
The lowest peak rating based floor is 1000, which requires a post-event established rating of 1200-1299. The Quick rating doesn’t appear to have hit 1200 yet, the blitz rating is still provisional.
I’ll point out the oddity of a floor (presumably based on a recent rating) being higher than a published rating, but if that’s what’s happening, I’m not sure there’s a clean way to address it.
The 101-150 floating floors only apply to OTB ratings, so that wouldn’t affect the Online Quick rating. (REVISED)
So the point is that all the floors below 1000 are the "personal absolute rating floor"s?
The 101-150 floating floors only apply to OTB ratings, not to online ratings. Online floors have a 100 hard floor. (There may still be some ratings under 100 in the database dating back to before the 2001 rewrite of the ratings system, we have never tried to go back to correct those, since the concept of rerating didn’t exist until the 2004 rewrite of the ratings system and it was only made retroactive to events initially rated in 2004 or later.)
We didn’t used to show floors other than the Regular OTB floor, though we did compute them, but the decision was to show them on MUIR.
Leago has responded that, as suspected, the floors shown are based on current ratings while the ratings beside them are the published ratings, so a disconnect is possible. I’ve suggested they may want to add this information to an info icon popup.
Floors and published ratings were in different places on MSA, not in close proximity to each other, so the new layout makes something like this more obvious. Plus, we are now showing floors for all 6 ratings types, so something like this is more likely as well.
No, the lowest peak rating floor is 1200.
For reasons that are not clear (which means I don’t remember why), there are 82 players with a floor of 1000 and 5 with a floor of 1100. But for other players, 1200 is the minimum floor these days.
Perhaps those are money floors?
If so, they’re probably mostly from the now-defunct Millionaire Open.
