On MSA this is listed as G/60 d5 for all rounds and is Dual-rated. Note the great echoing silence from the 61 players who competed.
Anyone up for an ADM to eliminate Dual rating?
P.S. Upon further cogitation, it occurs to me that the k factor for the five Masters in this event was incorrect for the last two rounds. Thus there could be a (tiny) impact on post-event ratings.
Anyone up for an ADM to eliminate adjusted k for Masters in Dual events?
P.P.S. Upon further caffeine consumption, it occurs to me that if you “fixed” the k-for-Masters issue by putting the last two rounds in a separate section, that would ruin the chances for USCF title norms for all players. It would also make k very slightly different for nearly all players, based on length of event.
Anyone up for a motion to eliminate USCF title norms?
Too many tweaks and fine-tunings and this is what we wind up with.
