What a TD expects from TCR (minimum completion rate)

[scarletv]

Please only answer when you yourself are directing or hosting tourneys at BBO.

 

BBO gave us a feature to make life easier for directing and more comfortable for the players participating in our tourneys by excluding players with a bad completion rate. After I found out about this possibilty I wonder what the TD communitiy is thinking about.

 

 

Do we like it and how do we use it. Does it work the way we want it to work. Do we want to change it or leave it as it is. I hope this little poll might help to figure that out.

The idea of excluding players that run and/or leave on the last board is a great idea. But the way they are doing it just doesn't work. I tried to register with a player in a 75% toutney the other day and he was blocked due to an "unknown" TCR. He hadn't played 10 tourneys in the last 60 days. This is not a player we want to exclude since he never leaves a tourney he starts. To give just one example - here in the United States if you sre an accoountant you probably won't play 10 tourneys in 60 day or in the first 4 months of the year. Accountants are all swamped doing income taxes during the first part of the year. The TCR should be used just for what it is supposed to do. Exclude players that leave. Requiring players to play a certain amount of tourneys in a given time should have nothing to do with this.

As of this morning, we've changed the process of computing new TCR and MCR. You won't lose your old rating if you haven't played enough recently (10 tourneys in 60 days for TCR, 10 games in 30 days for MCR).

 

This isn't retroactive, so players that have already lost their TCR have not gotten their old TCR back. But once they play enough, they'll stay rated.
