Hi, will T46 be in the same format, and will they set new ratings?

What were everyone's thoughts on the format, anyway? I like it both ways.

Yes, we will be keeping the same format for T46. Most of the feedback I've got about the format has been positive. There's also been some well-reasoned criticism from a few people, but for the most part the change seems to have been embraced by TLers.

Personally, I think it is too early to make a decision on comparing the two formats, but like smallblackcat, I am pleased with the rational and thoughtful discussion, whether pro or con.

"The format for T46 will be the same as for T45, but many of you will have noticed some changes to our rating system. TeamLeague ratings now take account of your performance in TL games, as well as your standard rating. It is hoped that this will make such ratings a more accurate reflection of playing strength at TL time controls, and will remove ambiguities about how ratings are set."

So, how are the ratings calculated?

And, how do I see the official TL rating of a player, via "tl fi player_name"?

The formula is 70% standard rating, 30% TL performance, and the command to see them is "check player_name" (you can even do a batch of several players at once).

Just trying to submit my teams...the website tells me "There is no player

Submitter is not the captain or the assistant captain!"
However, I am sure I filled in the page correctly.

It works now. Cheers!

There is a broken link on my captain's page so I cannot check the team, can you please fix that - cheers.

Thanks to smallblackcat, seberg, and fernbap.

The TL plugin for BabasChess doesn't work, why?

When I will be able to see my section (Capablanca) standings?

posted at 2011-05-10 04:39 by kocur

No answer?

Capablanca standings now appear. The TL plugin is an independent piece of software (designed by crem, if I remember correctly), so there's nothing TL staff can do about that.

posted at 2011-05-11 15:34 by jaberwock

Correct, crem is the originator of the plug in.

All concerns should be directed to him.

When is the end of TL46?

posted at 2011-07-13 18:40 by jaberwock

kocur; I did not see your question earlier. By now you probably have seen the announcements for starting T47...
