2021 Rating and rank adjustments

Old thread, but my understanding is that you just feed all games into the glicko algorithm to get the overall rank. The result may be different than a weighted average of the sub-ranks. It may have changed, but I haven’t heard about that.

In psuedocode, the difference is this (only small and large boards for simplicity):

// in this example, [a,b,c] are game results from
// a "small" board, and [d, e, f] are game results 
// from a "large" board

average = (glicko([a, b, c]) + glicko([d, e, f])) / 2

overall = glicko([a, b, c, d, e, f])
