9 ranks restriction in ranked was removed?

I suppose it’s not exactly the same

As in yes it seems like you lose more rating as a 17kyu with 9 stones, than an 8 kyu with no stones.

@stone.defender

vs 1k it would be loss of 0.2 ranks by Rating Calculator

In terms of the rank fraction, 0.2 ranks is going to be different at different levels because the rating gaps between levels aren’t constant.

At least when I played around with it a while ago it seemed like

@shinuito

I think in lower ranks ~15kyu or so, it looks like it’s about 50 rating points gaps between ranks. Then around 5kyu = 1550 ish it’s starts to become a bit wider, 1620 ~ 4kyu, 1690~3kyu and 1760~2kyu so about 70 rating points gap.

Now 1840~ 1kyu so 80 points gap, and same to 1920 ~ 1dan. For 2dan upward it’s actually like a gap of about 90 up to about 4dan.

Then it’s like 100 points to get to from 4d to 5d at 2290, and similar to about 7dan at 2490, like 110 to get to 8d at 2600 and then I think 120 to 9dan.

So the gaps in rating points do increase as you go up, and there is a slightly larger gap around 1kyu-1dan than in lower ratings gaps say.
