So it seems you agree with OP proposal where 3.2k would be a stronger 3k (let’s call it system A).
My initial uninformed interpretation was that 3.2k might mean weaker 3k (let’s call it system B).
Currently (as in the current implementation on OGS) 3.2k seems to mean stronger 4k (let’s call it system C).
In short:
- in system A, 3.0k means strongest 3k
- in system B, 3.0k means average 3k
- in system C, 3.0k means weakest 3k
Kyu rank ranges:
- in system A, 3k ranges from 3.9k (weak) to 3.0k (strong)
- in system B, 3k ranges from 3.5k (weak) to 2.6k (strong)
- in system C, 3k ranges from 3.0k (weak) to 2.1k (strong)
Dan rank ranges:
- in system A, 3d ranges from 3.0d (weak) to 3.9d (strong)
- in system B, 3d ranges from 2.5d (weak) to 3.4d (strong)
- in system C, 3d ranges from 3.0d (weak) to 3.9d (strong)
Kyu/dan boundary:
- in system A, the strongest kyu rank is 1.0k and the weakest dan rank is 1.0d
- in system B, the strongest kyu rank is 0.6k and the weakest dan rank is 0.5d
- in system C, the strongest kyu rank is 0.1k and the weakest dan rank is 1.0d
In system A there is potential ambiguity when the rating falls exactly on the kyu/dan boundary. This should be exceedingly rare, but I guess the system could just arbitrarily pick either dan or kyu label.
We can poll people’s preference I guess.
Which system makes most sense to you?
- System A
- System B
- System C
