Question about ranks

Hi. I wouldn’t be asking this if I wasn’t totally lost on this subject. I want to know if there are separate ranks for 9x9, 13x13, and 19x19. I looked at my profile page and the categories are just blitz, live, and correspondence. I couldn’t tell if there was a separate ranking for the different board sizes.

Hi!

There aren’t separately calculated ratings for different board sizes.
It’s interesting to note that smaller board sizes (13x13 and 9x9) have less weight (although I can’t find precise value, it’s mentioned somewhere on the forums).

13x13 games are considered with a factor of 0.5 and 9x9 with a factor of 0.25.

Oh no! Sweet baby jesus no! That is the last thing we need. I feel that having separate ranks for blitz, live and correspondance is bloated and not really functional already. Let’s not pile chaos on top of chaos. :joy::sweat_smile:

Ok. Thanks guys.

This thread is outdated since Jul 2017. At this point the OGS rating system changed to glicko2. The rating system changed in many aspects. All info in this thread about Elo on OGS is obsolete.
