Show Kyu/Dan instead of Glicko Rating on Player Profile

@GreenAsJade

What gives you this idea? I don’t think that’s true. If if were true, then your overall 1500 rating would not be equal to another player’s overall 1500 rating.

The only difference between the sub-rating is the pool of games that they come from.

No, I’m not talking about the overall rating, just about the sub-ratings. Also, that’s what I could understand from this quotes:

@anoek

The reason why we don’t provide ranks for the breakout ratings is because they are all different rating pools, so we can’t just take the same rating -> ranking mapping and apply it to each (I tried, the results are humorous ).

@anoek

This is true, they are on different scales. This is also the reason why there are no ranks associated with the broken out ratings. To be honest it’s an open question as to whether we should keep the breakouts or not, at this point they are strictly informational.

To me, they say that since the sub-ratings come from different scales and different ratings pools, they are only related to the overall rating and not on a global scale (19x19 live from one user to 19x19 live from another user), and since the data which each user obtain its ratings is different, each users sub-ratings true meaning is different.

Simplifying, when reading the information above I understood that since each user has a different history, the way that each sub rating meant is different (think relative on a player data instead of absolute all players 19x19 live data).

Oh, by the way @GreenAsJade, I wrote that before you edited. I am just gonna post that anyway to inform my thought at time. Right now, I think I agree with you interpretation about that, just really would like some sort of final clarification about this from the devs.
