Tattar averaged 1000 this event. A game of rating inches!
Dunno how to add spoiler tags if people are into that, so I'll wait a hot second to let the dust settle to ask about favorite stories from what looks like a crazy tournament finish in MPO.
To achieve her goal, she's gotta really keep the gas hammered. Like you said - a game of inches, and those inches get harder and harder at the top.
To update my post from post-R2....
She's going to be dropping a 954 that will be over 1 year old.
And then adding PCS and this event... she shot on average 17 points below her rating at PCS across 3 rounds, and now with EO complete she shot 6 points above her rating this weekend for 4 rounds.
Additionally - she's gonna go from 65 rated rounds to 71, so going from 17 to 18 double weighted rounds...
Her six oldest double weighted rounds at the moment are 984, 967, 991, 993, 1023, 979. Those get replaced by the 7 rounds at EO and PCS... 960, 972, 999, 1016, 1020, 979, 985
Sorting those
967 979 984 991 993 1023 - No longer double weighted
960 972 979 985 999 1016 1020 - New double weighted
So she's adding 7 rounds that are slightly below her rating (990).
Those rounds will all be double weighted.
She's un-doubling 6 rounds averaging 989.5
She's losing a 954.
Effectively she's adding 14 rounds into the calculation at 990 and losing 7 rounds averaging 984.
So even though she shot below her rating this period, there's a good chance her rating improves a bit. But despite that, this rating period looks like a long term impediment to the goal of being 1000 rated.
