Re: [pbmserv-dev] bughouse 'who won the game' error

[Lyman Hurd <lhurd@yahoo.com>]

This may have nothing to do with it...but have you
taken into account that early in ones preliminary
ratings ones rating can go up with a loss?  I was much
confused when in my first round of Zertz games I lost
each one and my rating climbed each time (I said
confused not unhappy :-)).

Even if the partner doesn't get a win, what do they
get?  A tie?  A loss? or does their rating stay
static?  How hard would it be to credit both players?
