[pbmserv-dev] Those wacky provisionals

[Randall Bart <barticus@att.net>]

I just noticed that jon.dann has a provisional Quoridor rating of 2119 
after playing one game.  Since the highest established rating is 1790, and 
the second highest provisional is 1824, I am wondering how this 
occurred.  I thought a provisional couldn't be more than 200 above the 
player he beat.  This suggests that the rating system can be cleverly abused.
