Better Rating System

•I decided to create an improved version of the Glicko2 rating system. The Glicko2 rating system is a widely used method for evaluating the skill levels of players in competitive games, and has been applied to a variety of different domains including chess, go, and video games. However, there are some limitations to the original Glicko2 system, and I saw an opportunity to make some improvements.

To create my improved version of the Glicko2 rating system, I started by reviewing the existing literature and understanding the underlying principles and assumptions of the original system. I then identified areas where I thought the system could be improved, and developed a set of modifications and enhancements to address these issues. Some of the specific changes I made included:

• • Adjusting the way the system handles draws and ties
• • Incorporating additional information about the players and their history into the rating calculation
• • Adding a mechanism for adjusting the rating period dynamically based on the rate of change in the ratings

After implementing my improved version of the Glicko2 rating system, I ran a series of simulations and tests to evaluate its performance. Overall, I was pleased with the results and found that my system outperformed the original Glicko2 system in a variety of different scenarios. I believe that my improved version of the Glicko2 rating system has the potential to be a valuable tool for evaluating the skill levels of players in competitive games, and I am excited to see how it might be applied in the future.
