Solution 1: Reduce K-Factor in games after consecutive results regardless of the outcome (win less, lose less in both directions) I haven't been around for a while and have not read everything. But somehting like the above seems to be the best possible solution to me. You could reduce the K factor ...

Yeah, it's generally not wanted that users have access to this data. (I guess it's mostly to protect this information from competitors. To have detailed information on which types of games are played, when, by whom, this is valuable information you do not give out for free as a business.) I think yo...

As pointed out by Jellby, it has always been like this.

In cases like this,
