ELO 500 is enough to be an Expert ?

[menettm]

Hi,
I just arrive to the ELO 500 exactly at TTR.
I have received no popup to explain that I am now at 500 ELO. In "Mes badges" I have not the "ELO 500" if it exists !
The FAQ saids "Expert (500-699)"
I was not able to subscribe to the TTR experts and masters • Edition 2 : https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=199102
Maybe should I be up to 500 ?
Best regards. Menettm

Unfortunately you're at 499.6 ELO - you can see the exact figure if you hover over your ELO in your last Game Results screen

Thanks for your quick reply,
Your are right.
Maybe BGA should be updated to show the real value for the ELO : the digits after the comma should be removed in order to display the correct integer value and not the +1 value.

H.S. : Is there a way to be advised by email that a forum entry is replied ?

Would ​ "the correct integer value" ​ be the +0.4 value or the -0.6 value?

The most convenient way to avoid the confusion would be to assign the levels based on the rounded integer value (i.e. the value displayed). I don't think many people would care if some "expert" had actually 499.55 ELO instead of 500.00...

I will prefer to see 499 rather than 500 even my Real ELO is 499,9.
