This is precisely the wrong point, whoever is ahead in the standings (even slightly), in the event of a defeat, loses many more points than they would receive in the event of a victory (even for a single piece of difference)

There's nothing fair or unfair about it, it's just how ELO works: higher rated players have more to lose than to win, and lower rated players have more to win than to lose. And it is based on reasonable assumptions, that may or may not be appropriate for high-luck games, and you may or may not like, but that's the way it is. If you believe ELO is just a score that only increases as you play more and more games... well, that's not what it is.BarboRosso wrote: ↑04 May 2022, 05:57whoever is ahead in the standings (even slightly), in the event of a defeat, loses many more points than they would receive in the event of a victory (even for a single piece of difference)
For a game like Backgammon, the problem is that your Elo/EAS is likely to strongly drop down repeatedly even if you perform almost perfectly. You are right in what you say if you define 'performance' in terms of winrate, however, I define 'performance' in terms of good moves.
I would say that's not really the case for the Arena score with a K factor of 40. The system is designed in a way so that your Arena score shoots up and down and you can never really know if you are close to your personal "true score" at any time. For me it is a really frustrating system. If you took the average of your Arena score over a long time period, then you might get some indication of your skill. But the Arena score itself can and will often be very far from a reflection of your true skill.
