Dear Andi,

That Mr. Masumoto ist listed with Elo 1700 in all list except in the rating=
=20
results has the following reason: Mr Masumoto started in round 4 and was=
=20
registered by Mr. Sera. Mr Sera did not know exactly, how strong Mr.=20
Masumoto is (he just said he is about 2 or 3 kyu). So i assigned him a=20
rating of 1700 just for doing the pairings.
As his real tournament performance was then lower than this 1700 points, he=
=20
got a performance rating (1122). This performance rating is also what count=
s=20
for you, if you played against him.

Best regards,
Thomas Pfaffel

Dear Thomas, dear Asle,
thank you for your efforts in managing all the results! However, I have
a question: Mr. Masumoto is listed in all the lists at 1700 points, but
not in the rating list, where he is at 1122. Is this his performance
rating? And am I right to suppose that it is this latter rating that was
used to calculate the rating changes of his opponents? Of course by now
you might have figured out where I'm coming from; I played a really nice
game against him which I wouldn't be ashamed to take 20 points for :).
However, there is a bit of altruism in it as well: Should he have to
start his next tournament with 1122 points, he shall leave behind quite
a few disgruntled opponents, as he is beyond any reasonable doubt a high
level kyu player, just as most of the lists say.

Thanks a lot
Andi (Andreas Pietz)
