When calculating the performance rating I use the players rating after the tournament as that should be a better representative of the players strength. So for the game against Skotniki it counts as a loss against an 1154 opponent. Actually when rating all games the rating value for the opponent is always the opponents post event rating. This requires a couple of iterations to get it right, but it has not been a problem.
