MVDO Ratings Formula

(7/14/2010)

One of the most often asked questions and one of the most misunderstood concepts in the MVDO is the MVDO rating system. While no rating system is ever going to be perfect the MVDO rating system is a pretty accurate way to track a players ability based on past performance and to a certain degree the level of the competition they are playing against. Many years ago the MVDO had two mathematical wizards come up with a very complex mathematical formula to track a players rating. Ok, I'm lying, really Paul Parker and Mike Borgard got really drunk one night and came up with this formula but it is pretty darn good so they deserve some credit. Contrary to some people's beliefs Chuck and Dave and whomever happens to be on the board that year do not have anything to do with a player's rating. At the end of each season the formula is run for every player that played that season and a new rating is calculated. Chuck or Dave or the MVDO board may assign a player his initial rating if it is his or her first time in the MVDO, but once they have a rating, its all mathematical and based on their performance. The only time a player's rating can be manually adjusted is if their rating is no longer representative of their true ability. For example a player starts playing darts in the MVDO and quits after one season and has a 65 rating. That player moves to Chicago for 2 years and greatly improves their skill level while in Chicago and then moves back to St. Louis and rejoins the MVDO. In this case, their rating would be manually adjusted accordingly.

So how does the formula work you ask? Well it is now posted in our League Rules in the Ratings section. The formula is listed and explained and there are examples to show how it works.
