*** Notes ***
This supplement is incomplete as the 2005 Atomic World Championships needs to conclude before
the ratings become official.

Here are a few notes on this rating system:
Average Rating is based on all 3 ratings added / 3. Simple.
Provisional is until you reach 20 games in that category.

You must play both a white and black game for them to be rated.  No one ofs.

Formula is as follows:

Your result
+===+===+===+
+ W + B +Tot+
+===+===+===+
+ 1 + 1 +1.0+
=============
+ 1 + 0 +0.4+
=============
+ 1 +0.5+0.7+
=============
+0.5+0.5+0.5+
=============
+ 0 + 1 +0.6+
=============
+ 0 +0.5+0.3+
=============
+0.5+ 1 +0.8+
=============
+ 0 + 0 +0.0+
=============
+0.5+ 0 +0.2+
=============

Tot produces a number between 1.0 and 0.0.  We call this "Tot"

Now, Rating1 = player 1's rating. And Rating2 = player 2's rating.

For provisional ratings ONLY (<20 games):
If |Rat1-Rat2| > 99, Add .2 to lower rating and Subtract .2 from higher rating. (ON TOT)
If |Rat1-Rat2| > 199, Add .3 to lower rating and Subtract .3 from higher rating. (ON TOT)
If |Rat1-Rat2| > 299, Add .35 to lower rating and Subtract .35 from higher rating. (ON TOT)
If |Rat1-Rat2| > 399, Add .4 to lower rating and Subtract .4 from higher rating. (ON TOT)

*** SPECIAL NOTE *** This does not apply to inital seeding / World Championship games!

Provisional ratings get a multipler of 3! (for first 20 games) -- this is PROVM. Otherwise,
it isn't used!

K-Value of events:
==================
World Champs - 32
Premier Event- 24
League Event - 16
Regular Game -  8

Formula is:

((TOT-.4)*K-VALUE*PROVM) + RATING

Yes, it is possible for both players to gain points (both win as black).  This rating system
has been calibrated to the uniqueness of atomic chess.

Please let me know if you have any comments or otherwise! (Keep hate to a dull roar please).

*** NORMS AND TITLES ***
(1) AWC Title -- World Champion, ** To be determined in AWC 2005
(2) AGM Titles -- 3 AGM norms
(2a) AGM norms can be gotten for advancing to the semi-finals of an AWC. Finalists get AGM title.
(3) AM Titles -- 3 AM norms
(3a) AM Titles -- If you have an AGM norm, you have an AM title. AM norms are given out in
	Atomic League events and Premier events. *** To be determined later

*** CLASSICAL TITLES ***
More info coming later!

*** FLOORS ***
Any Norm:  2000
AM Title:  2200
AGM Title: 2300
Ceiling!:  2800

I think that's about all for now.
