I think higher rated players should have to play some (very few) lower ranked opponents. Posted by nzymatic Dec 15 2021 5:03PM There would be more games played and those games have lots riding on them. One out of every 10 games?!? Just spitballing Ratings Posted by iPeg (VIP) Dec 15 2021 8:07PM Higher rated players are not necessarily the best. They are only higher rated because they are very selective in who they play, only opponents who are slightly below or above their rating. Itâs more patience and discipline than skill. Ratings Posted by egregius99 Dec 16 2021 11:42AM The ratings system disincentivizes players from âplaying downâ to someone lower in ratings. It is true that these ratings are not necessarily a true measure of skill. I would like to see players rated by win %. I think it would encourage more play. Win % is, I believe, the best gauge to measure skill. Ratings as they are now prevent some from just playing anyone. cornerking11 Posted by xeasygoin Dec 17 2021 1:27PM Exactly. Win% would totally solve this ongoing concern. Posted by CribCutee123 (VIP) Dec 17 2021 1:57PM I love this suggestion. I think after you refuse to play so many players, you should have no option but to play the next player that invites you. Ratings again⦠Posted by KyllerB (VIP) Dec 17 2021 4:50PM Just enjoy the game of Cribbage, win or lose! Ratings and win % can be and will be manipulated for those that deem it necessary (bragging rights, false perception of playing similarly skilled players and finding a game quickly etc.). My suggestion is, when a player sends out an open invitation, they have to play the first player that joins the table for 1 game. If they bail, they lose the game. If higher rated players donât like that rule, then DONâ T waste people time by being so selective! Send out a private invite to the players that meet their criteria. Have you ever tried? Posted by 221bBakerSt (VIP) Jan 2 2022 1:39PM Try playing without the rating on there. You can play games unrated, so it really doesn't matter. If someone wants to play and is 'fearful' of their artificial ratings going down, they should not hesitate to play an unrated game. Posted by ImDerc (VIP) Jan 6 2022 9:58AM Imagine there's no ratings, it's easy if you try. A GC world where if you want to play; anyone onsite would be up for a game because it's a fun game to play regardless if you win or lose. |
