Barrage ratings question

[samuel]

Can someone explain to me why the barrage WSC rankings have another column titled 'Rating 2' - with the rating being the same or 1 or 2 points different to the first rating for each player? What is the purpose of this rating 2?

thanks!

Sure, we can play some time, give me a shout! Im only the WSC champ though, no matter how many I win my Klier ranking doesn't move. Which I feel is a bit unfair as Isee Rapunzal has jumped ahead of me by winning only 8 games against a low ranked player. I've been winning scores of games and haven't budged for ages. The Klier ranking in barrage seems unfair as its all time, not year to year, so Im still being punished for the early games ages ago of which I lost many. The only way to go top would be to defeat Jugador_S several times in a row, but that is unlikely as two similarly matched barrage players should find they both win their share of games, you won't get a situation where one player wins all of them. Also because he isn't online much, and he has a top ranking despite playing less than 30 games.

Can someone explain why Rapunzel's rating has gone up to 1512 in barrage, when he hasn't played anymore games since I pointed out he moved to 1509 by beating a 1200 player a few times? So not only has he gained points for beating a 1200 player, he's now had his rating adjusted up for doing nothing. Meanwhile I remain on the same old rating despite continually beating 1200 players. Whats going on?
