Re: FFR Suggestions
Skill ratings are a competitive guideline, not an analytic measurement that should be taken in complete stride with divisional placement. Nothing is going to beat manual combing through level ranks, especially with regards to this system that doesn't (correctly) value scores that are not AAAs.
This is the inherent problem with division placements and why I've been an advocate of not doing divisional placements in tournament anywhere: make one shift and it throws the rest out of balance. If you make a change to one group, you affect every other group with a trickle down effect that simply causes complaints everywhere.
One way to potentially resolve divisional issues could be to add a provisional division where players are simply unranked, and then scale all divisions upward slightly using the provisional/D1 borderline as a shifting metric. I'll delve into this later when I get out of work.
