How did I manipulate the results from the tournament? I took the participants, averaged their elo to be around 2430, so I rounded down to 2400. Then I input the pgn file into elostat 1.3, and poof.. Diep's TPR was 2397. That ranked 11th in the tournament. It may have finished 7th, but based on the performance of it's opposition, and where it placed, the performance dropped. It is really that hard to understand? I could use a base elo of 2500, and guess what... Diep would _still_ have a TPR in 11th place. Would you like me to adjust it so that Diep is slightly under 2500 so you can sleep at night? Would you honestly figure the average elo for the participants to be at 2500? Of course not. It is definately closer to 2400. I am not arguing where it finished in the actual tournament. It indeed finished 7th. It's _performance_ was 2397. That is something I can not manipulate. 2 + 2 does not equal 5. Atleast in my world it doesn't. Peter
