Your formula are correct for unrated players but do you have the correct formula to calculate performans for rated players. First I used this approx: score=points/games average=average of opponents rating. perf=(average-400*log10((1.0-score)/score) This gives maybe correct performance rating around 50% score but as soon as you go a bit away the error get bigger. Then I tried from Excel with this: perf=average+NORMSINV(score)*ROT(2)*200 This gives a much better result and the error is only when the score get close to 100% (or 0%) It kind of hard for me to remember all these math, it have been 26 years since I left the school so I'm luck if I even remember correct the names like standard deviation, standard distribution etc. so if you or other have a table with this calculated out with 3 decimals (0.001, 0.002 ...) for the score it would have been nice. I will create this table myself with the help of the table for 2 decimals (from Fide or elsewhere) and use the excel formula to find the in between numbers. What the usage? I have written a program to post results/tables to the internet (add result plus one click and it on the net) that we have been using in tournaments for live coverage the last 3-4 years. I use the formula with log10 now, but someone may check the program with tournamentresults found at Twic etc. and see that the performance isn't calculated correct. So instead of calculate the result I will change it to look up the numbers from a table Odd Gunnar
