This was my thinking:
4 Different types of players:
1. Current PDGA members (start from current PDGA rating)
2. Non-current PDGA members who played last year (start from final 07-08 TDG rating)
3. Non-current PDGA members with guestimated PDGA (start from that rating)
4. Non-current PDGA members without ratings (get rating shot at Pier)
My formulas:
1. [(PDGA player rating x 2) + Pier round rating] / 3 = New TDG rating
Note: if 2 rounds played at Pier Prelims 2nd round is also used - [(PDGA player rating x 2) + Pier 1st round + Pier 2nd round] / 4 = New TDG rating
2. (07-08 TDG player rating + Pier round rating) / 2 = New TDG rating
Note: if 2 rounds played at Pier Prelims 2nd round is also used - (07-08 TDG player rating + Pier 1st round + Pier 2nd round] / 3 = New TDG rating
3. (Guessed player rating + Pier round rating) / 2 = New TDG rating
Note: if 2 rounds played at Pier Prelims 2nd round is also used - (Guessed player rating + Pier 1st round + Pier 2nd round] / 3 = New TDG rating
4. Ave rating of rounds played at Pier Prelims.
So if we went with the Fo Shizzel suggestion only player types 1 & 2 would be effected.
I could see something like #1 (PDGA player rating x 4) & #2 (PDGA player rating x 3). I will run those numbers when I get back.
Unless Ma Schizell wants to run those numbers...
