And fair enough, I see what you mean. Yes I do a single pass according to this site Rating system explained .

I can now see how you have been mislead LOL

. For an app to work with passes 2/3/4, you'd have to enter in all the other matches played at the tourney so it would become impractical to use as a tool. That's why I only support 1 pass.

Well you admitted that you were not aware of the USATT 4 pass system but want to fins a way to justify your league methoto tournamnet menthod.
USATT has refined the tournament rating system from 1994. While no rating system is perfect, USATT tournament ratings pricees been continuously refined & improed.

I am not blaming you. You were sort of mislead (by the League system). I feel bad for you.
BUt you should stop claiming that yout 1 pass league method is akmost as accurate as the 4 pass USATT syste,\m
That is crazy especially given that you have admitted it is impractical for you to develop, which I totally understand.

IMO therefore the right thing to do is admit your rating syatem is only good for league .

No shame in that .

Your claculator may still help in tournaments in a player gains or loses less tha 50 points as expplained in tournament processing webpage.
But final ratings for tournaments will not work accurately in more cases that not.

Sorry . Again I am not blaming you or trashing you. Just stating the facts & your unfortunate oversight,
And i do feel bad for you

USATT should probably combine above two pages into one but I doubt they will due to usual internal politics
Even long time USATT tournamnet & league players have this confusion.
So don't feel bad.

USATT website is to blame for two differnt misleading webpages at totally differnt tabs
Left hand does not know what right hand does LOL
I can understand if they were under same tab

LOL
USATT now has a separate tab for rankings to further muddy th issue
