The ladder calculation is the same as the ratings calculation, but with the following differences:

  1. Ladder rating is reset to 1500 for all members at the start of the season.

  2. Ladder rating change is not diminished for players with more experience, i.e. all ladder rating changes are calculated as if both players have an experience of 0.

  3. Ladder rating calculations are based on the players' ladder rating, not their normal rating.

  4. Tournament and league matches do not count towards the ladder.

Policy

​

The results of all Fulham Backgammon Club tournament matches are recorded and contribute to individual players’ UKBGF ratings by default. Any unfinished, forfeited and cancelled matches are not eligible.

Finalists are permitted to agree a reduction in match length but this must be accurately reported. The tournament director may also impose a reduction in match length.

A match in which penalty points have been awarded will be rated unless it becomes a walkover. Settled matches, unfinished matches, walkovers and friendlies will not be rated. The term ‘friendlies’ includes any match which is not part of the scheduled tournament programme, even if it is played during a club meeting.
