CALL FOR VOTE: Amendment to Motion 2012-S
NOTE: So we are all clear, the intent of the amendment is to prevent players with a rating above 2199 from receiving bonus points.
The amendment to 2012-S (Moved Egidijus Zeromskis, seconded Lyle Craver) is to remove all references to players rated over 2199.
Voting starts immediately with polling to end Thursday at the start of the voting period at 9 pm ET.
Here is the original motion (with the text to be removed in red):
Moved by Paul Leblanc
Seconded by Fred McKim
To replace the existing Bonus Point Formula (CFC Handbook Art. 714.d) with the following:
BONUS 1 = Rmax BONUS *a*Ke
BONUS 2 = b*RATING CHANGE BONUS*(Rnew – Rold – THRESHOLD)*Ke
TOTAL BONUS = BONUS 1 + BONUS 2
where:
a = 1 if the new rating is at an all time high, 0 otherwise;
b = 1 if Rnew > Rold + Threshold, 0 otherwise;
Threshold = RtgChangeThreshold*Ke*sqrt(n) where n is the number of games played; no bonus points are awarded if less than 4 games are played;
Ke is the ratio of the player's K factor to the K factor used for players rated under 2200; For the CFC rating system, K=32 for players under 2200 and K=16 for players at or over 2200;
Rnew is the post-event rating and Rold is the pre-event rating;
and RatingMaxBonus, RtgChangeBonus, and RtgChangeThreshold are constants with the following values:
RatingMaxBonus = 20; RtgChangeBonus = 1.75; RtgChangeThreshold = 13.
The numerical values in the bonus point equation may be adjusted from time to time by the Rating Auditor as deemed necessary and in consultation with the CFC Executive
