You too lost track of the issue, because this was never a matter of comparing probabilities... it's all about results, and draw is a subjective result. By the way let me tell you that I don't give a damn about ratings, because i play for sheer fun. My humble comments were about a ruie that I didn´t know had those terms, therefore surprised me, and that accidently I disagree with. For me any game were people are the direct contenders, should be rated only on wins and defeats, that means something, that is objective, that represents the good and bad decisions of the players... you have crossroads where you had to decide, and you took a direction that led you somewhere, be a good or bad destination (wiin or defeat), while a draw is the return to the starting point, as if both players didn't leave at all. So why should one benefit from the other!?... Well... it's just my opinion, and an issue that died for me, because what really matters is the competition itself not the "politics" involved.
argh i took a wrong direction that led me to lose track of the issue:p
with the rating involved it doenst only look at the competition itself, but allso the history of competitions played by both players in the past. (reason why u got to the rating your at).
for someone with a really low rating its very good if he/she can take a draw from a player with a high rating, therefor gets rewarded with points, played with the high rating that loses gets punished, cuz he done bad.
Think of it like golf handicapping or track & field races, the idea is that you are really playing against your own rating, and if you play someone with a higher or lower rating a handicap loading is applied. So if you play better than your rating you will get a reward, if you play worse than your rating you will be punished.
If you play a tournament and you draw you get 1 point as does your opponent. This is like football or any other competetive game.
There is a world ranking in foorball also and nations get points for winning and for drawing higher rated opponents... and lose points for losing or drawing lower rated opponents.
It's just not the same playing tournaments or comparing peole (teams) that didn't play each other.
