Flix didn't get 78% at his current BR level. He did it throughout his Black Box career, which obviously started at the baseline and then moved upwards. And I doubt that many coaches have yet reached their full potential BR either - that probably takes a fair amount of matches. This is just guesswork, however, since we don't know how BR is calculated.

That is true. It would be worth looking at win% next to average TS difference to see how the two are correlated.

I've been told (by someone who reportedly heard it from Christer) that BR works the same as CR.

But as more coaches gain high BR is should be safe for you high BR (I assume) guys to return to [B] Wink


Unfortunately this does not work as well as it could, since the scheduler does not consider an even match against a close BR opponent intrinsically better that an uneven match against a wildly different BR opponent. Ideally we would want a scheduler where matches that are close in both TS and BR are preferred to everything else.

I think there's very few cases of consistent -10 to -15TS matches. Almost all reported cases of TS-disadvantage I've looked at have averaged out to less than 5TS.


On my last seven matches, I've clocked in at -14, -12, -6, -8, -7, -8, -14 (all counting handicaps). So that's a -10 average lately.

But if I look at your last 10 matches, which is the sample I've been using for other reported cases, I get an average of -8.8TS and +0.5 handis, which is -6.3TS total. EDIT: which is more than 5TS. Thanks for raising.

-19/1 vs easilyamused W
7/-3 W
-22/3 W
2/-2 W
-11/1 L
-32/4 W
-4/-2 W
8/0 W
-6/0 D
-11/3 W vs hermano_p
