Crossville TN-- USCF announced today that the existing Elo system will be modified later this year. Ratings supervisor Walter Brown explained, "There seems to be a collection of players floored with 100 ratings, with no way to separate them. Some of these players are so bad that you can actually lose playing strength by watching their games." In the new system, a player losing to a 100 rated contestant would get a performance rating of -300 for that game. It is the same 400 points lower than the opponent as currently exists in the system, just with negative numbers. Any player playing a negative rating player will lose rating points even if they will the game. Any readers gullible to believe this by this point will also lose rating points.
