Because of his tweak, the average rating does not inflate of deflate. This shows that the David Richards cure for the ACF Glicko system has merrit. Those dispicables over at Chess Chat will not debate the NSWJCL case because they know that it demolishes 90% of their arguments against the "junior bonus."

Wow, I knew very little of that, in spite of having read most rating threads since 2003 (at least).
I don't think you have posted it before.

I can't recall Bill commenting on the comparison of the official system to the home-grown NSWJCL procedure.
I can't recall a NSWJCL post.

So, is the NSWJCL system better? It is certainly cheaper; for them.
