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. |

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. |

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 |
