Golf, Chess correllation
Sort:
Its sounds like a good idea what your trying to do Thompson but i have no clue about golf at all! Any golfers got any inputt on this?
I'll take a mulligan.
lets say our tournament (par for the course) is 72.
2000 rating are scratch golfers (pros). --- par 72 or less
1801 - 1999 ---------- 73 - 80
1700 - 1800 --------- 81 - 90
1600 - 1799 ------------ 91 - 100
1500 - 1600 ----------- 101 - 115
0000 - 1499 ------------ 115 - into oblivion
U get the picture . These #'s are unrealistic, ( then again my golf scores are all over the place too) like u said we'll need an algorythm man involved. also no mulligans.......
You get booted IF:
1. you dont start on time.
2. not moving within time parameters.
3. going on vacation.
4. beating a person with a higher rating than you
5.looking at a book or computer
6."THINKING" about looking at a book or computer
7. asking for help
8. going to other sites for game info etc.
9. the captain is always right
10. "IF" the captain is wrong refer to rule #9
11............if your not satisfied with anything!
I'm happy to say, there is some good news we wont have to negotiate wind or water. have a pleasant tourny.
I was just wondering how the rating systems of golf and chess compare to one another. I have put down some rough coordinates for a graph of the two rating systems
hcp, elo
-8 ~2800 Tiger, Anand
-7 2700
0 2000
10 1700
20 1400
28 1200
Too Rubbish to get a handicap <800
I'm not quite sure of where exactly some of the points should be, but it is quite clear it is probably a logarithmic scale. Feel free to point out where you think the equivalent rating points should be.
