Ratings StructureAll these ratings evaluate every day all bouts in the database in chronological sequence. A higher rated boxer should be expected to defeat a lower rated boxer with increasing probability by increasing rating difference. Current Ratings- Points are redistributed by every bout. No points come in or get out of the system by this basic rating process
- But points get out of the system by career end, by point reductions due to inactivity or missing opponent quality
- So additional points must be fed into the system
- - 0.01 points, when a boxer wins a bout
- - 0.1 points, when a boxer defeats an opponent, who already won a bout within 18 months
- - 1 point, when a boxer defeats an opponent, who already won a bout against a winning opponent within 18 months
- - when defeating an opponent within the top 15 percent of all active boxers, who already defeated an opponent within the top 15 percent of all active boxers
- -- 8 points at least
- -- as much points as the defeated opponent had before the bout
- -- 40 points at most
- -- with weight = 1, when the opponent had no loss after his top win, with weight = 1/2 after 1 loss, with weight = 1/4 after 2 losses etc
- -- with weight = 1 within 18 months after the opponents top bout, with weight = 1/2 thereafter and decreasing by a factor of 1/2 per another 18 months
- - all with weight = cd * v; cd = clear decision factor and v = bout value
- Every boxer gets a first rating of 0 before his first bout.
- After every bout, the ratings of the two boxers involved are changed depending on the bout's official result (KO, TKO, RTD, UD, PTS, NWS, MD, SD, DQ, TD, DRAW).
- The value of a result varies between v=1 and v=0.
- The clear decision factor varies between cd=1 and cd=0.
- The winner cannot lose points for KO, TKO, RTD, DQ, TD and decisions on points with cd=1
- KO, TKO, RTD are rewarded with full value v=1, cd=1.
- NWS is rewarded with full value v=1 for 12 rounds boxed and more and a lower value related to the number of rounds boxed. Clear decision factor cd=1.
- UD, PTS, DQ, TD are rewarded with full value v=1 for 12 rounds boxed and more and a lower value related to the number of rounds boxed, clear decision factor cd=1. If the score cards are available, it may be less.
- MD, SD are rewarded with full value v=1 for 12 rounds boxed and more and a lower value related to the number of rounds boxed. Clear decision factor is limited to cd=0.5. If the score cards are available cd may be less.
- DRAW is rewarded with full value v=1 for 12 rounds boxed and more and a lower value related to the number of rounds boxed. Clear decision factor cd=0.
- If the score cards are available, the value rewarded is in direct proportion to the rounds boxed, with full value v=1 for 12 rounds boxed and more. The clear decision factor is in proportion to rounds boxed and the mean score difference per judge. cd=1 for a mean score difference per judge of 50% of the rounds boxed.
- All bouts are regarded to have the same weight independent of titles.
- The winner gets a certain part of the opponent's points and a certain part of the rating difference to the opponent's rating.
- For a DRAW the rating of the higher rated boxer is reduced by some part of the point difference; the rating of the lower rated boxer is enhanced by the same amount of points.
- The full relative point reward is 33%. It is in direct proportion to the pre-bout rating of the defeated opponent.
- The rating of a boxer is reduced, if he didn't box an opponent with a rating of at least 50% of his own rating points within 18 months.
- The rating of a boxer is reduced by up to 50% in proportion to the difference of 2 times the rating points of his best opponent in this time period minus his own rating
- The reduction is in proportion to the time the requirement was missed.
- The rating of a boxer is reduced by 50% for every time period of inactivity of 18 months - and to even less in proportion to a longer time period of inactivity
- The pre-bout rating of a successfully debuting boxer is set to 25% of his opponents pre-bout rating.
- The rating points are in relation to a weight division. The rating points are converted with the cube of the upper weight limit ratio of the old and new weight division.
- The winner is always rated higher than the loser. the minimum margin is: mean pre-bout ratings of both r_m = (r_a + r_b)/2; r_new_winner = r_m + earn_f*v*cd/4; r_new_loser= r_m - earn_f*v*cd/4
Formula If a boxer with a rating of r_a before the fight defeats a boxer b with a rating of r_b before the fight with result of value v, clear decision factor cd, the new regular ratings r_a_new and r_b_new after a fight are: - earn = 1/3 * v * (r_b*cd + (r_b-r_a)/(1+2*cd));
- r_a_new = r_a + earn_a
- r_b_new = r_b - earn_b
The winner gets additional points. Rating reduction caused by missing opponent quality: career_top_rating = highest career rating adapted to bout division days = days between bout with best opponent before and bout with best opponent after reduction - r_red-career_top_rating/10 = (r_old-career_top_rating/10) * (1 - 0.5*(1 - 2*best_opp/r_old))**(days/(365.24*1.5))
