In Response To: Elo (Ken Larsen)

As far as I can observe, the Danish rating system and a couple of others which are similar work well in that the rating system as a whole is quite "fair". I think it will work well in the live us backgammon scene as well, and think it should be implemented on all levels (local and regional etc). Online, the rating system may not work as well because there will be too many players who don't have a "correct" rating.
