"But how much does the (random) order of entry by round affect the final result?

My hope is that you get the same answer every time. (Though it might take some tinkering with the rate of convergence or number of times through the simulation to make sure it works.)"

The way you suggested doing it I think one ends up higher going L L L W W W W than W W W W L L L

Instead of doing it round by round you should look at the entire tournament results at once. Determine the expected number of wins and base the rating change on that. Then repeat with the smaller convergence rates.
