scoring system / statistics

hi curling-software-developers,
after 2nd week playing >> I'm just nearer "die" than "fly" but great compliment to you for realizing this funny game. Its like a hard drug and steal me many sleep!

Now my questions:
I try to understand /look through the point-scoring system (???) - with yet no access.
The summary +/-pointdifferece must be a function of
1. lower/even/higher rank of opponent player
2. number of ends playing
3. full frame = 10 ends finishing
4. if player goes out after finishing end/frame
5. if oppenent player breaks out just during an end
   (the "bad"-ones)
and so on.

Please can you short explain me, how the pointstatistic works !

thx in front / & many greatings from a

FAN

!!!

Thanks for that link. Interesting.

Sadly this system does not work well enough for curling, imho. It's is way to easy to accumulate a big rate by solely playing players rated 0 or somewhat above 0. This results in crown holders often not being the best players around. I held the crown for a while (by playing equally rated opponents) and I have no problem giving it up. Yet it does aggrevate me to see players never playing any of the brown, yellow, blue or green players. Be my guest to take my crown - but then you should bloody be able to beat the former crown holder!
