Upgrade to Dominance

I'm happy with the dominance calculation for the most part. However, it seems to work best for the top 4 players in a game.

The biggest problem I've seen is the uncertainty of score for 5th 6th and 7th place. So I've thought of a simple solution and what to know your thoughts.

Currently the first round is not counted towards dominance since it is so chaotic. I'd like to make this 5 rounds of uncounted dominance. And if you go out in the first 5 rounds then your dominance is counted as the lowest to the remaining players.

This might sound like a hash penalty but I think the starting of the game is a bit too chaotic to point a real value on dominance. And it is why I think the last 3 places rating adjustments are not very stable.

Thoughts? I'd like to put this in tonight if there aren't any objections.

Ebrake, the problem with scoring without a rating is that you could just sit on the lower tables winning points. There would be no incentive to play better players. Its really great that ELO makes better players play together.

Also the new Rank is an ever increasing score based on maintaining high rating.

right on, was just trying to think outside the box. Sounds like you have already been around the box and more.
