First glances suggest that the bulk of the juniors are still at stratospheric levels. The players who were unrated and had their new rating cocked-up seem to have been toned down a little. I am confident others will analyse the latest attempt to death! I wonder if it was done properly or the craziest errors dealt with on an individual basis to reduce the embarrassment?

I am confident that the changes (and the previous version) all have a sound basis both statistically and mathematically. Otherwise, they would not have been published would they?

Carl, Does the download reflect the latest tranche of bodging?
