UKBGF maintains national ratings on its website. Your main rating never resets and is based on all UKBGF matches you’ve played anwhere. You can view the National Ratings or the Ealing ratings (which list anyone who’s played at BGiE recently, but covering all of their matches played anywhere). They also maintain an Ealing Ladder, which only shows matches played at BGiE, and which resets each January.
1. Number of wins.
2. Tie-break between people with the same number of wins. Say out of a group, 4 players have all won 3 matches. For each of those players Hub looks at how many of their wins were against one of the other 3 – the more such wins the higher your tie-break score. This isn’t a straight head-to-head result – you might have beaten someone who still ends up higher in the tie-break than you.
3. Buchholz score – a sort-of measure of how good your opponents were. You add up all the wins of all your opponents, then subtract the wins of your highest and your lowest scoring opponents. That’s your Buchholz score – the higher the better.
4. Points difference – like goal difference, your net score of points for all your matches.
