Does deviation decay passively? #13

Closed Tarquinous closed 2 years ago

Tarquinous commented 2 years ago

In a recent discussion someone raised that their rating deviation across the span of 3 days appeared to become more uncertain, despite no additional games being played. This raised the question if there is deviation decay, which isn't mentioned anywhere on the website.

Yes, this is a feature of the glicko rating system used. I'll add a FAQ entry for it.
