There is an excellent spreadsheet you can download in the grading area that will do all the calculations for you. If you download this, enter all your results to date then you can then start entering dummy results to see what the impact on your grading will be. Heather's answers to Daniel's question are excellent but I'm sure the pedants or stochastically challenged will come up with all sorts of weird scenarios. The spreadsheet let's you play around.

Simple rule is win and your grading goes up, draw and it goes up if your opponent is higher graded, down if he/she is lower graded, lose and it goes down - although there are exceptions!!!

... count as a vote for the new board, in an indirect way. I put a lot more thought into them than I would have on the old board, as I knew they'd never drop off the bottom and could just be referred to in the future.

The same applies if the same people bring up the same old things on other subjects - they can just be given a link to a previous discussion as a response.

I think I've now moved from a "don't care" to a "yes" to the new board.
