USCL Rating List - 2009 Post-Quarterfinals

Here is the unofficial USCL Rating List, for the post-quarterfinal matches. Gulko now tops the list, after Nakamura's loss.

As a reminder, here are the details of how the list is calculated. The details were described elsewhere, but here's a summary... (a) it uses a modified Glicko system; (b) there are different scores for a draw if your team won or lost (draw counts as 2/3 if your team won); (c) it accounts for color in your score expectancy; (d) uncertainty scores are automatically raised at the beginning of a season; (e) initial rating assignment depends on the board that you played; (f) all games are given equal weight (regular season, playoffs, tiebreakers).

That being said, the same conditions apply to each published list. First, the player must have played at least three lifetime games in the USCL, and second, the player must be active in the year the list is published.
