2009 USCL Inaugural Raring List

Welcome to the (unofficial) USCL Ratings List of 2009! I am pleased to provide this service again to all the USCL fans out there.

The details of the calculations of this rating system have been described elsewhere, but to summarize... (a) it uses a modified Glicko system; (b) there are different scores for a draw if your team won or lost; (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.

Here is the initial list for 2009 - there are so few names on the list, because there are fewer players active in 2009 (so far).
