Dispute Scout Calculations

This is an article with work in progress, and is subject to updates at any given time.

The rating changes for Scouts depend on their RatingDeviation (RD). Here's a general overview of how the reward ratio works:

For the scout who filed the dispute:

+1x if successful, maximum +20 rating points
-1x if failed, maximum -20 rating points

For the scout who was disputed:

CopyNo change if they won the dispute
-2x if they lost, maximum -40 rating points

The exact amount of rating change is difficult to determine due to variations in RD. However, the system aims to set back the rating of a Scout who lost a dispute by a certain amount below their current RD. This ensures that it will take significantly more wins for them to return to their previous rating. The rationale is that if a Scout is found to have cheated or made a significant error, they need to demonstrate consistent good performance to regain trust.

Note: The 'x' in the formulas represents a variable factor that is influenced by the Scout's current RD and other potential factors in the rating system.
