This has been covered and I have read the posts but I still cannot come up with my current rating using the rated rounds used. I only have seven rounds and they are (from most recent going backwards in time): 891, 946, 943, 881, 974, 997, and 951. The first four numbers are from one tournament and the last three from another. My current rating is 945. I have tried adding double weight to my latest round rating (891), to the two latest round ratings (891 & 946) and to the best round rating of the last tournament (946) and I still cannot get 945 from any of those combinations. I've also used a spreadsheet someone posted a while back and that didn't give me 945 either. Can someone out there show me, using my seven rated rounds, how to get 945?

one of the best message boards names ever! :)

hey, i used to be able to calc mine 100% accurate. not anymore though. mine's off by a couple points also. something seems to have changed, but i dont know for sure.

Must be a $20,000 "formula" that only one person knows.

Thanks.
I hate to bother anyone about this because my rating isn't all that important between the PDGA posting dates but it's just killing me that I can't figure it out myself. Poor me, right?

the greatest trick you can pull is convincing yourself that your rating doesnt exist!?!

now dats funny! :)

Nice! :)

I checked with Roger and the reason your rating seems higher than it should is the three oldest rounds were on a 24-hole course and are weighted accordingly. No rounds get double weighted with fewer than 8 rounds. Here's the math:

RR H Weight
881 x 18 = 15858
943 x 18 = 16974
946 x 18 = 17028
891 x 18 = 16038
951 x 24 = 22824
997 x 24 = 23928
974 x 24 = 23376
SUM = 144 136026

136026 / 144 = 944.625

Thank you Chuck. That makes perfect sense.
