zachpuzzle: If you're checking results multiple times while a test is running (i.e. after you've played), those are the players that have played since the last time you checked. I don't think that orange ever shows up after a test is over.

MellowMelon is right. It was not explained anywhere in the forum, and was left as 'another puzzle' for players to figure out.
The colors don't appear after the test is over.

There are few swaps at the top. janoslaw and motris swap top 2 positions. Also Kota and TiiT swap 5th and 6th positions.

No changes in top 5. But lots of swaps after that.

With just one week till next Sudoku test and most of us busy with our Sudoku championship, ratings will not be updated after SudoClones.
Once Copy Paste is over, ratings will be updated.

Hi nikaash,

Be careful to distinguish between Monthly sudoku tests and Beginners' contests. As far, you have participated in two Beginner's contests, which results are not merged into a cumulative rating. Only Monthly tests' results do, and since you scored 0 in the only one you attempted, I am afraid you will have to score at least 1 point in the next one if you want to appear in the ratings. Once done, this is the page where you will be able to compare yourself with hundreds of players. Or you could also click on your name to see the details of your past performances; there will be a link to the sudoku ratings page (but, again, only once you have scored at least 1 point on a Monthly test).

It seems unfair that Rohan's rating should have fallen by 2 points because he was unable to compete in his own contest. Is there a way of ensuring that the puzzle setter's rating is unchanged?

LMI Sudoku ratings

2. Jan Mrozowski

LMI ratings are so realistic and close to WSC results

Are monthly LMI Beginner tests included in the ratings?
It seems all tests other than monthly LMI beginner tests and some exceptions like "Di..." are included in Ratings i.e. either LMI Puzzle ratings or LMI sudoku ratings, but the LMI Beginner tests are not included in any ratings. Is it on purpose or I have mistaken ?

Beginners' contests are not included in Ratings. Di... was an annual contest. By default, annual contests are not included in ratings.
In summary, tests under this sub-forum are the ones which are included in ratings.

Is it possible to have a link to the 'Rating calculations pdf' on the Ratings page? I was trying to remember how ratings worked, and it took me a time to find it in this forum.
