Has SSDF ever considered switching to use Remi's BayesElo?

Post by Dave Gomboc »

I think it's clear that BayesElo assigns appropriate ratings in a considerably more reliable and theoretically justified manner than prior described schemes. AFAIK SSDF tracks how many wins, draws, and losses each match contestant achieves against each alternative match contestant, so it shouldn't be difficult to establish ratings with BayesElo.

I suppose it's possible that SSDF has already switched, but I don't recall reading about it if they did.
