Rating Rules
The goal of the PerGioco Rating ("PGR") is to create a meta-rating that can stimulate curiosity towards new games, disseminating and enhancing the world of abstract games. It does not intend in any way to replace the ratings already in use by the main abstract-game organizations.
The PGR is calculated starting from 1 October 2021.
The PGR is calculated starting from 1 October 2021.
Participation in PGMasters stages called "PerGioco Masters" allows you to get a PGR for each game.
To participate in the stages and obtain the PGR is necessary to register by clicking on "Registration".
To participate in the stages, it is also necessary to have a free account on the platforms used (Boardgamearena.com, Brainking.com, Playstrategy.org, Littlegolem.net, etc.).

The provisional score for new players for each game is 1000 points.
The score is updated at the end of each stage (or game day) using the spreadsheet which can be downloaded on the website. The parameters used are the following: development coefficient k = 20; classic rounding (three decimal places). Players with fewer than twenty matches in the single game assume an "unstable" score. Players who have not played valid matches in the current and previous year in the single game are excluded from the ranking.
The overall PGR is given by the average of the active PGRs for each game, rounded up to the next lower unit.

The overall PGR is given by the average of the active PGRs for each game, rounded up to the next lower unit.
In stages with the Italian-Swiss system, those who do not appear at the first match do not enter the ranking and do not suffer any penalties in the PGR. Those who do not show up for a match after the first, will instead suffer a penalty (for the PGR that match is considered a defeat, but not the following ones).
The games won by the absence or abandonment of the opponent are considered for the PGR as victories. Games won for BYE are not counted as valid games for the PGR.
The games won by the absence or abandonment of the opponent are considered for the PGR as victories. Games won for BYE are not counted as valid games for the PGR.
Active PGRs are those obtained with games played in the current and previous years.
For example: for the 2024 ranking, the PGR obtained with games played in 2023 and 2024 are taken into account. If the player played for the last time in 2022, the PGR becomes "inactive" and is not considered for the 2024 rankings of PerGioco Masters and PerGioco Rating.

The Red Ranking takes into account the best average of active PGRs in individual games. The scores obtained with at least ten active PGRs obtained are considered as a priority.
If the average rating is equal, the highest number of active PGRs obtained is taken into consideration; in the event of a further tie, the highest number of games played is taken into consideration.
The ranking becomes final on December 31 of each year.
If the average rating is equal, the highest number of active PGRs obtained is taken into consideration; in the event of a further tie, the highest number of games played is taken into consideration.

The ranking becomes final on December 31 of each year.
