I actually considered making bayeselo the main page and removing the other stuff. But I think it would be annoying to get a certain rating and then without playing any games come back a week later and the rating has changed. I think incremental ratings are best and what we are doing here is making it a lot more stable. It will take some time for the bots to re-sync, but that's ok. As it turns out Bayeselo rating seem to be higher so no bot will be rewarded for not playing. I think the rating pool in general has been deflating so this will keep it stable.
