This is David 'misleading high rating' Paulowich again. Trying to kill two birds with one stone, I offer the Weighted Game Courier Rating (WGCR) equal to the average of 3 numbers: 1500, the player's GCR for all games, and the player's GCR computed for games played in the last 365 days. While leaving the original (highly volatile ) GCR intact for internal use, the WGCR can be used on the web page to provide a rating with more recent games 'counting double'. My Canadian rating has bounced around 1800 in recent years, so I certainly do not feel constrained by ratings restricted to a 500 to 2500 range.
