Just looking at your LP, your actual average is 43.5.   my first thought was that they rounded up on the rating page but not on the ranking page.

However, your WE average is actually 57.5.  So they rounded it up to 58 on the rating page but it's 59 on the ranking page.  So I'm mystified, unless the ratings are based on tenths.  Say, if Speiers WE was actually 63.4 and you had other players in the same boat???

I'm with al on this one - ratings are only shown as integers while there really is a 'true' value behind, it's possible there is a small logic error when displaying the values on certain pages.

Players ratings are rated in tenths. WIS says a players ratings start at 1 but I had a SG on a DII team that actually had a 0 lp rating and CS told me that it's measured in tenths.  So if  his lp was .4 it would be listed as 0 but if it was .5 it would be listed as 1.
