... a bit more maths and less politics ...
But because Jones was more like 2000 and only fought against 500s then he lost
$r_after=$r_before* (1-0.5*(1-$r_opp/$r_before}/0.5));
= 2000* (1 - 0.5*(1 - 0.25/0.5) )
= 2000* (1 - 0.5*(1 - 0.5) )
= 2000* (1- 0.5*(0.5))
= 2000 * (1-0.25)
= 2000 * (0.75)
= 1500
For defeating a best opponent of only 25% of his rating in the relevant time period?
Still holding a level of 300% of his best defeated opponent in the relevant time period?

Thanks for picking up the mistake.
Would you mind explaining the 650 pts #8 thru #12 adaption bit. I looked at the divisional ratings and can't see any weight division where this is true. Is this the sum of all #8's and #12's across all divisions?
And a question in general. At which point does a fighter's rating go down? I believe you work the database from the first bout to the last. Do you reduce the fighter on the day of his bout e.g. here, on the day he fought Clinton Woods, or do you reduce it prior to the bout?
