Team B lost 25 rating, but Team A gained 24. I know we cannot split 1, but why not assign the remainder either randomly, to the lowest rated or highest rated? If there was say a remainder of 2 and a team of 3, rules would apply until the remainder is used up.

I think this edge case was deemed rare enough that it was accepted. I'd have no problems assigning it to those on a team with the lowest ratings though.

I would be fine with this. Is it possible to query the database to see how many ratings were lost, and how many were assigned to see how pervasive it is?

We could query the database for this and find out, though it'd be a costly query since we don't have good infrastructure to check.

Yeah, this is a recurring problem. We definitely need a solution for it, although I don't know if the one suggested is fair to both players.

Maybe if the other team player was compensated with tokens? Or the rating system could split the last rating into halves if possible.

Alternative: instead of giving one person more than the next, we could make one person lose one rating less, so that the rating can always be evenly split.
