Default Ozeform ratings

Have I gone blind or have the Ozeform ratings really gone missing.?!
Can't find any notification about this on the site.

Actually it's true Imagele - they have taken them off. My mail is that it's for good, too.

Apparently though, expert form are going to be unveiling ratings pretty soon. A very comprehensive service apparently.

Thanks Duritz.
I was about to post again out of frustration.
Two emails to Ozeform have not attracted the courtesy of a response.
Good news about ******************** though. I've often thought that the only thing missing from that service was a rating figure.
It seems the ozeform ratings were basically flawed in that they assumed a base rating of 52kg.
This became obvious when looking at the ridiculously high ratings given to winners of country highweights.

Arrogant too I would have thought.
It does not seem that anyone was notified of this change.
They still are not answering emails.

Yep Imagele,

Those ratings could not possibly have been the real deal that Mark actually uses, but just some basic base (can you say that?).
I found many areas where they were flawed, it's only when one starts to apply the ratings and run them over data, that the flaws become glaringly apparent.

They're not the real thing. The rating's he uses are "filtered" before they reach the final figure. They become an adjusted rating. One of the adjustments adjusts for the problem Imagele alluded to. This might be wrong to say on a site like this, but I know some of the people involved at ********************, and the product they are about to unveil is apparently awesome. The ratings are on the same scale as Timeform, will make Mark Read's old ratings look like dinosaurs.
