User Ratings and Review Quality


User Ratings


The User Rating is a weighted average of all the reviews given for a particular race.

Since User Ratings now play a huge role in the computation of the RRP Score, we will be judging the quality of every user rating. We want to ensure that our ratings are as accurate as possible, so more detailed ratings will count more toward the RRP Score than non-detailed ratings.

“Very Helpful” reviews will count 3 times toward the User Rating, “Helpful” reviews count 2 times toward the User Rating, and reviews that “Lack Details” counts only once toward the User Rating.
