K is larger when a player is fairly new
or has not been rated recently.
(In ASPA ratings the multiplier K is 20
for established players
but larger for provisional players.)

See WESPA
Rating change = K*(wins - expected wins)
K is larger when a player is fairly new
or has not been rated recently.
(In ASPA ratings the multiplier K is 20
for established players
but larger for provisional players.)
