I brought the accuracy on the current data up to almost 75% by changing the order in which the players are sorted. They are now ordered by how many games they have played. The most accurate sequence of calculations is the one that begins with the players who have played the most games. Although including the reverse sequence of calculations has reduced the overall accuracy score, it has also corrected one error I spotted in the first series of calculations. Although the accuracy rate is an important measure, it is not the only way to assess accuracy, and the data I have used it on is not enough to draw any firm conclusions. I remain convinced that using two sequences of calculations in opposite orders is overall better than using only one.
