Much smaller pool, and not that many games being played.
That is probable the reason:- not many games being played,
especially as everyone starts at 1200. Some players are very active in 960, but not many. I was wondering whether it had something to do with the strength of the players who play 960, but that would not account for the overall depreciation in rating.
On average 960 ratings are 300 points below players standard rating. Given the rating pools are different, 300 points is huge difference. Why should one pool of players have ratings so far below. Afterall, the same rating system is used.
