The devs made a point to make the 20-80 scale this year specifically work with the 10 points = 1 standard deviation rule. You’re right, they specifically stayed away from that in the past, and even now it’s hard to do it exactly because ratings are not projected WAR, but this was a change in 25 compared to earlier versions.
