This was previously upped from 30 to 50 in 2013 https://ratings.icu.ie/articles/18 However 50 was not enough to converge for the Ulster leagues rounds 7-13, 2019. 200 iterations seems to work instead. When it was bumped before, Mark decided to treat this as a new version of the rating system (Version 1.3). I don't think that is necessary here: it's an implementation detail and all previous results would be rated the same way with 200 iterations as with 50.
