Also, @Cynosure, it looks like Standard is just the weighted average of Bullet, Blitz, and Standard, and the pool ratings aren't part of the weighted average, but are counted as whichever of Bullet, Blitz, and Standard they would fall in.
I've checked a couple players' pages before and after 1 0 games, and both their 1 0 pool and Bullet game counts incremented by 1.
So avoiding the pools wouldn't really help, as it turns out, but sticking to your strongest time control certainly would.
Now that I realize it's a weighted average, I agree that it doesn't make so much sense. Either just removing it, and letting Bullet, Blitz, and Classical speak for themselves or changing it to behave like Global did would make the most sense to me.
