Scoring & ranking systems Posted by roofman (VIP) Apr 29 2007 10:16AM As a matter of interest, is the scoring system used here a universal way of doing it? It seems to me that the only use the score next the name is, is in showing if someone is having a good run or bad run. It doesnt matter to me one jot if I play someone with a rank of 1700 or 1300. Would'nt it be better to show a calculation showing how many games a player has had divided by the amount they have won? For instance if someone had played 160 games and won 85 of them, they would have a rank of 1.8 - the lowest number being the better rank. If it was done over say the last 500 games a player had played, it would also show that players current skill level. It would be a far better indication of the opponents prowess. Any thoughts anyone? Roofman Rating & Ranking Posted by webmaster (moderator) Apr 29 2007 10:45AM ELO rating system is used here. Professor ELO's rating is a significant improvement over a simple win/loss ratio. In addition to win/loss, rating takes into account the initial ratings (strength) of both players, thereby distinguishing the 'quality' of a win/loss. For example, a win of a lower-rated player against a higher ranking player will get a greater boost in rating (and it should) than in a simple win/loss system. To judge the strength of a Ticket player, it is certainly worthwile to look at this player's wins versus losses in mini-tourneys (versus free games). If a percentage of wins is more meaningful to you, it is a matter of simple calculation based on available information: <B><i>Wins divided by Total Number of Games multiplied by 100%</I></B> |
