add ppg to leaderboard?

Ryan, im enjoying clicking into others' stats pages to see what their ppgs are. would it be ok to add ppg to the leaderboard (not a separately-ordered list, but just an extra number next to the top 25's names), or would that make the leaderboard too crowded? i would really enjoy seeing top 25 ppgs all on the same page. (bragging rights, ofc).

I would definitely like to see that, too.

ppg would be more informative if it also included the average table level played at, which could be computed just as easily.

Ryan, I assume the PPG is just for the current month. Is that correct?

How about Top 25 in depth. Like the pre-January leaderboard page.

Ryan:

On the subject of stats: also, explain the ones we have. How is the percent of dom calculated that shows up in the stats for each game?

Points per root game is probably a more meaningful stat that points per game.

When skrumgaer posted the TAPL ranks of the top5 this month, I figured hey why always ask skrumgaer to do this for me, I could do it myself instead of always being so lazy.

so I did a few myself but it bothered me that a place % of 26 24 18 12 8 6 6 gives same TAPL (if same number of games played) as a player with 12 18 6 6 8 24 26 1st -> 7th.

I think TAPL can be modified a bit to get a good measure of kdice skill (TOKS score?). I am still playing with the formula to give the accurate weight for the difference from 14% for every place.

The idea is to get more than 14% for places 1->4 and get a lower % than 14% for places 5 to 7. A 20% for 1st and 18% for 2nd shows more skill than 18% 20% so I tried incorporating that by multiplying with factors of 4/3/2/1/-2/-3/-4

So the formula looks something like this (it's looks a bit different in excel form but this is a more simple representation)

(4*(D1)^2)+(3*(D2)^2)+(2*(D3)^2)+(1*(D4)^2)+(2*(D5)^2)+(3*(D6)^2)+(4*(D7)^2)

DX being the difference with 14% you get for place X. For places 5 6 and 7 obviously it's a value below 14% that will give a positive contribution to the TOKS doesn't show here but there is in the actual excel formula.

Last month I had 18 24 26 8 6 6 12 which yielded into 1024 TOKS. I had about 275 PPG last month and I think the best way to get a good measure of a players kdice skill, both factors (PPG and this TOKS 1-7 place profile) need about 50% weight. So right now I would propose PPG +(TOKS/4)

this is probably so obvious but what is ppg?

is it points per game as that is only acrynm i can think of
