Anyone wanna do an alternative skill ranking yearly competition?

using a slightly modified version of moondust's alternative skill ranking formula:
((games*PPG)/1000)(4(% 1sts) + 3(% 2nds) + 2(% 3rds) + 1(% 4ths) + 0(% 5ths) - 1(% 6ths) - 2(% 7ths))

Basically, this alternative ranking is a weighted average. In a sense, you get 4 points for every percentage point you have in first, 3 for second, 2 for third, 1 for fourth, none for fifth, and you lose 1 for 6th, and lose 2 for seventh. Then the sum of your points is multiplied by the points you earn at regular tables, and divided by a thousand. The difference between this formula and the original is division by 100000 overall instead of 10000 (because I convert the percentages to decimals), since regular table scores are much larger yearly than monthly. I might also use a different weighting... the current 4/3/2/1/0/-1/-2 I think doesn't take enough for seventh. I propose 5/3/1/0/-1/-2/-3, keeping in mind that bad starts often cause 7ths.

Would anyone be interested? I could do top 100 monthly if anyone would want to see that also.

"good kdicers (i.e. me, monte, etc..) get over 50% 1st-3rd"

Did you just suck monte's dick in a public forum?

I want points for kills. 50 or 100? More? This should be implemented in general, because it would stop players from leaving the three people with 1 stacks from living 10-20 rounds behind a person with 10 stacks that they flagged.

Points for kills is a great fucking idea.

dammit, i came up with that idea like 2 years ago, when people were talking about leaderboard changes. and i realized it would be genius to offer people points for kills. but i think Ryan himself said no for some reason. oh well. anyways, shouldve copywritted the idea, but too late now.

The TAPL and TAZD are designed to get people to play more games. Good percentages don't mean much if you have played only a few games, like a hitter who bats 1.000 in one game and quits for the season. So get out there and PLAY MORE GAMES!

It would be better if the TAZD encouraged you to play more games WELL.

A batting average of .005 over three thousand at-bats still sucks.

A 7th percentage of 40+% still sucks, regardless of how many games you play.

In fact, all those extra games just prove that you suck consistently...
