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.

Wouldn't it be possible to keep your theoretical 3 month ELO and just have it update daily, all at once, for the entire community?

Meh, why am I having this conversation...Ryan doesn't have the time to mess with scoring anymore.
