RATING OF PLAYERS

[Igor]

Seven Ladder seasons ended. They gave results, which can be counted and compared each other.
On this base I have made Rating of players.

Details of rating counting.
1. Rating is counted with base of 1 vs 1 games.
FFA and team games are also mean much, however in FFA games diplomacy can take much place, and in team games there is difficult to define a role of each player in the win of team.
2. Base of rating is seven Ladder seasons.
Tournaments will be counted as well as soon as they will be completed. Melee games don't let to count their stats, thus even if you played a lot of them these results couldn't be shown here.
3. All achievments are separated on three groups:
Champion of Ladder season or Winner of Tournament.
Best 3 of Ladder season or Best 4 in Tournament. 2nd place means the same as 3rd place.
Top 15 of Ladder season or Top 16 of Tournament (if tournament includes 32 or more players), 5-6th places mean the same as 14-15th places.
4. High achivements are compared first and if they are the same then time of lesser achievments comes. One title of Champion means more than several titles of Best 3 or Top15. If two players have the same number of titles of Best 3 then that one will be higher who has more titles of Top 15.
If all achievments, high and lesser, are the same then it's case to count time when these achievements were got, the later the better. If you got a title in 7th Ladder season it means more than the same title got in 1st Ladder season.
In case when all results and even time of getting them are the same then counted number of wins and losses in 1 vs 1 games. When all titles are the same and they got in the same Ladder seasons then that will be higher who has better difference between won and lost games, and if even this difference is the same for two or more players then only number of wins is counted.

Let's put a look on the rating.

Spelling of names is retained as owners wrote it.
Comments and suggestions to the method of calculation are welcome.

If you didn't find yourself in the rating it means that perhaps you are mostly interested of FFA games or of team games, or even plays mostly melee games. More activity in ladder 1vs1 games may bring you rank points.

Igor, I appreciate your work for this game. I have to play more, so I will also be on the list. Thanks.

Traditionally when a rating system starts, there are assigned ratings based on past accomplishments, this list achieves that. However after the ratings are assigned which is a number rather than a ranking, every game is calculated for the new rating. There are various formulas but the simplest is the Harkness system. Where starting rating can be 1200 top rating can be 2600 for Igor in this case. After assigned rating, for the new season every game is calculated and adds to the rating. You basically win more points for beating a stronger player. I suggest we use the Harkness system which is simpler, there are better systems too but it will be hard to reach a consensus on such a technical field.

There are other ranking systems such as Fide - Coca Cola ranking but it is based on tournament performance. Points do carry out every year for up to 5 years I think.

Tennis rating and rankings are also based on tournament performance but it is reset every year to zero for all the playe, which is something we definitely don't want.

I don't remember what was being used in Case's Ladder for Warbarons Top Skill Rating but the top score is 2100 and it seems to be similar to Harkness. http://www.igl.net/warlords/

Hear is the list for Harkness system

If you didn't find your team in the rating that means your team has perspective to be a part of it.

If you aren't in a team yet you have an ability to choose a team and send a request to join. And may be you will be a part of famous team.
Or you may create your own team if you are two or more who wish to be in the same team.
