Plea for an annual ladder

[Copper]

Sorry Hawk, I don't mean to prove you wrong, but... you're wrong.

The ELO filter is not set up so that we can view the ELO points generated over the last 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months. I'm not sure about the main points ladder, but either way, the main points ladder is nothing but a quantity not quality type ladder (no offense to those who are at the top of the ladder). That's fine and good if that is the Blitz's philosophy, but does not satisfy ladder whore's like Dave.

Cheers!

Well, no I am not wrong. Slightly wrong perhaps.

The time filters work for everything but ELO. So I am about 95% correct.

The ELO calculation is based on all games played verses all opponents. It has no time factor built into it.

I think you could certainly run a number of fine competitions other than ELO.

Thanx!

Hawk

I was only speaking to the ELO ladder that Dave was suggesting, and yes, you are 100% wrong on that point, as you yourself have pointed out.

: )

I agree, that other different data sorting methods could be used to enhance the experience at the blitz, such as win's, win % or even ladder points. My number one ladder is the ELO ladder, as I think its the best ranking method that the statistical package at the blitz does have.

I'll support any other ideas if the main ladder cannot be changed, and for good reason (lots of time to do it).

Cheers!
