Plea for an annual ladder

[Steel God]

Well, officially, ELO is not a primary stat for a reason, it had to be fudged to make it work for wargames. There are threads in the archive that discuss the work arounds and limitations that had to be used when this stat was taken from the chess world to ours, and for that reason, it is not, and never will be, a prime stat on the ladders. It's just not accurate enough. It's a nice to have, or a luxury stat if you prefer.

Having said that, all of the existing prime stats are sortable so that you can run an annual ladder by using the filters, and I'm sure if you coordinate with the Ladder Commander before hand, he may even be willing to support such annual competitions with bonus points and/or medals. But annual ladders will not become the default views by the Blitz as we prefer the all time view (not many Clubs have our 8+ years of history and the current view helps portray that storied past), but have given you the players the tools necessary to view it as you personally prefer with a few mouse clicks.

Regards.
