Ladder competition

[Weasel]

Guys, the OVERALL LADDER is the one you currently see when you look at the SP ladder, not the BLITZ CLUB overall ladder. You will have an SP X-TO DATE ladder and an SP Jan1-31 Dec ladder.

As for me taking the time to mess around with the way players deem who is #1, no. Whomever is at the top is #1.

ELO: You cannot sort by this as this is not 100% accurate. For example I only play very top players 90% of the time, so my ELO won't move much. Also, I mentor new players, so when I record a mentor-draw against a boot my ELO drops like a rock. So not fair for those of us who teach is it.

AVERAGE: First requires me sitting there crunching numbers...not going to happen. Also will be skewed as those who play few games against weaker players can have a much higher average then say one who plays 80 games per year against tough players. I think the guy who plays a ton and has a lower average against tough players is a much better player then a guy who plays 5 games against weak players.

So since this is becoming a monster perhaps we should just put it to bed.

As far as I am concerned, the guy at the top of the ladder is #1...simple. If he plays 500 games in a year and only wins 10%, so be it. I guess if you want to be #1 you will have to play 501 and win at least 10%.

The PATHFINDER medal is still only awarded to the #1 guy on the overall SP ladder. I may do up another medal for those who are top for the yearly ladder, but if so you will only be awarded it once no matter how many times you are top.
