LOL
Yeah, true, sorry. I have to learn to not be so lulzy about things that are semi-serious.
(Story of my life LOL)
Ok, so as long as you can get the 'basics' through that post, then I'll try this agian.
Here's an example of a SERIOUS(ish) version. I won't re-explain everything but this won't be covered in silliness.
BC Melee Power Ranking (with Power Ranking Points)
Rank _ Points _ Player ________ Character ____ Location
1st _ 25 PRP __
Diakonos _______ Marth/Fox __ Burnaby
2nd _ 22 PRP __
Dieslow ________ Fox/Falco __ Surrey
3rd _ 19 PRP __
Sion ___________ Falco ______ Vancouver
4th _ 18 PRP __
Blunted_Object10 _ Falco _____ Richmond
5th _ 15 PRP __
Daltsy __________ Falco _____ Victoria
6th _ 14 PRP __
Cowear __________ Fox ______ Richmond
7th _ 11 PRP __
Extreme _________ Fox ______ Burnaby
8th _ 8 PRP ___
Patooty _________ SAMUS ___ Richmond
9th _ 4 PRP ___
Noobking ________ Falcon ____ Richmond
10th _ 1 PRP __
Get@Will ________ Falcon ____ Vancouver
I balanced the Power Ranking Points from the last post a little more so the middle is actually near the middle.
BUT here's the details.
Middle in
Rank is 5th and 6th
Middle in
Points is 13
Because of the stronger push for 1st - 4th with Diakonos/Dieslow/Sion/Eric, they are put somewhat close together in
Points
After them, the
5th Place (1 above middle) Tim is too close to
6th Place (1 below middle) Ryan to be seperated by much.
Tim and Ryan aren't that far away from
4th Place Eric who has to be close to
3rd Place Sion
Because of this tight skill gap in the
Top 6, the
Half Way Points is below Ryan.
After that, the
7th - 10th Place spots are a little more spread even until you reach Will in
10th Place
That's what it would sort of look like. Numbers and Locations may varry.
The rest of this post is a
PRETEND DISCUSSION ON HOW THE POINTS WOULD ALTER AS TIME WENT ON
Let's PRETEND this IS the
OFFICIAL POWER RRANKING (WITH POINTS)
TOURNAMENT TIME
If a
Tournament passes and these things happn...
TOURNAMENT RESULTS
1 - Sion :: > Eric :: < Daltsy
2 - Daltsy :: > Sion :: < Eric
3 - Tiep :: > Manuel (with SAMUS) :: < Will
4 - Will :: > Tiep (as SAMUS) :: < Manuel.
5 - Roby :: > Tiep :: < Ryan.
6 - John :: Wins Tourney Through Loser Bracket (silly one but don't worry)
Now there is things to be discussed.
Discussion 1
1 - Sion beat Eric, so his placing should probably
STAY 1 POINT in front of him.
(He lost to Daltsy though.)
2 - Daltsy beat Sion, so his placing could go
UP 1 POINT to be close.
(He lost to Eric though.)
= With these 2 and Eric, there's a triangle. So how did Eric do?
1.5 - Eric :: > Daltsy :: < Sion
- Maybe he placed higher than both, or equal with Sion.
Maybe not significantly higher but the bracket just worked out.
- So he did equally well as Sion but
PLACED 1 ahead of Daltsy and Sion (both at 5th lets pretend, Eric got 3rd)
If they did just as good as one another, their
POINTS shouldn't change much, if at all.
Tim doing almost as well, maybe just as good, means something too.
But at the same time, Sion and Eric are closer than Tim is with each other. So their
POINT DIFFERENCE doesn't need to change from what it already is.
CONCLUSION...
Sion + Eric + Tim
DON'T CHANGE POINTS, doesn't really need to be discussed.
WHY
THEY DID AS WELL AS PREDICTED/THEY SHOULD/THEIR RANKING AND POINTS INDICATE
Discussion 2
3 - Patooty beat Manuel, INCREDIBLE MATCHES, but lost to 10th Place Will.
He could easily go
UP IN POINTS from this, maybe he was off his game against Will or maybe Will knows how to beat Tiep really well. Or maybe Manuel was just off his game.
4 - Will beat Tiep, quite a good win after Tiep beat Manuel. He then lost to Manuel, which is predicted that he wouldn't pull up the upset too.
Tiep and Will could both
GO UP IN POINTS from this.
Manuel didn't do as well as expected, but still performed well.
THIS HAS TO BE DISCUSSED.
3 - Did Tiep do well to the extent that he deserves more Points than his current Points?
4 - Did Will do well to the extent that he deserves more Points than his current Points?
3 - Not hard to do, as Tiep is in the middle and somewhat spread out from those around him.
4 -
THIS IS THE TRICKY ONE
Will is in
10TH PLACE, with
1 POINT
To move him up means either giving him
2 or 3 POINTS, but then the system is ruined.
Because he did well, this happens.
WHO DID BETTER THAN EXPECTED AND DESERVES RECOGNITION?
WHO DID AVERAGE AS EXPERCTED AND DESERVES TO STAY?
WHO DID WORSE THAN EXPECTED AND MIGHT BE MOVED DOWN?
Note: This is just like a NORMAL PR WITHOUT POINTS discussion.
But there is a finer detail that contributes to the placing aside from simple
1 - 10
This makes it fun to try and get more points.
It ACTUALLY HAS A MEASUREMENT of how close you may be to passing the person in front of you/being passed from the person behind you.
Rivalries and/or smak talk and/or crew battle hype/designating and/or whatever else.
BETTER THAN EXPECTED
- Will (beating Tiep and placing well)
As last, moving up means everyone else moving down, so it gets tricky when he does well.
(That's where discussion comes in)
- Tiep (beating Manuel and placing well)
Reasonably deserve a thought of more POINTS after beating 1ST PLACE with 25 POINTS
JOHN (winning the tourney WTF?) I'll leave him out for now lol
AVERAGE
- Tim (placed as would be predicted)
- Eric (placed as would be predicted)
- Sion (placed as would be predicted)
- Ryan (placed as would be predicted)
- Roby (placed as would be predicted)
WORSE THAN EXPECTED
- Manuel (lost to Tiep and not 1st)
As 1st with 25 POINTS, someone beating him means he wasn't 1st this tourney
(Therefore shouldn't have 25 POINTS)
- Adam (lost to John and Yakal)
Lost to John early (who ended up winning so it's ok) but lost to Yakal (not on PR)
SO???
1. Will and Tiep could rise.
2. Tim and Ryan stay together.
3. Eric and Sion stay together.
4. Roby stays right after those groups.
5. Manuel and Adam could drop.
6. Tony wasn't there so N/A. (we know he hasn't changed too much since he last played, so would've probably placed roughly as expected in the tourney)
That covers everyone on the PR, where they stand now and where they could go from these results.
Things that need attention.
1. Adam lowering.
Easy to do.
2. Tiep raising.
Easy to do.
RESULTS IN NEW PR TO BE DISCUSSED
Tiep is bumped up 1 and Adam bumped down 1

THOUGHTS
That's easy, it'll happen lots probably.
ONE PERSON moving UP or DOWN
Not just at tourneys, but when ONE PERSON is stepping it up noticeably
Or everyone is stepping it up but ONE PERSON isn't improving as much.
Now the tricky part.
Will doing well and Manuel not as well.
This is actually easy when you think about it.
Scenario 1
IF they BOTH did WELL
Everyone would move DOWN 1
EXCEPT THEM
That's the same result as them both moving UP 1.
IF they BOTH did BAD
Everyone would move UP 1
EXCEPT THEM
That's the same result as them both moving DOWN 1.
Scenario 2
IF FIRST did BETTER and LAST did WORSE
Everyone could stay the same, as that's the same result as 1st UP 1 and 10th DOWN 1.
Or everyone between is COMPRESSED in the middle, as the gap between 10th and 9th INCREASES, and the gap between 2nd and 1st INCREASES.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED THIS TOURNEY
IF LAST did BETTER and FIRST did WORSE
Everyone could stay the same, as that's the same result as 10th UP 1 and 1st DOWN 1.
Or everyone between is EXPANDED in the middle, as the gap between 10th and 9th DECREASES and the gap between 2nd and 1st DECREASES
Scenario 3
The most difficult/needing discussion one would be...
IF ONE does BAD and ONE STAYS
Then a couple little things would alter.
Either those CLOSE to the
FOUNDATION (remember this word?) would get closer or further FROM it. That's all, easy to decide too.
CONCLUSION!!
Either Manuel and Will don't effect the rest of the PR, so everything stays accordingly the same from them.
OR
Manuel and Will perform effectively enough to change the rest by expanding them to fit appropriately.
That's the end result of the
tournament.
Adam down 1.
Tiep up 1.
Manuel and Will would move, but as Foundation they don't affect the PR with their move.
Fun thing.
Let's pretend John won the tourney.
If he's OOS, it doesn't change much. He's just an OOSer that's better than our 1st.
If he's OOS and DIDN'T do well (maybe 10th) then the only way he affects the PR is if someone loses to him that's HIGHER than someone who beats him. Even then it can't affect much.
If John is a local, and suddenly wins. He must be discussed.
This changes a LOT.
Just like adding someone on the PR out of nowhere, but this time discussion has to come into it.
If anything, adding
11th _ 0 _ Johnsugaya _ Daisy _ NorthPole temporarily until John either performs again or smashes with everyone to some extent to get a better idea of it is needed.
Instead of throwing him on the PR in some placement just because he won a tourney.
He needs a PR placement FROM that, the POINTS can help find WHERE and HOW.

Edit: I'll read it over later so if there's mistakes, bleh. Jam practice. :D
Editedit: Would it help if I changed all the candy-related stuff in that first post so you can read it, or did you get enough from reading it to understand?
Because there's some stuff in there that I don't say in this one that's probably important. >_>
