9. JC:

10. Chicken Chaser: 41st at Sweet 16, 9th at Spartan Bi weekly 1, 33rd at BH8, 17th at SSA, 13th at A Foster Special

Conclusions: I can't find any results from JC so im not sure about him at 9 maybe move CC up one and put D++ at 10? 5-8 are all quite close but overall I think we got the order right, MAYBE Miracle Fruit at 5 instead of 2Shadez but hes been pretty inactive so Im not sure. Toadster should be further down in my opinion, im sure he is the 4th best player in Lansing but by results im not so sure. Severest, Oak and Ray all seem to be a cut above everyone else their order seems good as well.
Edit: Actually looking at it I think Severest should be the 2 spot, yes Oak outplaced him at SSA and Rom3 but I think Severest outplacing at Super Sweet, BH7, BH8 and a foster special on top of the fact that he has the head to head should push Severest to #2. Oak does have better wins though so im not sure, Its really close.

TLDR: Overall really good PR, only changes I could see potentially warranted are toadster down to 6. Miracle Fruit up to 4. CC to 9 and D++ at 10.

Edit: Added Foster special and Additional Thoughts on the 2 spot

You need to include A Foster Special in there too!

Good **** stif

 

[Stif]

Good **** stif

I kinda enjoyed doing it, ill definitely compile the data for the next update to the PR

 

[SonuvaBeach]

Did you include the last beach house? Toadster beat up Gamero pretty bad in bracket which contributed to his place at 4th. Him and MF are both currently lacking in results, but the list properly reflects what we think their skill is and the limited results support that

 

[2Shadez]

the period is from SSA to present, it will be concluded and finalized after body city 2. the reason for this is for a region that is vastly improving too long of a period doesnt give an accurate picture of where we are. also our ranking criteria are ranked in order of importance, so miles' better wins are definitely going to put him above severest. that head to head is out of the period

also josh that happened in pools, not bracket.

 

[SonuvaBeach]

Now I'm unsure if I should be posting here or on FB for documentation purposes. I'll post here.

For the next PR coming out in September and encompassing June, July and August (sounds good and fair to me?):
- The ranking criteria needs to be more specific. Good wins and bad losses need to be more defined somehow
- You need to specify where pools wins/losses and bracket win/losses fall in the ranking criteria. Pools wins/losses do matter, just not as much.
- A time frame for the September "real" PR needs to be released now so people know that they have a month and a half or two months or whatever to work to get on it
- @ Stif that list you've made is awesome! I'd suggest next time doing it in a google Doc though. I'll send you our example from past PR's that we've done. Basically you list all the tournaments at the top that are taken into account with their threads, and then create a chart below of all notable players. It's time consuming, but super helpful and easier to look at
- I feel it should be stated that this is a...prequel/preliminary PR, serving as a first step towards the real PR in September. There was some effort and work put into it, but not nearly as much as what will be in the September one. Think of this as a benchmark to start with. Spots will juggle and move by September.

@ 2Shadez I know its out of ranking period but i wanted to include the Sweets for ****s. Also Severest's most recent win over Miles was during the period because it happened at a foster special. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT GAMERO
