New PR System, all states applicable!

[CT Chia]

...you do realize that a 50+ man round robin is a horrible idea, right?

also, 2nLio, you wouldn't be spending 10 bucks to just be on the PR. it would be run with a normal pot split and everything, but the RanBat point system would be implemented based on your placing.

lol i kno, im just saying it wont take days to complete

im looking for a system to use for PA, but if OOS isn't even considered then there's absolutely no way itl work here. Practically every tourney any PA player is at (even tourneys in our state) has atleast 50% OOS attendance.

 

[Sensei Seibrik]

what a PR for a state is "the best/most consistant of the players that participate in this states tournies"


OOS players generally don't get on other states PR's for the same fact that people dont go to one tourny in a period, and win, and get high on their own states PRS, cuz one or even two sometimes don't make a difference on the whole.

but if 50% of ur tournies are OOS, consistant, just coutn them as ur own states players, they are coming out to ur state (traveling) and potentially doing well? sounds like they deserve the recognition to me.

yo seibrik. i'm gonna PM you now about it.

Thats an interesting idea, though it's also the other way around as well. I'd say about half of all of the active PA player's tourneys are OOS tourneys because NJ NY and PA are so close to each other.

Your forgetting ohio...Oh wait that right, since I'm stranded on the other side of the state those are the closest tourneys to me when not at college

So simply make a

"PA/NJ/NY PR"


thats like FL, all those together lol

we're not gona make a sfl pr, then a cfl pr, we do a FL pr.

I don't know about this. It's seems really flawed. I think that untill you can absolutely decide what you guys want to do you should get a panel of TO's and respected players that you can assuredly assume wont be biased to make the rules favor them and construct a solid PR system.

 

[DJRome]

a point based system is always going to be biased. it's construct will affect one group of people more than another. even so, they are useful. but if you are going to use one, you will have to know that it will be unfair to some group of people

 

[DAftFlip]

Well chess uses a point based system and it works just fine

im reading this
