i think a REAL list of EVERYONE in norcal should be made. cause everyone knows there are players inbetween the lines, that are there, but dont want to be there, or are too inactive..

but i think a list should be made just for ****s and giggles and fill in the spaces where people who arent active enough but still play are on it, just to see how it looks =D

That'd be interesting to see. Isai, King, Lord, AznSpikes, AznDanny, & foxroar are good candidates for the gray-spots of the rankings. There'll probably be a huge bias and an unacceptable margin of error with it, which is why it probably won't work well.

I wonder who else would be a good candidate. Where you at Perpetual Zero, or SAM THE FALCO.

i would imagine a revenge killer weavile should use pursuit instead of night slash

i honestly think we have enough 'consistent+good' people to extend the rankings to at least 25

in no order and off the top of my head; dp, zelgadis, sidefx, zoap, alan, the___cheese, ky, darrell, obey, sfat

that's just off the top of my head and not counting semi-actives like the king, choknater, mexican, meep, ininja, mikkuz, pewpewu, whoever

edit: and MYSELF, though i will be top 5 next period anyway so no worries about me being in the 16-25 range

personally i think it should stop at top 10, cause after that it gets so hard to say whos better than who, since after top 10 the skill level usually drops and blurs out enough to make it almost dumb to rank 11-25 or whatever it is.

top 10 is easy and efficient =D

but there's no point in ranking the 'easy' people, since everyone knows how good they are anyway

people don't need us to tell them jeff is **** good!

give us mediocre players something to set goals by

true dat true dat


edit: perhaps we should get a couple of us mediocre people and come up with a 16-25 ranking since we know our bracket better than the top 10 know us =D if that makes sense..

i think a 16-25 would be a great idea

i would imagine some ppl are disheartened (if that's the word) by looking at the list cuz they're like we cant beat any of those guys

a 16-25 would be a good goal for them to go for

i wanna get top 3 in these rankings tho

one of these days it'll happen.....one day soon

where the **** is all our tournaments

probably on a platform
don't make it easy to get on a PR, doesn't that kind of ruin the competitive spirit, like if anyone can be on it, what's the point of trying hard to get on/move up

you have a bunch of players you named that if they step it up could easily be on the PR, why just cop out and just make it longer, how does that help the region as a whole get better (assuming everyone in the end wants to get better)

what pocky said rey, baby steps

my first step was to get on the PR (done)

then it was to be top 10 (done)

next up is top 3

THEN BEAT JEFF AND BECOME NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know paul's number one but we see him once in a blue moon

ranking inactive players is a terrible idea

they don't deserve to be ranked; they're not active

why would you bring so much speculation into a PR, isn't it supposed to be as concrete and accurate as possible?

because nobody's actual goal is to "get on the PR"; it's to reach a certain number

by stopping the PR at 15 when there's enough data to have 20-25, you're telling everyone that they need to shoot for at least #15, which is pretty rough for most people not in the group that i mentioned and/or are of comparable skill already

I'd be down to do 16-whatever, I wanted to do 20 in the first place. However at some point we don't have enough information to really accurately rank people, and putting people in a definite ranking gives the impression that we do (like significant figures), which is where a list of honorable mentions comes in. 16-20 is probably doable, but there's really not much difference among 21-25, or not enough to put them in a definite order. Unless of course people would rather the panelists just take a guess.
