I felt as though non-PRs should constitute the bottom ranks first, as nobody had been consistant enough (imo) to be placed higher than the previous PR players.

Next update, you'll most likely move around a fair bit if you can keep up the good placements.

Once Ted and I iron those bad habbits out of you next week, I definitely see you going up wonders in the list.

Elo can never replace power rankings, as power rankings take more than just pure performance into account.

So much ELO hate... >_>

I doubt ELO will replace Power Rankings considering the feedback it's getting. Seeing, sure, but not PR.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

Basically everyone starts with a set amount of points, and gain/lose points based on whether they win or lose and who against, based on expectancy (bigger gap = more points exchanged if lower player wins, fewer if the higher player wins).


Don't get me wrong, Bryte, I love Elo (in fact, when Shaya was explaining his tournament program + elo idea to me I was like "holy **** this is *exactly* how I've felt since forever"); me saying it can't replace Power Rankings has nothing to do with how much I like it. It's just that Power Rankings and Elo Ratings taking into consideration different things, and therefore can't be (accurately) used to achieve the same goals.

Also stop capitalising "Elo" like it's an acronym, because it's not.

Well... Seeing as Turtle is now living in Sydney (iirc), if he starts coming to Boosts he'll obviously have to come back on this list. That'll be interesting.

So can i be on this :D
Good point. You are a lot better than I remember you to be - definitely have to verse you some more in the future.

Only problem is we've had so few tournaments that we can't really call this yet. Wait a few more tournies so we can get a better view on how you go against other PR players.

Also, get as much OoS experience as you can, as that really helps when taking you into consideration :awesome:
