G40 League House Rule project

[gamerman01]

Updated with 2 more results, and
PPG implemented for G40!

For those not familiar with my system used the past couple years with AA50 league…

These rankings are only for fun and informational purposes.  They have no bearing on who is actually crowned league champion.  The moderators don’t post league standings very often at all, so this is the place to check to see where you stack up at any given point in time.  It is also a great way to check out your opponent before you agree to play - see how strong of a player they are and where they rank in the league currently.

I assign players to tiers 1, 2, 3.  I normally assign players with current PPG of .5 or above to tier 1.  Tier 2 is for -.5 to +.5, and Tier 3 is below -.5 PPG.  This is an approximation of the quality of your opponent, based on his other game results.  Basically tier 1 is a strong opponent, tier 2 is an average opponent, and tier 3 is weak/inexperienced.

Here is how I get PPG (points per game played):
I count up your points.  You earn:
3 for defeating a tier 1 player
2 for defeating a tier 2 player
1 for defeating a tier 1 player
-1 for losing to a tier 1 player
-2 for losing to a tier 2 player
-3 for losing to a tier 3 player

Then divide points by number of games played.
If you beat someone considered tier 1 in December but then they go and lose a few games and drop a tier, then your PPG will decline as well, because new information showed that your tier 1 opponent was perhaps over-rated, probably due to insufficient data.

Speaking of insufficient data, I am jumping the gun a bit…. I am unfamiliar with a lot of these players and so only have a couple of game results to go on.  I even put ?? in for tier for a few players with few results.  I calculated them as tier 2 by default, for now.  So don’t be miffed if you are a danged good Axis and Allies player and you are currently ranked tier 3 because you played and lost a couple of games.  Keep playing, and with a few wins this wrong will quickly be corrected!  I’m just going by the results that come in.  Did I mention this is just for fun?

Check out my standings and watch them during the year.  Give them a chance, and wait for a bunch more results to come in and for the rankings to take firmer shape.  I have found that this system I devised a couple years ago designed to take into account STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE, AND level the playing field for NUMBER OF GAMES PLAYED, helps a lot to see more clearly where players stand.

If nothing else, you can see the current results along with a W/L matrix that shows who beat who and how many times, and you can re-sort my spreadsheet by WIN % if you want to ignore my somewhat subjective rankings.

Enjoy  :-)

look at who is on top of the list!  talk about having a bullseye on your back…  :-P

[gamerman01]

I only finished one game.
I’m not even ranked - you are #1.
Takes 3 games to be ranked.
After Kabloom beats me my PPG will be 0.  If I manage to win, my PPG will drop to 2.  :-)
I should have stopped so my PPG would be a perfect 3 for the whole year, huh?  :-D

you are funny :-D

No one knows that you’re referring to something I said in a private message  :wink:

[gamerman01]

Kabloom, despite my first joking comment, I’m not disrespecting you.  At least, until I see you make a move or two…
I don’t like to make a practice of underestimating people  :-D
