Assuming they show up in the system, I could be convinced in doing a separate system.

Been kicking around a "player of the year" idea the last couple weeks anyway.

How would your "player of the year" differ from #1 YTD?

Anyway, I'm hardly claiming any sort of exclusive right to do this sort of thing. I'm just not willing to run my own separate system to handle tournaments not sanctioned through the CC.

Different goal. I'm thinking one that rewards playing different people, and just plain *playing* more.

Elo doesn't handle small pockets of community well, especially if a high-ranked player leaves (you can't win points that just don't exist anymore). So I'm thinking something a bit flatter and simpler that doesn't reward you for beating someone for the twentieth time that year.

Out of curiosity, if there's a mass OP boycott next year, are you going to do ratings calculations for all of the unsanctioned but competitive non-events?

That’s just some 2E guys throwing toys out of the pram. 1E can continue uninterrupted.

Golf and Tennis only rank X number of tournaments a year. I know golf rankings work on a two-year rolling scale (anything older means nothing).

Ive been wanting to see a two year system like that, where only the 4 majors in the US count, Euro/Aussie/canada (Russia and South Africa) nationals, Continentals, and Worlds count.

Keep ELO, but that's just a chess-style system. I think Trek more reflects Golf & Tennis.

Problem is, you need an OP department that wants to make events matter. Not just slap titles on locals.

And youre just a 1E guy living in La-la Land who thinks nobody is capable of cheating or making selfish decisions.

Apologies John - I didn't mean that to sound like it did. While I may not agree with your methods, I am hopeful that you've actually helped drive us towards better regulations and processes in future.

1E La-La Land has blackjack and hookers.

1E La-La Land has blackjack and hookers.

The local hookers have just offered me a free ride for my frequent business. No such service from the local casinos though...

1E La-La Land has blackjack and hookers.

But now the 2E guys have said, with regard to their protest, "Ah, screw the whole thing."

Austrian Nationals is in the books. The only move in the Top 10 is 1E Champion Stefan Slaby moving up the 1E rankings from ninth to fifth, though he also lost a single point in 2E but remained comfortably in third.

You know, I should update this again. (And I'd like to know what tournaments are yet to be processed--or completed, if online--for 2017.)

But it appears that something's going funny with the ratings again (I highly doubt that Kevin Jaeger managed to jump 100 points in 1E and 2E since my last update without playing since July), so I'll have to hold off on that.

[nobthehobbit]

The ratings (for 2017, at least) appear still to be screwy.

[Mogh, Son Of Worf]

Yes, some strange error materialized in the ratings, leading to big jumps for the first tournaments in 2017 which far exceed the +/- people should have gotten from those tournaments. I hope this can be corrected.

[KillerB]

We seem to be having glitches in the matrix more often....

Russian hackers or do we need to overhaul the 10 year old system?
