Elements PvP League - Suggestions and Feedback

[Vangelios]

Now that we have IRC, has anyone suggested having a separate room for League? From what I could see, the idea was only turned down because you couldn't have both the league chat and the normal chat open.

I do not think it necessary, just only put -BL or -CL next to the nick name name.

It will remove the league stuff from main chat, however, which does seem nice

...because chat is never dead and the discussions going on always relevant and intelligent.

And leagues discussions on chat tend to attract new players that joined chat only to "pvp anyone ?", so IMHO it would be a loss to remove them from main chat.

The first time I heard about leagues, was when I was in chat.

Please establish a rule for cases of a tie in the top 6.

They play one best of five after the league is over and get a +1/2 rating? That way if someone is one point above them they'll still be above the winner. If they both put no energy into playing each other a random winner is chosen, and if oen person does and the other person doesn't the one who did wins.

Ranked by record against each other.
If it's a tie then I'd like to see by win %.

Then a coinflip, i guess.

Everything about ranking should involve what happened during the league.

[RootRanger]

Ideally a coinflip would be the total last resort. Imo the tiebreaker, after head to head matches, should be wins against the #1 player, then #2, then #3, etc.

I set one up a while ago. It's like #elementsleague(s) (I forget).

Btw hi Annele.

Here is the system they use for magic the gathering tournaments:

It looks very sound. We probably would want to add in the win percentage against the player with which you're tied in front of all those tiebreakers.

Before I left, I was developing a rating system that combined the play incentive of Elo with the recursive formula structure of Krach(i.e. you gain points based on your opponent's end score, not their score at the time of the match).  L.O.s, would you still be interested? I can check my old notes to see what I had developed and try to finish what I started.
