Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?
well um, this is all well and good, but the way I look at it it, I am the 2nd best player in the land for the year, why cause I got 2nd in the Nat. Championship, the others years are history and donīt mean much to me. I beat Spider this year, which was very cool, and is a feather in my cap - yep he had 50 less points then me, but that was his choice and I think a pretty smart one for him. OK, OK I am just kidding, I am the 2nd luckiest player in the land, but whatever I got the DICE to prove it!

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?
I stumbled across this thread a few days ago while looking for something else, and decided to try to update it for the last five years of Main Events. (It was a little bit of a pain trying to figure out exactly which years people played the Main, but I did the best I could do. I'd appreciate any corrections.)
I used lonewolf's scoring rubric without any changes, except that I averaged 3rd and 4th place in the years when the 3rd place game was not played (2011, 2013, and 2014). I wasn't completely satisfied with either point total or average as a measure of player performance; I wanted something in between. So, borrowing from sports statistics, I took each players yearly total for every year they played, and subtracted some baseline score from it. This reflects how much better they did than a competitive player might expect to do. Of course, it's hard to say how high that baseline should be. I decided to come up with two measures: a lower baseline, which I call VAN for (obviously) "Value Above @NecroBlade ", and a slightly higher baseline, which I call WAD for (also obviously) "Wins Above @Deroche ". The results end up being pretty similar but people do slide up or down a couple spots here and there. Anyway, here are the results, with everyone with a positive score in these measures sorted by those values (and then by average when needed). You can switch over from VAN to WAD with the tab on the bottom: If anyone wants to see the complete lists, the spreadsheet is HERE. Please understand that the people at the bottom of the lists are not the true worst Main Event players; just the people who have played a lot while making Day 2 just once or twice. |

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?
All I need now is some catchy Heroscapers.com forum title about the acronym WAD. That's family friendly.
Or maybe it just needs to say "I'm a baseline" |

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?
It's not really fair to be counting the results to 2009, as those included Day 1 wins in them. It kinda skews the data a bit.

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?
No, lonewolf's numbers didn't include day 1 results. I would have included day 1 results if he had, but AFAIK the day 1 results from those years aren't posted anywhere.
