Online Player Rankings Thread

Spreadsheets Rock

I think I only ever saw this thread (and ranking in the OP) once before...is this updated regularly?

I noticed that I'm on there as 8-8 and I haven't really been keeping track, so it must be somewhat updated. I just read through this and thought it was a pretty neat little thing we go going here and it would be awesome if it was updated regularly.

Yeah. All the spreadsheets are linked so they do it automatically. We just haven't had games recently so it's been fairly dormant.

So I played my first game of online scape last night with my boy ISB3. I haven't played serious scape, or against a great player, in a couple years so I got bopped but it was very fun. Also had to learn everything and play on a map I've never played before (The Borogoves). The top-down view is pretty hard on a map I don't know well, but he and his bro said it gets a lot easier once you memorize the maps and get use to the aerial angle.

Hella rusty and it will take a bit to get back to being in-practice but all in all I am very much into playing scape again and it is much easier to do with online scape. :). Big thank you to those who made it/contribute to it/run it.
 
Yeah, and Gencon Prep games do not count vs our Rankings system due to it being an antiquated format.
 
Looks like I cracked the top 20 (at least for now). A look behind the scenes shows that 18 and 22 are very close together ratings-wise.
 
It's interesting to see how many players in the top 35 have win rates close to 50%. Even some players with quite a few games under their belts.


The top players really stand out with their much higher win rates :shock:
 
It Does Not

No. I think we decided to treat it like the Gencon prep events which are also unranked.

First post now contains rolling rankings that only include the last year's play.
 
S40 results have just dropped off of the Recent Leaderboard, so it now considers only seasons 41-46.
 
Is the underlying spreadsheet for this something that can be reused in other settings?
 
Mebbe

It's linked up to some programs and stuff. Is there something in particular you have in mind?

I want to do some kind of NERV/ELO/True skill/etc. ranking for the local Colorado scene. I think it is really taking off and I'd like to use this kind of information for seeding games (and bragging rights, etc.)

Ooo, that’d be cool. A basic Elo system would be really neat for Heroscape scenes local AND global. Like all ScapeCon and GenCon tourneys track player elo so you have a “ranking system” for ‘S’ tier tourneys…that’d be neat I think.
 
Potentially

Not unfeasible. I'd need to look into the coding to figure out how to make it work in a way that's useful for the system.

~Dysole, who thinks dok or Xorlof might know more but right now she doesn't want to add anything to their plates

Yeah, obviously it would be awesome to have a single system that ties all the online and convention games in with local scenes. The problem there is that local scenes are more likely to use imbalanced maps or formats. Of course, you could just keep them separate, too.

But I don't have any big plans like that, I just want to do something locally.
 
I was curious what my recent ranking was and I'm not sure how far those records go back, but I think I am 7-6 ig I'm not mistaken;

S52: 2-2

S53: 4-2

S556: 1-2 (+a bye, which doesn't count iirc)

Definitely not of any importance, wondering how I stack up on the recent leaderboard with that extra win ;)
