A new ranking system is currently being evaluated (our ranking master is
making 'shadow rankings' to see the impact of the different scenarios). At
the last GA it was decided that we should come up with a different system,
but this is a slow / difficult proces. It's not so hard to come up with
some other system, but any system has (dis)advantages or is not approved /
supported by all players.
Sébastien Berret can explain the favorite new '70/30' system way better
than me, so perhaps he's willing to enlighten us :-) In that system, Bo
Lang would be first, Otto Myslives second, Eveline Broers third and Luca
Gavelli would be in sixth place...
We should be able to take a decission shortly.
Evaluate the game by all means. If you call yourselves 'International',please do not invite people from other countries and make fun of them.It is in bad taste.
I'm more worried about "NOT a simple" magically turning into "ALL simples".
Anyway, it seems this part was intended to refer to any fan.
The problem I have is that this is being used to "make news". It tarnishes whatever people like me perceive to be attempts to improve the individual and overall level of gameplay, especially since MN is the most prominent news outlet for EMA events. The verdict is that there is no improvement, and you don't need to participate in 3 tournaments to figure it out.
I'll keep my money from future events, unless the majority of players come from the #1 English riichi community website. My advice for the rest of you: claim haneman+ every hand. Eventually, people will count...
Though, anyone with an itchy-trigger-finger would have done so and not realize the consequence.
