| It's a complex and sensitive subject. During the GA of EMA we (Morten Andersen –Denmark-, Janco Onnink –Netherlands-, Martin Mauthner –Austria- an I –France-) have had the charge of thinking about and propose to EMA a new ranking. We have tried to make a new ranking that improve 3 points that seems important to EMA : (1) this system should be representative of the actual strenght of each player (2) this system should encourage players to play tournaments (3) this system should be more dynamic than the actual one The more tournament you play, the more your average is representative, but the less you can make it move... so it seems that it's difficult to have something dynamic AND representative. And what about players who can't participate to a lot of tournament a year ? Are they automaticly poor players ? No, and Lucas is a bright exemple. And it's not because you play a lot that you are a good player, so accumulative system are not a good way to rank the player. We don't have changed the all way of thinking the EMA ranking, transition to a brand new system have to be made smoothly. For the "dynamicness" (3) of the ranking, we have decided to reduce the fade of the weight of the tournaments to Y years. For the "representativeness" of the ranking we have choosen to mix the global average (based on all the results) with the average of the X best results in the last Y years. We hope that by this way, you can try, participating in a lot of tournaments ("encouragingness" (2)), to improve one of your X best results : the more tournaments you play, the more chance you have to improve one of your X best results. Even if you don’t improve one of your X best results, as the tournament count in the global average, you don’t have play the tournament for « nothing ». With this system, that we have asked to Sébastien to prototype, we see the recently rewarded players climb up on the top of the ranking. The best player will be the one who will have the X best results and the biggest global average. Lucas will still have his chance to be number one, even if he doesn’t play a lot of tournament, and Otto will be rewarded for his exellent performances. Oliv’ |
