SM 2020 (Math) Author Posts: 157 Location: India | it was a pleasant surprise to see my ratings increase by 160 points. wasnt actually expecting it to improve as much as it did. i guess 360 points is not bad for someone with just two monthly tests under his belt. | ||

WSPC Organizer Posts: 739 Location: India | Fred76 - 2010-11-19 12:48 AM Just a proposition for the rating: It would be interesting to indicate (perhaps with arrows next to the ranking) if the rank of a player is better, worse or equal compared to last ranking (ranking before last test). Fred I like the idea of an arrow. Maybe a green arrow pointing up and a red arrow pointing down. Lets see what we can do. Thanks for the idea. And Thanks to Gotroch too, for initiating the concept :-) | ||

Mean Minis (2020) Author Posts: 774 Location: India | DreamRose311 - 2010-10-21 1:41 AMNow that there have been 5 puzzle tests, can we expect a similar LMI Puzzle Ratings soon? Finally, the inaugural LMI Puzzle Ratings are up. You can also reach the ratings from the home page, by clicking on Puzzle under Ratings. A total of 359 players from 40 countries are included in the inaugural LMI Puzzle rating list. Apart from India, the top five countries in terms of number of participating players are USA, Germany, Japan, Poland and UK. The LMI puzzle ratings will be updated next in mid-December 2010. Its a neck and neck race for the No 1 spot between Thomas Snyder (motris) and Hideaki Jo (deu). Ulrich Voigt (uvo) is currently ranked third. The top 10 is dominated by the Germans and the Japanese, occupying 8 of the 10 places. Amit Sowani, Rohan Rao and Rajesh Kumar are the top 3 Indians in the list, and the only ones in the Top 50. | ||

Mean Minis (2020) Author Posts: 774 Location: India | rakesh_rai - 2010-11-19 9:19 AM You can check out the LMI Sudoku Ratings page now. Arrows are now included to indicate the change in rank (from previous rating list). The exact changes in the ranks and ratings are explicitly indicated as well.Gotroch - 2010-11-19 12:43 AM It would be nice if you add points change (for ex. +16) in comparison with score from previous leaderboard.And similar statistic for player position change :) Fred76 - 2010-11-19 12:48 AM Both are valid points. This is very much a part of the plans, and you'll see this happen sooner than later.Just a proposition for the rating: It would be interesting to indicate (perhaps with arrows next to the ranking) if the rank of a player is better, worse or equal compared to last ranking (ranking before last test). | ||

It looks like a jump of 10+ ranks is indicated by Up arrow. | ||

Mean Minis (2020) Author Posts: 774 Location: India | debmohanty - 2010-11-26 2:47 PM You are right. The arrows are largely self explanatory. As of now, we have used five arrows in three colours to indicate the changes in ranks, as below:May be an explanation of what the arrows indicate? It looks like a jump of 10+ ranks is indicated by Up arrow. - The green arrow indicates that the player is on the up, and has made major gains (10+) in the ranks as compared to last ranking list. - This arrow indicates that the player has made minor gains in ranks (1-9). - The right blue arrows indicate that there is no change in the rank. - This arrow indiates that the player has dropped 1-9 ranks. - The red arrow indicates that the player has dropped 10+ ranks. | ||

Thanks for explaining. So there is no 'major' jump (in either direction) in top20. But I would think that cpickerel and willwc cases are significant jumps. The point i'm trying to make is a jump of 5 ranks in top20 or jump of 10 ranks in top50 or a jump of 20 ranks in top100 should be considered as major. | ||

Mean Minis (2020) Author Posts: 774 Location: India | debmohanty - 2010-11-26 4:03 PM Blue is my favourite colour, so I wanted more of blue .So there is no 'major' jump (in either direction) in top20. Actually, with the current thumb-rule, it is less likely that we'll see a green or red arrow in Top 20. But I would think that cpickerel and willwc cases are significant jumps.The point i'm trying to make is a jump of 5 ranks in top20 or jump of 10 ranks in top50 or a jump of 20 ranks in top100 should be considered as major. I think you meant a drop for cpickerel. Thanks Rishi. But you have got a very valid point here. Since you want to see a more colourful rating list, we can definitely think of a context based definition of 'major'. Lets have more views on this and we can refine this further. | ||

Posts: 24 Location: United States | The rating system is really cool, thanks for doing this. One issue though, on both 'change' columns, when you sort by that column, it doesn't quite sort correctly. For instance all numbers starting with 1, whether it's 1 digit, 2 digits, or 3 digits are all grouped together. (it sorta goes 1, 10, 100, 11, 110, 111)... | ||

Mean Minis (2020) Author Posts: 774 Location: India | debmohanty - 2010-12-28 12:37 PM The square brackets are not necessary. They can be done away with, if that helps in sorting on the 'Change' column.DreamRose311 - 2010-12-17 8:56 PMThe rating system is really cool, thanks for doing this.

Posts: 30 Location: Canada | I notice I'm missing from the rankings now. (I think I've done only one test since November.) How do you determine whether someone is 'active' or not? How long before you get removed? | ||

Posts: 329 Location: India | figonometry - 2011-02-19 5:43 AM I notice I'm missing from the rankings now. (I think I've done only one test since November.) How do you determine whether someone is 'active' or not? How long before you get removed? If you miss three consecutive tests then your name is temporarily dropped from the ratings. You will again enter in the list as soon as you play another test. Sudoku tests / ratings and Puzzle tests /ratings are totally different entities....and are not mixed together. | ||
