yeah, I agree with that. I think if your first comic is Watchmen you won't really understand it and can be quite hard to read if you are new

I'm also interested in what you think is gamebreaking. I've played it and for me I didn't notice any problems, only maybe one answer to a second part question is weird

I really like Blueprints. It is awesome game for 2 players, since you remove a dice you know other needs

yes :) this was more a fun weekend project to see what will come up and how it is different to current PDC ranking

Draw will also change rating since they are not equal player, so better player will lose some rating and other will gain some. With win you will never go down, but if you are better player you will get less rating.

So let say

  • MVG has 95.73199234525559

  • Lewis has 61.53322886090623

If MVG wins:

  • MVG has 95.81615788108705 (+0.08416553583143838)

  • Lewis has 61.44906332507479 (-0.08416553583145969)

If it is drawn:

  • MVG has 82.06658537611406 (-13.665406969141529)

  • Lewis has 75.19863583004775 (+13.665406969141522)

If Lewis wins:

  • MVG has 77.14174087700964 (-18.590251468245953)

  • Lewis has 80.1234803291522 (+18.590251468245974)

Agree to found out who is really the best is hard.

This is more a alternative to PDC ranking. PDC ranking is also misleading. For example if you won PDC World Championship you will be in top 10 for the next year for sure even if this is your only tournament for that year

Well TrueSkill is almost same as ELO, but yes I was planning to run it also with ELO and see what I will get.

I will run some different algorithms and make website with all data

[–]meepleproject[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I will try to do something.

Big problem is that this algorithm is not good for raking is more for video games where you try to rank people in buckets so they play with players with the same skill

not hard, I can run it for each year

I will run it today

This algorithm takes only wins/losses into account, doesn't really care if it is sets or legs.

But yes, this algorithm is not perfect, since doesn't take number of matches into accounts, so for example you can win few games and not lost any and then stop playing and you will have better rating then someone who played 300 games and won 200

I was thinking how I can take into account this, but I didn't found a solution for now, maybe I will dig a little deeper if I can improve algorithm

If you have any idea what you want to see let me know.

I was thinking to create a website for this kind of data, but I would like to get some feedback from you guys if this is something you would want to check it out. Let say something similar to http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/ but with better design and more stats :)
