Well, you are right about one thing - I am lumping bonus points in with kill points, and then forcing that sum to be a ratio of flag points. But it's totally equivalent to lumping bonus points in with flag points, and then forcing kill points to be a ratio of that sum. It's also equivalent to creati...

With kill bonus F = maximum number of flag points in prac p = desired percentage of flag points G = number of flags N = number of players in prac A = average kills per player P = points per kill = K + Bf K = Fixed points per kill B = Bonus points per kill per flag held f = Average flags held = G / ...

It looks to me like our goal is to find a value for kill points that will make kill points roughly equal flag points, or some multiple thereof. If you think about it, changing the value of flag points will not help things, because there is always a fixed maximum number of possible flag points in any...

He just need to convert his bot to Python, or something, and make a module out of it. All we need is the practice bot. We can add everything else later. "Just" converting it into a python module would take ~120-160 hours of work. Sorry, but I don't have the time. But the code is open for anyone to ...

I'll need to look into it. One thing to note - the points from f2 are not necessarily the same as those from the bot. The prac bot keeps track of points independently from f2, and bases those points on the settings inside the bot for the league and particular arena. So synching it up with f2 is not ...

As it's causing too much confusion, I'm willing to get rid of the kill-bonus altogether. We could make pracs like the current league where the only points come from bell flags and a set value for each kill. In this case, 120 would be too high and something closer to 80 would be needed. Also, this w...

I'd like as much as anyone to have a rating system that relies only on a player's performance during a match, and not on the ratings of the other players. However, I'm at a loss to think of a fair way to do that. The problem is with the definition of a player's "performance". It's just not the case ...

Update: 1. The carry stats are now fixed for the individual sectors. Note that the "Total" line is not necessarily the sum of the carries from the 4 sectors, since other "sectors" are included in that total as well (e.g., TCL, DSBL, etc.). As a side note, ignore the "1000" for winR/powR in the indiv...

For the record, I stopped in to try and help Temb with the templates because he asked for help :) I stuck around longer to try and clean up issues with the bot/website and help train Beer/Eridu/others on how to use it more effectively. Fly/Beer/Eridu have had equal access to me for the past 8 months...

I should point out here that lifetime ratings are not a "league". They are only supposed to be a reflection of how good someone is and help with match outcome predictions. There is no "winner" for lifetime ratings. Rather, the focus is supposed to be on the ratings for the current league, for which ...
