TB rating system

[JoNny]

Hi all

In this topic I’d like to point out some things about the TB rating system. It has been from summer 2010 since I rated, as you all know at that moment Splatterladder was the rating system. So this week I started to play some maps serious again and I noticed a remarkable aspect of the TB rating system.

Take for instance this map
http://et.trackbase.net/session/368/

As you can see dtec had a -0.33 on this map while he had almost 22ppm on FA2 which is good. The reason is because the average ppm is 12,19 which is rly high.

Other example:
http://et.trackbase.net/session/92160/

had a 100-22 score that map. Still got minus, why? Average ppm too high (9,59)

The counter example:
http://et.trackbase.net/session/61486/

huge + with only 16,45 ppm, reason here: low average ppm (6,16)

my point is:
play vs less skilled players and you get much +
play vs better players (more raters playing same map) and everyone gets – because average ppm is high.
In my opinion it should be the other way around; play good vs other raters and get much +, play vs less skilled players and get less +
(this was the case with SL. I still remember when we played with 3 or 4 .GoD| players on same map so average was rly high and everyone gets much +)

Some stuff to think about for next tb update

So first to the last sentence: You said that good players vs good players would get - rating, but how could this session be made then? http://et.trackbase.net/session/61486/ 3 players with ~ 20 rating did play and get a + rating.

So now to the other two sessions.
1) http://et.trackbase.net/session/368/
dtect got a minus rating of course because the av ppm was higher than normal, especially on fa#2 but also because he (with ~28rating points) did have the same ppm like a player with only 14 rating points.. As well there were pretty much guys with ~15 rating who did also pretty good ppms.

2)http://et.trackbase.net/session/92160/
You did probably get minus rating because you had only 4 ppm more than a player which hasn't even got 10 rating points.
Of course the k/d ratio is important but you need to take into account which stats other players have had and how much their rating is.

For Example:
Player 1 rating 20 20ppm
Player 2 rating 4 16ppm
Average rating 8 14ppm

Player one would get -rating, player 2 +rating and the other players would need to be sorted between and above/below these two players.

We don't want to be like SL for sure and imo it would make players with a high rating getting even more rating. And it's not really like that, it depends on ppm and way more stuff, not only about rating.
But take always into account the following things:

• Your rating

• Your ppm

• Your k/d ratio

• the rating of the second best player and his rating

• Average rating / ppm
