"Player Rafael is allowed to challenge anyone who is ranked higher than him on his own level, and anyone who is ranked one level higher than he" So not really player with rank 90 playing against rank 1 as you claimed |

i havent heard of rank 90 tennis player beating rank 1 and becoming rank 1... they just get closer to rank 1 and rank 1 will lose points if he looses |

most ladders I have seen are singular like I have described, used in tennis/squash/badminton clubs to avoid having to turn up for tournaments at the same time |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 13:10 |
turkles |
yeah no idea, they seem to have used a pyramid ladder for that one |

3 on third |

how come there's 2 on the 2nd place? :P |

blame the people who invented it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_tournament |

if you have a decent scoring system maintaining ranks is pretty trivial |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 13:08 |
flavius |
and you just need to update all in a batch to "reset" the buffer |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 13:08 |
flavius |
here you can have a buffer |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 13:08 |
flavius |
yes and no, with rankings you have 1 as difference |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 13:07 |
flavius |
its because of your silly rule that admad just specified above :P |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 13:06 |
turkles |
except your solution above is the same thing as changing rankings, your just resetting the rankings after each comparison |

if he says so, what do i know about game play. I am just a dumb coder :slightly_smiling_face: |

madness but the author says it's fun :P |

your suggestion of just storing points was decent but alas this game is wacko |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 13:04 |

@admad we should play it once it's released :P |

"if my player rank 90 plays one game and beats player rank 1" that's the most absurd ranking system i have heard of x) |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 13:03 |
flavius |
this should be problem free i think if you "reset" all the points at the default :slightly_smiling_face: |

``` initial standing --------------------- a = 50 b = 40 c = 30 d = 20 e = 10 c beats b --------------------- a = 50 a = 50 c = 41 (30+10+1) c = 40 b = 40 b = 30 d = 20 d = 20 e = 10 e = 10 d beats a --------------------- d = 51 (20+30+1) d = 50 a = 50 a = 40 c = 40 c = 30 b = 30 b = |

depends how many challenges there have been? |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:57 |
neon1024 |
Or at least OVER NINE THOUSAND |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:57 |
neon1024 |
Surely it should be 1337? |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:56 |

they should use points, have a points 1035 headband |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:56 |

Where everyone wants to challenge the wearer of the No 1 headband |

The system makes me think of the anime Afro Samurai |

I love your idea of replacing an integer with an integer to really help simplify things. :,) |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:52 |
turkles |
same problem.. you end up with ties where there were no ties before |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:52 |
flavius |
so make that a -5 for the looser then :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:51 |
flavius |
don't you also loose points in tennis if you fail to win? |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:50 |
turkles |
in your system they now have 70 points, and tie for rank 3, and you have no idea of the madness that would ensure if rank 3 lost there rank based on alphabetical order or whatever is next :P |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:50 |
turkles |
sorry tired.. rank 5 (50) beats 4 (60) |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:49 |
flavius |
you mean rank 4 beats 3? |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:48 |
turkles |
and yes.. lets fix my mistake, rank 3 = 70, rank 4 = 60, rank 3 = 50. rank 3 beats rank 4 |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:48 |
turkles |
yes but you havent solved the issue |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:48 |
flavius |
but internally save as points :P |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:48 |
flavius |
you can show them the ranks |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:47 |
flavius |
you dont have to show them any points mah dud |
| # |
Jul 18th 2018, 12:47 |
turkles |
but they don't use a points system |
