# Jul 18th 2018, 13:24 turkles so you like ILO
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:23 flavius and then rank 5 gets closer but not rank 1, maybe rank 2 ... and previous rank 2 is now rank 1
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:22 flavius which should make previous rank 1 into 2 or 3 or even 4, depending on the difference between 1 and 2
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:22 flavius rank 5 beating rank 1, rank 5 gets a lot more points than if he beat rank 4... and rank 1 will also loose a shit ton of points if he looses to a rank 5
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:21 flavius should be like this
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:21 flavius but this is still wrong imho
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:20 turkles yes
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:19 flavius and you will only renumber all of the players from that clan, not all of the players from all the clans, right?
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:17 flavius easier to do?
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:17 turkles nothing wrong with it, but I don't see how it is that different
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:16 turkles which means you are basically renumbering all players every game, rather than a small number if the game requires a rerank
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:15 flavius you reset to default after he leaves
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:15 flavius and it fixes your problem if a player leaves the clan
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:15 flavius every game
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:14 flavius so whats wrong with my point system above, you just need to reset to default every time in order to accommodate this
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:13 turkles but perhaps one season they will say no limit, and another you must move one at a time.. I have no idea.. so I make something to suit any rules
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:13 turkles if you have placed your stronger players at the bottom to start then it's a common thing that they go 5 up to play fewer matches
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:12 turkles that is their example, clubs have their own rules. The one I am making can challenge 5 above them.
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:12 admad you are only allowed to challenage a player 1 level up
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:12 admad "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
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:12 flavius 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
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:11 turkles 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
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:10 flavius etc
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:10 flavius 3 on third
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:09 flavius how come there's 2 on the 2nd place? :P
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:09 turkles blame the people who invented it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_tournament
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:08 admad 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
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:05 admad if he says so, what do i know about game play. I am just a dumb coder :slightly_smiling_face:
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:05 flavius madness but the author says it's fun :P
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:05 admad your suggestion of just storing points was decent but alas this game is wacko
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:04 flavius @admad we should play it once it's released :P
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:04 admad "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:
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:02 slackebot 20 e = 20 e = 10 ```
# Jul 18th 2018, 13:02 flavius ``` 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 =
