December 6 : Additional notes
Rating updates would be done per cycle.
Cycle for pick-up games is weekly, weekend is every Saturday.
Cycle for tournaments is the entire duration of the event. In case of long term events, cycle would be up for discussion.
Coefficient (K) will be double for major tournaments such as GT, JAM Cup, Gladiator, etc.
Bonus points (regardless of performance; cumulative) will be given as follows :
1)Joining a major tournament (100) or minor tourney (50)
2)Winning over-all or Best General in a major tourney (200) or minor tourney (100)
3)Winning best sportsman ("your quality will be known among your enemies, and forever you meet them, my friend"... something like that); 50 major tourney, 25 for minor
4) Winning best painted (you look good, that counts for something); 50 major tourney, 25 for minor event
5) Extraordinary feats (killing 2 carnifexes in a game in close combat, for example); 25 pts. Must be nominated by at least one, with concurrence of 3 other.
Ratings will be affected by games outside of Galleria Sector (non rated players). For computation purposes, default ratings of non 101st players are :
Tourney format -
Tourney Champ/Best General - 2000
Others - 1750
Pick-up games - 1750
This should effectively adjust our ratings when gauged against players outside of the sector
This would not be like in mordheim wherein you have auto exp when battling a higher ranked opponent... yes there is a premium but you still have to win to get additional rating points...
One player, one rating ( I nixed my idea of multiple ratings per army you have )

December 5, 2005 :
Here's my proposal on the ranking system.
Our's would be based on the ELO rating system used for chess.
Ranks would be the following :
0000-1199 Private
1200-1399 Sergeant
1400-1599 Lieutenant
1600-1799 Captain
1800-1999 Major
2000-2199 General
2200-2399 Commander
2400-up Warmaster
We all start as privates, at 1000 pts. The basic premise is that your actual performance in a game or a series of games is compared to your should be performance based on your current rating and the current rating of your opponents. You are expected to win over someone with a lower rating, your are expected to draw an opponent with equal rating, and so on...

It also follows that you get more chances to increase or decrease your rating depending on the level of your opponent... yes, your rating can decrease even if you win... no newbie rapes here people... on the other hand, it encourages newbs to challenge vets (all to gain, nothing to lose)
the formula is this :
NR = CR + K (AS-ES)
where :
NR - New Rating
CR - Current Rating
K - variable coefficient (the higher the coefficient, the higher the effect on rating; this varies depending on current rank. The lower the rank, the higher the coefficient for speedier level-up)
AS - Actual Score
ES - Expected Score
Values assigned to K based on rank
Private - 50
Sgt - 40
Lt to Capt - 30
Major to Gen - 20
Commander - 15
Warmaster - 10
Updates in rating will be done at the end of each week (Saturday) and after every tournament. Scoring is W=1, D=.5, L=0
I now have a working worksheet on this and started with our games last Saturday, December 3.
So based on these performances (all started at 1000 so probability is at .5):
Ryan 2W, 1L
Emcee 2W, 1L
Romy 2L
Current Ratings :
Emcee Private 1,025
Ryan Private 1,025
Ian - Beefcake Private 1,000
Ian "Sigis" Private 1,000
Joel Private 1,000
Ronald Private 1,000
Zeb Private 1,000
Romy Private 925
Romy, syensya na... just let me know if you guys want to start over. Good thing about this is if you win or even just draw against us, you would increase your rating more than what we can.
