Trench Wars Earned Placement League .. TWEP

In post #20 of this thread I gave an idea for a hybrid tournament that combines a short TSL season that would create an earned placement ladder that would be used to select from to form starter positions...

I always try and help when i pub by jumping on teams less balanced.. On another note, I'd like staff to warn or ban steadman for constantly ruining pub matches by team killing. He does it every time he is in pub and I report it and nothing is done.....

Qan I'm not trying to make this elim rating stuff an attack on you personally so unsure why you seem a little huffy towards me. I read all you write but as I posted above I did not ever see the actual equation posted anywhere on the spreadsheet so I was confused...

Qan, all I am doing is trying to help get a better and simpler rating system while sharing my opinion with what is wrong. If you see that as me saying "I've got all the answers" or "just do everything my way" you have misunderstood my last...

I went over the sheet and the full equation is not really clear at all as the mathematics is written in words with many values missing it seems. The Test Values seem to have no equation total on page 1 either. I feel confidence being part of ratings calculations...

So instead of earning a place as an individual you would rather allow stacked squads along with borrowing enabled to further skew results to dictate who plays in next league? I fail to see how that is a good representation that allows each player a chance...

Have a TSL gaming format for 4 weeks on preset times and dates which will create a ladder for individual player stats in each league. DD, JD and BD ladders will be formed by this.

Then create brackets of 10 players (if we use 10 squads) in descending...

Can we just do away with this adjusted rating / confidence stuff? It is obviously bad and plays into the hands of inactives who only play large populated elims. The player Luka is a prime example of how it is skewed, They played 20 games and are ranked above...

If you are having trouble reading it use ctrl and + to zoom in on your computer view. Hate screenshots sometimes squeeze text.. I can't make any rhyme or reason out of this ladder though lol....

[Jessup]

I'd like to submit that this formula used for elim ratings is really bad and has major flaws. The proof it is broken is abundantly clear now after it has run consecutively for many months and the ratings ladder listed currently makes very little sense and...

I approve of Exalts message on this topic. Trump has become so bad now that defending him is literally impossible.

[Jessup]

I already did contribute.. for 21 years. I explained earlier what needed to be done to save this game in a meaningful way here and now I'm explaining why the game is failing and so lame.. and YOU are a big reason. Due to your constant obnoxious dick trolling...

[Jessup]

Sure .. limp along with no growth and only downward trends many more years. This has been the case for 15 years... 15 years ago the game was one year after its peak and still doing well. The contrast from then to now is stark. I'm really turned off by whats...

[Jessup]

LOOOOOL this guy talking about not wanting to piss people off.. comedy gold from one of the zones worst trolls who constantly harasses any1 not in his dick click squad. Literally had to perm ignore you cause u pm squads and teamates and myself rudely EVERY...

[Jessup]

mean gene .. lol . ur a really bad warbird. Dunno why you gotta insult me but I'll return the favor. You now a member of the Dick Clicks running this final stand shit show on this doomed game?? You said nothing of any significant consequence after saying ...
