Suggestion for TWL qualifications

[Nethila]

Long before you ever played or even farted we had TWT.

and TWT was ditched because...

TWD is fine indeed.... just make the ranking not just about rating... but also about AVG rating of squads you played again...

Just doing (Rating * AVG rating of squads you played) would make the rankings a lot fairer...
This way the not so good squads wont be afraid of playing higher ranked/good squads cause their AVG rating of squads you played will increase... so even a loss vs such a squad might make your superrating(no idea what to call it) go up...

For example... looking at the twd ladder for ld at the moment, would make the following ranking....

New	Old	squads   gp	gw	gl	w/l	cws	bws	avg R 	Rating	superrating
1	1.	Synd	160	121	39	3.1	0	13	1247	1626	2027622
2	6.	Sake	217	150	67	2.2	0	13	1288	1482	1908816
3	4.	Dice	228	151	77	2	3	9	1251	1502	1879002
4	2.	Thunder	208	142	66	2.2	0	11	1239	1514	1875846
5	3.	Diso	176	123	53	2.3	3	13	1244	1505	1872220
6	5.	Ash	168	102	66	1.5	10	10	1200	1490	1788000
7	9.	Rampage	155	97	58	1.7	2	10	1238	1429	1769102
8	10.	Rival	231	100	131	0.8	5	8	1260	1396	1758960
9	8.	BoZ	157	106	51	2.1	3	10	1178	1440	1696320
10	7.	Savang	521	352	169	2.1	1	20	1121	1477	1655717
11	13.	Unleash	224	115	109	1.1	0	13	1285	1281	1646085
12	11.	SYnE	184	105	79	1.3	0	13	1217	1332	1621044
13	14.	Ancs	116	63	53	1.2	0	8	1215	1277	1551555
14	15.	Squad!!	347	188	159	1.2	0	9	1175	1259	1479325
15	12.	Warpath	369	164	205	0.8	0	6	1140	1283	1462620
16	16.	Penet	59	33	26	1.3	0	4	1035	1159	1199565

And yes, I do know pandora would be above penetrate for instance... but i just took the top 16 squads and made a rating of that...

This too me seems more fair... you see some of the supposedly worse squads drop a few places and some "good" squads increase a few...

This is already a way more fair way then how it's done atm... and when it's done this way, only change would be rival getting in over savanger... but i think it shouldn't be done this season, cause then you'd be screwing sav.. but implement it next season so people know about it.. and they are not so afraid to play the squads on top of the ladder...

i personally like it, smart idea pj

[Ignominy]

I like pj's idea but I don't think rating and avg should be given equal weight.

I'd prefer something like 2(rating)*avg, but I'm not set on 2, that number should be determined by a statistical expert. Obviously it should be over 1.
