Talk:ThePlayr Tournament Rankings Alpha

For tourney rankings:

Let the points decrease gradually with time (like actual year 100 %, last year 90 %, then 80 % or something)

I have already done that. I weighted the years as follows:

2008 2 x 2007 1.75 x 2006 1.5 x 2005 1.25 x 2004 1 x

I think, 5 years is a good timespan for those rankings. Tournament rankings for just one year don't mean much due to variance, but 10 years do seem a bit much for rankings. What do you think about that?

If you have enough people to do the work, it would be a blast to base those rankings on profit or ROI %. Not sure how to get all the data, though.

Thinking about it, it's very hard to collect all the necessary data. You would have to know the buy-ins of every player for every tournament. A lot of work.
