I run a golfing ladder, so the highest score doesnt win...the lowest does. Can someone give me some direction as how to change that functionality? is it possible?

Also want to repeat a previous question. Is there any way to manually add players to a ladder as an admin? and secondly a way to reorder/rerank players as the admin?

Thanx.
Tj.

Anyone having any postbit issues?

I enabled (in Options) for the info to appear in both profile and postbit. It appears in profile but no luck with the postbit.

Is there an error with the Elo Calculator?

I have a guy who is 3-0 he didn't get to #1.

He fought someone who is 2-0 and is now 3-1 and he has dropped down to 25 he is actually now behind someone who is 0-3. In addition it says his longest winning streak is 4, when in reality its 3 since he is 3-1.

That seems off.

I have a few suggestions, I love this mod and I see great potential with it.

The admin should be allowed to decide what score each player on a specific ladder starts with. In other words instead of starting with 1000 points maybe I want them to start with a big goose egg.

I also like the idea posted earlier about a manual ranking style or a possible vote ranking style maybe based off ip address or user or something of that nature. Anyway, keep up the good work.

You (the admin) will advance players to next round, hence you have the power... And there are no "scores" in this mod.

Yes, see that applying to a tournament. But what about a ladder....being able to manually place people on a ladder/adjust their rank?

Also, the mod does request a score when you report a match. It asks for the winning/losing score. And thats how it determines who the winner is of that match.

Something doesn't seem right with the ELO calculator:

No matter what the score is, the resulting ratings are always the same if the beginning ratings are the same and the winner of the match is the same.

Also, the larger the margin of difference is between opponents is the less gain a winning underdog gets. Example:
If a 1000 beats a 1001 the resulting ratings are 1024.92(winner) and 988.46(loser)
If a 1000 beats a 1030 the resulting ratings are 1022.84(winner) and 1016.42(loser)
and so on up to 1000 beating 2000 resulting in ratings of 1000.15 (winner) and 1975.07(loser)
Shouldn't beating a better opponent result in a higher rating than beating a lesser opponent?
Something just seems wrong with this calculator to me.

Ohh sorry I misread it. :p


Anyway sorry can't help you with that, we only run tournaments on our site.. :(

There are so many places where is it configured it would be very difficult to change it to lowest score wins.

And no. If i get a chance I'll add it.

I've just checked and it works fine on my forum.
