Major Additions - TIO/FTL Compatible Ranking Ladder System LITE

This ranking system is based very loosely on the Association of Tennis Professionals ATP Entry Ranking System (as apposed to their ATP Race System). What this means, is that players are ranked by the total scores of their best performances within a specified time period. Using this system solves many problems within other ranking systems; especially race systems that tend to give preference to players who attend the most tournament events. This system ensures a more accurate calculation on the relative performances of players.

With this system, a player's rank is calculated using their best scores within a specified time period. Stronger players are not penalized because they had a "bad day", and weaker players are not rewarded by attending the most events. By specifying best scores limit, a player's weakest performances will be ignored in the ranking calculations (provided that player attends enough tournaments to exceed the limit). By specifying a time period, the system will automatically weed out stale rankings and remove players who are no longer active.

What is this mod?

Using this system, you can put together a fully featured ranking system for your tournaments. The purpose of this system is to give users a method to calculate rankings for all manner of events, even events that exist outside the spectrum of your forums. Because of this, this mod does NOT integrate with your forum user database; if it did, people who attended your event, but are not members of your forum, would be left out and it would skew the point values for events.

3. Import the product "product-rankingladder.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. OPTIONAL: Import the VBAdvanced RankLad module into your VBAdvanced Pages.

Upgrade Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. Take note of the information stored in Ranking Award Values of Ranking Ladder Settings.
3. Import the product "product-rankingladder.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Re-establish your previous Ranking Award Values settings in Ranking Ladder Settings.

NOTES:

• Before you can add any event listings, you must have both a category, and a game to assign it to.
• Before you can add any scores for an event, each player in your event must have a Ladder-ID (INT).
• When adding scores to an event, you need to input their earned rank (INT), and their Ladder-ID (INT).
• If you are using the PRO version, you should put a player's Ladder-ID as their "Name" field in TIO. Then use the "Edit Existing Event" link and use the "Upload Scores from TIO" form. If you properly added all of your player's Ladder-IDs in your TIO file, the script will automatically add all scores to the event with a single click.
• If you are using the PRO version, you can automatically generate bracketted results based on the event.
• You should only need to use the "Rebuild All Events" function if your change the modifier values for your categories or awards; then you will need to rebuild all events to recalculate the scores for events.
• In order to recalculate scores for player, you will need to run the "Rebuild All Players" function; I do it once a week.
• Immediately after running "Rebuild All Players", you should also run "Rebuild All Rankings" to calculate ladder positions.

Don't forget to click INSTALL!

Try this file and tell me if it works... if it does, I will add it to the main file.

Could this be intergrated to work with WoW? I run a pretty large private server and one of our realms has Arena seasons. We be great to have a ladder to update the standings daily with. All arena information is stored in a database table.

This mod is not used for the act of RUNNING tournaments. For that, you should be using TIO. This mod is used to calculate the rankings and results based on already completed events. Based on that, you can use it for ANY game.
