Just FYI, some statistics for the current 2023 League

I love managing spreadsheets actually so if nobody else wants to do it, I’m available.
I don’t have nearly as much history here as many others though, so no hard feelings if I’m not suited to the task.

Dear community,

there is a discussion going on right now concerning revamping / overhauling the current ranking system.

While the current system is doing okay and we could certainly just leave it as is, there are some issues with it. How severe are they? I guess that’s up to personal opinion. For me they are major flaws.

I have listed these in another post, over in the league general discussion thread:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1664594

Please also have a look at this post:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1664652

Now I have been working these past few weeks on an improved system and I’d like to introduce it to you.

The spreadsheet is here. I hope it’s easy to understand, but explanation will follow.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTfxxzz_KifSSJTAXSIAUUXGiVEFnzOakleCGT7ho8YpjsqaOqpPswl7LxXhe8vRDHBC0lwElQusU3q/pubhtml

Short and simple version for everyone:

Every player starts at a base rating of 1500.
Wins award points while losses give negative points.
Winning against higher ranked opponents give more points than winning against lower ranked ones.
Accordingly, losses against low ranked opponents reduce ELO rating more thank losing against better players.

That’s basically all you need to know: The higher your ELO rating, the better you are!

Tier levels are included but just serve as a visual cue or a motivation. They don’t have any impact on the ranking.

For everyone interested: Now some more details:

Whenever a game is posted, the Ratings of both Players A and B will change.

The exact formula is:

RAnew = Rating of Player A after the game
RAold = Rating of Player A before the game
K = Factor that increases / decreases the points - more on that later
S = 1 if Player A has won, 0 if Player A has lost
EA = Expected outcome for Player A

What is EA?

Now this might look complicated to some. But what this formula does is easy:
The higher the difference between Ratings of Player A and B before the game, the smaller the absolute value of Ea. Therefore a win against much lower ranked players is not worth a lot, while winning against similar or even higher ranked players is worth a lot more.
For losses the opposite is true.
A win by the current #1 against the current last place will award only meager 4 points for the winner and -2 for the loser.
However, the last player would receive a whopping 136 for a win and #1 would suffer -87 for that loss!

Now the Factor F is important: I set it to 500.
This means, that a player with an Elo rating 500 higher than the opponent is 10x as likely to win the game.

Increasing this factor would lead to a wider field of ELO Ratings, while lowering the factor would squeeze everyone closer together.
I found 500 to be quite suitable for our needs but this might change in the future with more games coming in.

Now the other important thing: The K factor.
This factor is quite high in the first couple of games and then diminishes gradually. This is so a player can rapidly find her or his correct place in the ranking system. A very strong player would not need to play dozens of games to climb to the top - the system would realize the strength very quickly and move that player to the top in just a few games. Same of course for not-so-good players.
The exact numbers are up for debate, but I have for now settled on these values:

We can change these numbers if people think the impact of the first couple of games is too high or too low.

Advantages of this system:

Besides solving the issues I mentioned in my other post, there are the following upsides:

1. Transparency
   Everybody can always see the amount of points a result gave at any time.

2. Climbing is always possible
   ELO is not set in stone. Climbing or falling can always be done: The more drastic the change in skill, the faster the ELO change will be.
   PPG on the other hand was getting more stable with each more game finished.

3. ELO reflects the CURRENT strength
   You can see how strong every player RIGHT NOW is and not how strong the year on average was.

4. No games are discouraged
   No strategic avoiding of games / players anymore!

5. No theoretical end, improvement is always possible
   PPG always has a maximum. You can reach that maximum with your first game! You might need to complete the necessary amount of games to qualify for playoffs but if you go 3-0 against highest Tier, there is no way to get higher than that.
   ELO can always be improved, there is no limit!

6. Filtering
   You can filter the results quickly. If you want to know how a specific player is doing with the Axis, you can find out!

.
.
.
Now this is a work in progress. I will gladly take your feedback and discuss it with the community. The goal is to find a system that the majority is happy with!

Some things are TODO at the moment and I hope I will get to it asap.

1. ELO Decay
   I am planning to implement a decay, if someone is inactive. My idea is that only ratings above the starting Rating of 1500 will decay. The decay could start after 6 months inactivity and then the ELO could drop by 10% per month until it reaches 1500. Please give some feedback!

2. Two different rankings
   I am in favour of a lifetime ranking. However, most of us love the yearly playoffs and we need some kind of requirements to qualify for them. So my idea is to have two columns: One for the lifetime ELO and one that only uses the results of the current year. That way we can see overall ranking and yearly ranking at the same time. We could keep the requirement of 3 completed games in the current year to qualify for playoffs.

3. Factor in bids?
   One idea came up by @mr_stucifer to factor in the bids into the results.
   For example: For every point the bid is above the average bid, the ELO-change could be 5% bigger than usual (and vice versa). I would need to work out the exact numbers. But I’m not sure if that’s even desirable in the first place? Your feedback is appreciated!

Oh wow, so much praise from the gamerman himself. Thanks mate :-)

Yeah I tend to be emotional about being diced, making mistakes afterwards and had to step back a while after getting frustrated.

Then I kinda forgot about the game and now am super happy to be back. Not to enthusiastic yet about PtV but that may be just because I am not used to it.

I don’t know why you waved that Japanese flag at me though haha.

PS: 4 years older, with my 3rd child on the way - although not completely emotionless, I’m sure I can handle bad dice a lot better now ;-)

@gamerman01 said in Post League Game Results Here:

Roboto is clearly not very rusty…
No pun intended

Yeah those were nice. I am having some losses coming in too tough, unfortunately.

I always find it fascinating how in a game that does involve luck in quite a substantial way, some players are still so consistently strong and come out top of the league year in year out.

I am away for a week, so won’t be able to play.
Will be back next Tuesday!
I hope it’s ok if I make my life easier by just posting it here once and tagging everyone that I’m playing against right now, instead of posting it in every single thread.

I was playing around with the exact numbers and apparently didn’t settle on the same number across different versions.

Tiers have no actual meaning and are just a visual cue.
And they add motivation, I think.

I will discuss final numbers with gamerman later, probably after entering more of the historical results.

Huge thanks btw to @mr_stucifer and @farmboy who provided all of the data before 2023.
As of right now, we have everything from 01-01-2019 until now!

First of all, I can’t quite follow @Arthur-Bomber-Harris last post. Sorry, but I don’t understand what you’re trying to say there.
All I can say is, that starting ELO is the same for everyone.

Then the easy answer to @oysteilo first post:
Winner and loser points may differ, when one of them (or both) has less than 11 completed games.

This is because the first couple of games weigh more than later ones. I accomplish that with a “K Factor”, which expresses the amount a game is worth.
That K factor is really high for the first couple of games and then gradually decreases. As @gamerman01 said, the exact values are chosen “arbritrarily”, although of course we thought long and hard about them.

That K factor is essential, because new players all start at 1500, which is almost guaranteed not a perfect rating for them (most newbies are worse than that average, but some might be a lot better too). So we need the system to move new players as fast as possible to where they belong. Normally, a game between two equals awards only 25 (or -25) points. If a new player is actually a 1900 or a 1100 player, those 400 points climb or descend would take a long time without that sensitivity Factor.

Right now, the K factor we settled on is:

As you can see, the first 3 games are worth a little bit more than double the later games.

We can talk about these values, they are not set in stone. But I want to emphasize the importance of bringing new players to their appropriate rating asap. The only alternative would be placement matches - this would mean that new players are not rated at all for their first 5-10 games and opponents would receive / lose just a fraction of the normal worth. I don’t like this option for us.

Now the other question concerning playoff ranking / seeding.

@AndrewAAGamer is correct, originally I planned to use the current year only for playoff seeding. He said he also prefers this and compared it to football, basketball, baseball and hockey.

Now that comparison has one gigantic flaw however: All of these sports are in a league system where every participant has a fixed number of games and the exact same opponents. So it makes sense to start a season with a clean slate.

However, this is not the case with our community. With OOB and PtV, players need to have 3 completed games, with BM4 they need 6. But 3 games are not nearly enough to properly rate a player, especially not if one of those games was an upset (an unexpected loss / win). If we had an entry requirement of 10+ games per year, I’d definitely go for a clean slate every Jan 1!

Our game is more like the other two sports you mentioned (golf or tennis), even though they are still a bit different: It’s impossible to burst onto the scene as a complete nobody and expect to participate in the biggest tournament with only 3 games completed. A first time participant of a Grand-Slam-Tournament has proven himself/herself over many matches beforehand in smaller tournaments. We don’t have that luxury.
I think our sports can probably best be compared to boxing, where everyone chooses their opponents and some have only very few matches per year, while others have some more.

I can change the system to rank playoff seedings only according to results in the current year. Which would mean everyone starts at 1500 (for playoff ranking only). But do we want that?

@oysteilo actually gave a great example!

Oysteilo started the year with OOB rating of 1669
He is 2-1 this year, with both of his wins being almost worthless (against dawgoneit), giving him only +3 each. He lost once against the #1 AndrewAAGamer for -16. Which gives oysteilo a final rating of 1659. Which is more or less the same rating he had for the last 7 years.

ArthurBomberHarris started the year with OOB rating of 1542
He went 5-0 this year, although only one of his opponents was really strong (he defeated #1 AndrewAAGamer!). He gained 110 in the process, which means he significantly improved his rating from 1542 to 1652. This is the highest OOB rating he ever achieved.

They are now almost identical in rating (1652 and 1659), with 32 or 41 total completed games. Which means the rating is very reliable, those two players are very likely extremely similar in strength.

Now it’s a personal decision: Do you think oysteilo should get the higher seed because of his slightly higher rating and the fact he mainainted roughly that rating for 7 years? Even though his rating basically stagnated this year? Then the system should stay as it is.

Or do you think ArthurBomberHarris should get the higher seed because he is on an upward trajectory this year? Remember, Arthur is probably not better than oysteilo (they are most likely equally strong right now) and it is the first time he achieved the same level as oysteilo. But if you think the improvement he showed this year is worth more the system should change to let everyone start at 1500 on Jan1.

Do you think AndrewAAGamer who sits comfortably at #1, with only farmboy being SOMEWHAT close should get the top seeding? He went 7-2 and increased his OOB rating from 1798 to 1830.

Or do you think the 5-0 of Arthur and the 4-0 of Booper this year is more impressive and should give both of them a higher seeding, despite both of them definitely being not as good as Andrew?

My personal preference is the first option, which is currently implemented.
But I can absolutely understand if you value recent results higher than overall strength! This is a system that should be backed by the majority of the community so please: WEIGH IN!

With AAB you mean ABH, ArthurBomberHarris?

We use the overall ranking right now and I would like to keep it as well in the future.

We wouldn’t need it if EVERYONE is like Myygames and plays one version only.

However, some people like Pejon or GeneralDisarray are playing 2 or even more versions. I find it interesting to see if someone is a specialist or a generalist.

But, as you two have already agreed: Playoffs are never based on overall rankings, but rather on type specifics.

The last 100 BM4 games have almost exactly 50% Axis wins.
Bids in that timeframe hovered around +20 for Allies.

Since you are a new player, my assumption would be that an Allied bid of slightly over 20 would be fair if you are Allies or slightly below 20 if you are Axis

I can’t open the savefile with OOL again.
