Player Rating Points

E-mail Print PDF

We are now ready to implement a points based ratings system! This will enable you to gauge how well you are playing compared to others and should prove to be more accurate than averages (which we will still be running) as the rating points will be carried on to each season. Basically, each player has a certain amount of rating points and after each fixture you will either gain or lose points based on how well you play against your opponents. If you beat a player with a high rating, you will gain more points than beating a player with a low rating and conversely you will lose fewer points if you lose to a player with a high rating as opposed to a lower rating.

There are quite a few variables to the system and therefore the rest of the current season will be used to test the variables and adjustments may be necessary before next season. I am basing everyone's initial rating on their averages at the end of 2008 so that players in the Premier Division have ratings ranging from 2000 to 2500, Division One 1500 to 2000 and Division Two 1000 to 1500. Another variable is the maximum amount of points that you could win or lose in a single match which will be set at 32 points. The last variable is the points difference between two players which would mean the full 32 points are won or lost which is set to a 720 point difference.

Despite a couple of problems the new website is now up and running! There's a lot of new features and still more to come. I'll be emailing everybody soon with their username and password as there's a lot more you can do once logged in:

  • Email Newsletters - You can set what you want to receive from us through email. You'll automatically be setup to receive updates about the website, general league updates and your divisional results.
  • Forum - Advertising for players, selling equipment or just want to chat about the game? Here is where you can have your say.
  • Profile update - Change your email, password or add a picture to your profile.You'll be using this more and more once new features are added so make sure it's correct.

Hopefully by the new year the points based ranking system will be up and running!

If you're interested in getting more involved in the website please let me know - we are looking for moderators for the forum.

  • Online score submission - Just log in, select who played, enter the scores and the website will automatically update all the league tables and player statistics!

Unfortunately this will take time to get it all up and running, but I'll keep you all informed as and when new features are added!

I am always open to criticism and suggestion, so any problems or ideas for development please contact me!
