New Tiebreaker Suggestions

*Marc5iver* 5ive Crew Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,354 Joined: Oct 10, 2008 I came up with what I think would be a good way to do tiebreakers, instead of just who signed up first. For any ties between 4th through 10th, just do the cash like a golf tournament. Add the ties prize money together and divide by the number of people tied. The below tiebreakers are primarily to distinguish between 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and the additional prize component. For the Northern Evan Circuit Extravaganza leagues: Races and Deathrace Leagues – Since there are only a couple of events in these leagues, and everyone has to do the same races, the tie breaker could be the average lap time or a total of all the laps times added together. Now sometimes people do not enter every event or week so that might add a slight wrinkle but if the do not enter every possible event, they probably won’t finish in the top 3 places anyways. For the Main leagues, the average lap time would not work since they are run on different tracks and the player has the option to choose between many different tracks. Still need to think on this one. For Combat leagues, it could be the average number of points you scored in each event. Yes, different weapons have different points for scoring a hit, and I believe it is the bigger the weapon, the more points it gives for a hit. If that is correct, then it gives a “bonus” to those willing to enter combats that have larger weapons. Might make doing them with a Tank Gun worth it! Maybe these thoughts will trigger ideas in others who can add to this to make the tiebreakers better than “I signed up before you, nay na nay na nay na!” ......................... vet wv gwextrav e2g marshal pvp4 pvp3 pvp2 Posted Jan 13, 2010, 8:41 am

Single event for all the tied players at a mutually agreed time, same type as the league, ranks in that break ties. ......................... vet wv marshal pvp2 cont Posted Jan 13, 2010, 9:24 am

In the SS Race and DR leagues I tied with Pook, who is in I believe Australia, so we are not on at the same times and were unable to set a time that worked for us both. ......................... vet wv gwextrav e2g marshal pvp4 pvp3 pvp2 Posted Jan 13, 2010, 9:36 am

I sign up all leagues shortly after year rollover...pretty sure I was first signed up for gateway extravaganza... ......................... vet northernsummer deathrce1 raceL1 deathrceL1 ww ped1 sssc paintball semiprocombat ped2 e2g gwextrav gwped combat1 paintladder elmsautumn gateautumn wv race1 combatL1 pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 zom pvp3 circuit1 pvp2 circuit2 circuit3 ss2fl67 slay2013 storm2013 geek triangle198,96,31 Posted Jan 15, 2010, 1:05 am

*Marc5iver* 5ive Crew Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,354 Joined: Oct 10, 2008 I started this thread because of having some actual suggestions, which are in my OP. Joel and I just finished GW Extravaganza and it has caused an even bigger need for a “valid” tiebreaker system, IMO. I won the first two races, with him coming in second place in both and then he won last two races with me finishing them in second so we tied. I was given 1st place which was cash, a laser and a badge while he ended up with second place which was some cash and a buccaneer chassis. I definitely made out on this deal. Whether or not I get elected to the new RC, I think the tiebreaker system definitely needs looked at and revised. I’m not sure how often ties have come up in the past as I have just started placing in the money in last game year or so, but I have been a part of three ties in just this game year alone - SS Race (tied for 3rd/4th), SS DR (tied for 1st/2nd) and now GW Autumn Extravaganza (tied for 1st/2nd). ......................... vet wv gwextrav e2g marshal pvp4 pvp3 pvp2 Posted Jan 15, 2010, 3:42 am
