3v3 CTF World Rankings
#1
EDIT: January rankings

----------------------------------------

Bored over the last few days, have never really done anything for AC despite being around on and off for four years and I'm a nerd for stats. Introducing the 3v3 CTF World Rankings.

Every 3v3 CTF tournament match played by a clan since the beginning of the year has been used to determine a rating for each clan, relative to other tournament-playing clans. These ratings will then be used to create a world ranking system.

The ratings use the Glicko system, which is a newer, modified, and imho better version of the Elo system. For an explanation on the difference between Elo & Glicko, read this, or if you need an intro to rating systems in general read this.

Rankings will be updated monthly. Official rankings will begin on January 1, 2014, using results of all 2013 tournaments. As far as I can tell, this means only two: the Summer Cup and B} League (ACWC does not involve clans and will instead count towards national rankings, if/when they are calculated).

To be considered a ranked clan, a clan must play ten tournament matches and hold an RD value of 150 or less (context given later). I have already entered every ranked match for 2013 up to November 1, and the resulting RD value & games played for each clan is shown below. Hopefully this will give clans an idea of how many more games they need to play over the next two months in order to be ranked on Jan 1, when rankings are released:

Note that the actual ratings will remain hidden until Jan 1 (the **** in the table): the only visible numbers for now are games played and rating deviation (RD). Ratings will be shown on Jan 1.

HOW TO GET RANKED:
WHICH MATCHES ARE CONSIDERED 'RANKED'/COUNT TOWARDS WORLD RANKING:
CONTEXT FOR RD/HOW RD WORKS (boring):


Proper rankings/ratings will be released on Jan 1, 2014. If I have spare time and there's enough interest i can also calculate national rankings, based off every ACWC since the inaugural one in 2009. 1v1 rankings are also possible, but as far as I can tell, there have been no 1v1 tournaments since the weekend cup crashed at the end of 2012 (outside of a couple of loosely organised LSS tournaments). So therefore 1v1 rankings aren't viable until there is some data (ie. until people play some 1v1 tournaments).

tl;dr: play more B} League games/3v3 CTF tournaments and get a world ranking on Jan 1, 1v1 and national rankngs potentially to come soon as well

(or don't if no one cares)

Ehh but what happens when your clan got DQ in summer cup?

I wrote somewhere in the posts that forfeits don't count against your rating. While normally I don't think that would be right, the nature of ac tournaments involve so many forfeits that I think it would skew the rankings too much, especially when most active clans are only getting 5-10 tournament games a year. In a lot of forfeits both sides are somewhat at fault, and I think it would be unfair to decimate the ranking of a ranked #1 or #2 clan forfeiting to a low ranked clan in that situation. They take enough of a penalty from losing pts/getting eliminated from the tournament.

I'm open to discussion on that though if people think its wrong

Yay


Seems like oNe is ruining their rating by being so pr0 in the B} league :p

Also,
Something we've all known for a while now, but now we have proof.

These are not the rankings. The ratings are hidden until jan 1 (that's the **** on the table). The number is just the rd (rating deviation), basically how confident the system is of your ranking. Higher rd = more uncertain of your ranking. You need to be <150 to get ranked on jan 1

Edit: it just looks like rating because I haven't formatted the table properly, I'm on my phone atm but ill fix it on a computer soon. I promise the ratings aren't that wack

Anyway, good luck bro.

If the tournament is advertised/announced on the AC forums, and screenshots/demos are posted somewhere easily accessible, then you don't need to do anything. The games will already be added (your tournament fits all of this, assuming you/the teams post screenshots, so you don't need to do anything)

Thanks man. Rankings aren't posted until January 1. No website for the moment, I'm going to wait to see if this gets any support. Rankings will get edited into the OP when they are announced so no-one has to dig through the thread

What version of the Glicko system are you using?
Thanks given by:
#21
The original. Glicko-2 is probably a better system but it's designed to work better with larger amounts of games (the guy who designed it suggests 10-15 games per rating period, which is per month in my system). AC doesn't get enough tournaments to make that work, so I went with the original
Thanks given by:
#22
Isn't Glicko system version 1 only for 1 versus 1 matches?
Thanks given by:
#23
Yep. It can be used to rank teams, though. What 'one on one' refers to is that you can't have, say, three teams in the same game. Or you can't rank players individually in a 3v3 system. You are assessing one player against another player, or one team against another team.

Quote:Official rankings will begin on January 1, 2014, using results of all 2013 tournaments. As far as I can tell, this means only two: the Summer Cup and B} League

Every match from both those tournaments between two 'A' teams was used for ratings. ie. games involving a 'junior' team or a second team from the same clan were not counted.
