40K Rankings 2008

<body> <h1><b><font size="5">40K Tournament Rankings 2007</font></b></h1> <p><i>How and why the Australasian Tournament Rankings are calculated</i></p> <p>Warhammer tournaments are regularly held to allow players to come together to enjoy their hobby.  Tournaments in Australia are normally judged not just on if you win and by how much, but also on other criteria such as how well your army is painted, your degree of sportsmanship and the composition of your army.</p> <p>For some, part of the fun is either comparing your skills against other players, or having bragging rights.  Others may just like to see their name on a list of the best players across Australia and New Zealand.  The Australasian Tournament Rankings (ATR) provide this, showing how successful players have been.</p> <p>There are two different ranking systems that have been used.  <a href="../ATR/Figmentia.htm">GT's scoring system</a> ensures that players whose scores in a tournament who were close to each other end up with ranking scores from that tournament that are close to each other.  In this system, the mid point score (before scaling for tournament size) has ranged between 40 and 70.  However, scores for everyone in the tournament will be inflated if a single player scores very low or can be pushed down if a single player scores very high compared to everyone else.  </p> <p><a href="../ATR/IrrForce.htm">IF's scoring system</a> spreads the ranking scores evenly between first and last.  It doesn't differentiate if the difference between places is 0.1 points or 10 points.  In this system, the mid point score (before scaling for tournament size) will always be exactly 50.  Other players scores will be unaffected if a single player scores very low or very high.</p> <p>This site reports the current Warhammer 40K player rankings using both GT's system and IF's system.  <a href="../ATR/YTD_Overall.htm">Overall</a> Rankings are reported both for GT scores and IF scores.  <a href="../ATR/YTD_Battle.htm">Battle/Generalship</a>, <a href="../ATR/YTD_Painting.htm">Painting</a>, <a href="../ATR/YTD_Sports.htm"> Sportsmanship</a> and <a href="../ATR/YTD_Comp.htm">Composition</a> rankings use only GT scores.  The report of how different <a href="../ATR/_vti_cnf/2007_Armies.htm">Armies</a> fare uses only unscaled IF scores.</p> <p>The key thing to remember about these rankings is that this is a seeding system and is not a measure of capability. It reflects how successful players have been, not necessarily how good they are.</p> <p> </p> <p><a target="_top" href="../index.htm">Gosford Gamers Guild</a>         <a target="_top" href="index.htm">ATR Home</a>         <a href="../ATR/ATR_site_map.htm">Site Map</a> </p> </body>
