It's about that time. Everybody who will be participating in this years tracker system sign-up in here with your PSN and AIM.
^ Link to new tracker system. Sign up with your contact info here, and then make your way over. Here is a quick breakdown of how things will work:
1. You can select the ladder that you want to play in, as many as you would like. You can also leave these ladders if you want to. Simply click "Join Ladder" Under the description.
2. From here you can see the current leaderboard. For games to count on the ladder you MUST challenge the other user. When you challenge another user they receive a PM. as soon as they read the PM and accept the challenge you can play.
3. After playing you can go to current challenges, "Your Challenges". From there you input the scores of the game. Both users DO NOT have to input the score, although by clicking in the same button the loser must confirm that the score is correct. You also have the option to post a screenshot, for proof. I don't think any of us will need this, but it's still a nice feature.
4. Now that your score has been input and your opponent confirmed the score you are all set. The leaderboard will update and you are ready to find a new challenger.
5. Leaderboard scoring. The ELO scoring system looked pretty nice when myself and Argath tested it earlier. Our first game we were both 0-0. We input a win for me 21-14. I gained 3 points, he lost 3 points. Now I was the number 1 ranked player, and he was second. We input a new game, where we selected him as the winner 31-15. Because he beat the player with a better record, and by a decent margin he received a 20 point boost, while I lost 20. We don't have the exact science of the formula in writing. But it seems to be a good formula based on opponent skill level and scoring differential.
Any other questions feel free to contact me or Argath. And like he stated earlier, if you would like to start a tournament or need another ladder added feel free to contact Rush, Leftwich, Argath, Point Blank, or myself.
