Working out Average points

Postby Nevah play JJ » Mon Jul 07, 2008 12:35 am

Sorry, I realise there has probably been topics posted about this before, but I am trying to understand how players average points are worked out.

Personally I have 3 different averages:

State ladder
Place: 25
Avg Points: 45.03
Points: 1044.05
Played: 38

Metro South
Place: 1
Avg Points: 49.19
Points: 941.25
Played: 34

Personal stats
Total Points: 1044.05
Total Played: 38
Average Points: 27.48



I would appreciate any help understanding how this is worked out.

Thanks heaps.

The average for the state leaderboard is calculated by taking the average of your best 15 games. Not sure if the regional leaderboard average is done over best 15, or best 10.

You "true" average, ie your overall stats, is simply total points divided by total games.

AHHHHH
I think I follow
So I take the top 15 game scores
add them up
and divide them by 15?

For the state leaderboard, correct.

After doing the math, it looks like the metro south leaderboard is ranked by the best 10 games, not 15. BTW, that's a very impressive season you're compiling! :)

Yeah, it seems to be that all regional leaderboards are based on your best 10 games, while the State is still using the 15 game basis.

On the B&G regional leaderboard, my average is 46.77. While on the state leaderboard, its 36.44.

And just quietly, how awesome a season are certain forum members having? Just check out these positions on the state leaderboard.

14th - rcon.
25th - Nevah Play JJ.
34th - jamo.
36th - xtal.
57th - Me.
107th - Bruce.

<shakes head at references to awesome season = state leaderboard placing>


It is true though, that some people are indeed having an awesome season. Keep up the good work guys.
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

Ah, HAHAHAHAHA!

I actually typed up a message, but never posted it, along the lines of "Ssh, don't let Pete hear you say that, he'll lose all respect for us!"

I assume you're not referring to my good self, Pete. Otherwise I'll be forced to point out how wrong you are ;)
