Player rating for tournaments across all installments of Heroes.

Wow. I didn't know that mathematicians like you find it difficult to calculate such a rating relative to a virtual player's result in a single day with, for example, four decimal places, and then multiply those numbers by 100 or 1000. The meaning of the rating wouldn't change. First, you champion the idea and philosophy of rating calculation, and when it's offered to you, you start coming up with silly excuses. Although at the same time you claim, "give us a lever and we shall move the earth" — we'll whip up any formula.

There has been no greater stupidity in this thread than the suggestion to set the minimum equal to 1 day. In such a rating variant, it doesn't matter at all who plays or how. The main thing is how many days it actually takes to complete the map, whether 3 or 11. Everything else is just trivial. You get into a tournament with a very fast map = you rake in points; you get into a BB tournament = you collect crumbs.

Refining this calculation by introducing a virtual player into the calculations, relative to whom the strength of each player will be measured, only strengthens this rating system.

It will only make it worse.

I can calculate what I'm proposing — can you?

With such a load, the computer wouldn't care.

And it seems you are unable to grasp my comments on your disputes with Fireball. Although that's understandable — my posts lack nine-story formulas.

Where did you see nine-story formulas? Are you intimidated by a summation sign and 2 multipliers??? Poor thing, how did you even finish school, it must have been a struggle...
And the meaning of your comments is absolutely transparent: your system is the best because it's yours and there is no math in it.

You shouldn't be playing Heroes; you should go to a mathematicians' symposium for a Nobel Prize. Though I think they wouldn't understand you there either.

I'm already ashamed of my knowledge of mathematics.

Moreover, just as FireBall wanted. The distance between first and second place is still significant.

Did you even read my posts? I wanted the rating difference for the top places with the same number of days in a tournament to be greater than for those in seventeenth place.

Is anyone trying to analyze the rating tables for the Kanigem tournament managed by AlexPank???

Yes, we analyzed them, unlike you, who wrote nonsense across a screen and a half. When calculating the BK rating, Alex uses only the oscillator, without a bonus. And you didn't even notice that.

Fireball, look at our results for Heroes 4 across all three systems. For Axe, I got 100 — I physically couldn't get more based on the calculation system; you got 27.27 relative to me on the primary speed criterion. Meaning you got what you played for. However, in other systems, I also get 100, and you get 55.30. The freebie profit is about 28 points !!!!!!

But what does this second place mean? There were simply no players like Zveroboy, Under, and many others I know. Perhaps they would have beaten me, or we would have had the same result, but they would have pushed you down in rank. Accordingly, this reward for a place, which is in no way connected to the result you achieved, makes no sense.

Ratings are awarded for the tournament. You wouldn't award fewer points to Wimbledon finalists just because Sampras, McEnroe, and Borg are no longer playing. People not participating in the tournament receive a rating of 0, and therefore lose to all participants.

The absence of players of the proper level at a tournament should NOT GIVE ANY rating bonuses to a player — this introduces a direct distortion of the game rating for the players.
Do you disagree? Suppose I wasn't there either, then even by my system you would have received a hundred.

Only your system suffers from such a huge flaw. The appearance of another 100 extra-class players at the tournament would not change the ratings of the other participants at all (even yours; I doubt you think that map could be completed in 2 days), but your absence alone would raise all ratings almost 4 times.
And you fail to consider that the same difference in completion level on different maps and in different Heroes will result in a VERY different difference in days. Since you've moved to specific examples, let's recall the 3rd stage of BK. My very first completion of the map took no more than 1.5 hours (of course with cheated elementals) and it was 9 days — exactly your final result (you want to say you spent the same amount of time?). As DmitriyA.S. later showed, this completion can be improved to 7 days maximum. The difference in completion level (skill level) between these results is huge, but in days? Only 2.

And since none of the systems were adopted officially, I've dropped this idea with the virtual player as well, so as not to bother myself with calculations accurate to N decimal places. Now, if you want to improve something, think better about this idea taking into account the reasoning described above.

It's not about the number of decimal places, and if you understand that, then you need to go back to 5th or 6th grade. The idea itself is meaningless.
