I was talking about how the game itself calculates the score, and it takes many things into account. And even if players complete the game in the same number of days, they will have different results.

In my opinion, the game will give you such a score that you won't be disappointed. Sometimes, player A completes a map in fewer days, while player B takes more days, but the game gives player B a higher score. I'm not making this up; it's a real case. It was observed in the 4th game during a trading tournament on HP. That's why, at the beginning of the tournament, it's specified what they're playing for – speed or score? Therefore, linking the score calculated by the game itself to the player's result in days is quite complicated. When playing for score, it doesn't matter how many days you spent on the map (although the days are also taken into account); the main thing is to have a higher score. And when playing for speed, the score plays a secondary role (like mercury) to rank players with the same number of days. Therefore, you can't combine the score from the game itself and the result in days. And why are people trying to dilute the main parameter for determining the winner in a tournament with all sorts of secondary parameters?

We won't find an ideal system for calculating everything, but we can define how to calculate the Elo rating, and then apply it to other tournaments. Instead of aging, it's better to come up with or use something similar to the suggestion from the forum veteran "natasha":
for example, each player starts with an initial capital of 1000 rating points, and it changes depending on their performance in tournaments. The more skilled players you beat, the more points you gain, and they lose. This way, we can also solve the issue of annual resetting. Even someone who joined in June can beat the leader a couple of times and score more than they did in a whole year!!!:smile49:

If "natasha's" system was so good, why wasn't it considered when publishing the ranking tables throughout all six stages of the Kanighem tournament? I don't think that AlexPank or AmberSoler were unaware of this system.
