Yes, there is a ranking system for duels:

/topic/3834/

Also, the calculation formula has been slightly modified, and some items have been added to the rules:

/topic/3836/

As for Ranked Tournament Arena (RTA), I'm not sure; it seems they were also planning to keep track of scores.

But in general, no one is dueling anymore; apparently, everyone (including me) has gone out into the sun, swimming, etc. And that's probably a good thing :D

Since I promised to start calculating the player rating after the current HW TOP-8 tournament, I want to explain how I plan to do it:
I didn't want to reinvent the wheel, so I decided to use the Elo rating system (like in chess). You can read about it, for example, here. In this tournament, all players were initially given a rating of 1000, and points were awarded only for wins during the group stage (points were not deducted for losses). All players who made it to the final stage were awarded an additional 40 rating points. There, both wins and losses will be taken into account. In each subsequent tournament, new players will be given a starting rating that is 50 points lower than in the current tournament (i.e., 950 in the next tournament).
What do you think?

Where will this rating be displayed? Will the rating only be for tournaments? Will it be maintained programmatically or manually?

I think I'll create a separate thread for the ranking. Yes, the ranking will be based only on tournaments. What do you mean by "programmatically"? I created a formula in Excel; I enter the ranking of the winner and the ranking of the loser, and it shows me the change in ranking for both.

By “programmatically,” I meant using the database and source code of this resource. It’s a shame that it’s only for tournaments. Others who aren’t ready for tournaments or didn’t have time to register for them would also be interested in playing for a rating. For example, you could create Seasonal games like in Heroes of Might and Magic III. The rules wouldn’t take long to create. And there would be no fewer people interested than in the tournaments: new players regularly appear who want to play online...
And it seems like there’s some kind of rating on the site now. At least there was one for 2009.

I have no access to any databases of this resource. I am not even a moderator. As far as I know, it wasn't managed properly, and I'm starting to manage a new one, and besides, I have a different system. No, I will only keep records of tournaments, because it's not worth keeping records of friendly matches, and it would be more appropriate...

That's a pity... Although, I don't think the technical implementation of calculating the rating would be very difficult; the main thing is to have a competent programmer and access to the database and source code (I think the Creator wouldn't mind for such a thing as a clear and convenient online system for calculating the Rating).

P.S. It's possible to think that games in a tournament for the rating are less friendly than games that would be played during the season for the same rating. The only difference is in the form and minor details in the rules...:smile30:

On the portal, there used to be seasonal ranked games, but it seems like that didn't work out very well. I think it wasn't very popular.

O.K. I hope everything goes well with your new venture... :)
