It isn't good to hear that there's a need to change the point algorithm again, but I understand where you're coming from, Frederik.
I need to think about some things before I post them, but here are some thoughts:
- Keep the competition points, as Albrecht said they're a nice motivator for people to participate in the competition.
- Do I understand correctly, that for the new league position, you want to sum up all the points made in the respective year? I would propose the same approach for user, team and country ranking.
Calculate Top 20 Global Points (/WR Points) + Top 20 Hardware points + Top 10 Competition Points. For the user ranking just the user in their respective league, for the team ranking the highest scores of all team members and for the country ranking the highest scores of all the countrymen.
- Should we discuss getting rid of some of the benchmarks? PCMarks come to mind, or some of the many variants of the 3D benchmarks (lower end 3DMark and Catzilla).
- Would it save coding work to get rid of oc-esports.io and host the competitions on HWBOT again? I mean, we use the normal HWBOT design etc. instead of the oc-esports.io one.
- Can we get the global points back for 3DMark 06?
