MLL Week 4 - The King is Dead, Long Live the King

[Paxosmotic]

Who the hell is Aargh57, and why can't he be stopped?

Want to sign up for the MLL? Just contact anyone in the roster about playing a game, post the results, and you're in. So so simple. Post here with any questions you might have.

The Micro Limits League is a heads-up league in the style of college football. All players are free schedule their own games and determine their own path through the league. Your results are based on two things and two things only : how well you played and how tough your opponents were. There's no handicapping by ending up with a tough path through the bracket, and you'll never have to be concerned with getting your results in by a specified time. This is your league.

How it works - Visit the MLL thread for a given week, where you will find a list of all MLL members. If you'd like to challenge someone, the recommended way to set it up is to send them a PM on the subject and leave them plenty of ways to contact you. Or you can hammer it out through the PM. The time of the game is entirely up to you, the only thing required for the league is that you play a 25BB .02/.04 freezeout. That way no one's losing more than $1 at a time. At the completion of the game, it's customary for the loser to post in that week's thread saying who they lost to. If the loser forgets to post it within a few hours, the winner can post it. At that time, I'll plug your game into my incredibly complicated matrix, run it through many filters, translate it to French, and include it in the next week's wrap up.

MLL Week 3 slowed down a bit farther. I've decided to set the bar at 3 games played to get some more people in the rankings and encourage some activity.

Next week we will begin the MLL Challenge Series tournament, as well as all gather together to cower as Paxosmotic returns to active status in the MLL roster. I plan to dominate the rest of the season kiddies, so look out.

My opponent didn't bold his text properly, but his post was in the correct general format. From the previous thread:

Winner: MrWookie47
Loser: Sting99
Comments: Total Domination. Over in 48 hands.

[/ QUOTE ]

I should be at 3-5.

You are 3-5. You're also not ranked or listed in the first post.

[MrWookie47]

Ah, ok. I guess I need to review just how this ranking thing is handled. I thought that win percentage was the #1 factor, and then strength of schedule second, meaning all people at 3-5 would be grouped together. I saw you at 3-5 with bottomset below you, and not me, so I was confused.

Paxosmotic : 37.5 win percentage, 54.7 strength of schedule, 41.59 opponents strength of schedule = 43.0 rating

Bottomset : 40 win percentage, 40.38 strength of schedule, 56.45 opponents strength of schedule = 42.46 rating

MrWookie47 : 37.5 win percentage, 44.64 strength of schedule, 49.90 opponents strength of schedule = 41.31 rating

Beat tougher opponents. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Win % is the number one factor, but strength of schedule affects rankings too and moves people up down and around. Win % accounts for 57.14% of your rating.

[PygmyHero]

Pax - I'm glad you made this post because it reminded me of something I was curious about. I was hoping you'd share the forumla you're using with us.

Since you give that win % counts as 57.14% of your rating and gave a few examples, I calculated that SOS counts for between 28.54 - 28.59% of your rating, and that opponents SOS therefore must count for 14.27 - 14.32% of your rating (assuming those are the only three variables you're using). I can't pin it down more accurately with only 3 examples due to rounding.

Of course, I don't know how you're calculating SOS. Anyway, I'm just curious. Maybe I'm the only one?

Pwn Aaron. Limited time offer.
