Life In 19x19

Please put the project up on gitweb or somesuch so folks can read and/or submit patches to the code.

Admins could crunch data and seed 'weekend warriors' in the same classes.

Timezone grouping is a bad idea. The best case is to have groups evenly spread across all zones, random.

prop A looks better.

Also another tweak that may help is to have higher class groups seeded by activity.

eg; high win ratio guys get seeded in gamma I & II
High activity guys get gamma III & IV

goodday.

thx.

I think we need to agree to a definition of active.
To me, 20 game played out of 39 possible is "active".
To expect strong players to play any more "teaching" games in a month is unrealistic.

If "teachers" with a ~10/10 record gets cut down by ~3/33 "students", the teachers won't be coming back ...

My "proposition C" has the advantages of;

Simple to understand for players.
Easy to code for.
Fixes the more obvious score manipulating shenanigans.

Should keep dan guys happy if they are rewarded for teaching kyu guys in lower classes. They get a fair shot at top classes without worry of ...

Give a win bonus of 1/10 or 1/8 points for every win.

Strong players get trumped by weak players who "cheat" the system by piling up meaningless losses.

_______Current-->Fixed

0-13 = 13 points --> 13 points
2-11 = 15 points --> 15.2 points
5-8 = 18 points --> 18.5 points
6-4 = 16 points --> 16.6 ...
