Temporary rankings as of week 20.02

[FrogMan]

Here are the rankings as they stand after this week's league games. Since the cup matches are still to be played in the week and many teams may get better ratings in their cup match than in their league match, they will remain unofficial until after the cup matches for the week. On Wednesday, I will start a thread asking you to post your ratings for your cup match if you think they are better than your league match rating. Only teams that will have posted their cup ratings before the deadline I will have set will see their best ratings (between league and cup) used for this week. Once I will have posted the official (and final) rankings for the week, I will not go back and adjust for past weeks. Keep your eyes opened on Wednesday.

I'll get to the rankings in a moment, for now, some explanations...
- TW stands for "This Week"
- LW stand for "Last Week"
- The first set of numbers (to the left of the team names) represents the relative ranking of every team. A blank in either column means that team wasn't ranked that week.
- The second set of numbers (to the right of the FOFC member name) represents the rankings points scored for the last two week.
- The rankings points for a given week are calculated using a weighted moving average of that week's NSI points and the score of the previous two weeks' NSI points.
- "NSI points" is the sum of all your position ratings from your game report, with midfield counting as triple its value
- Ratings are scored with the base value set at disastrous = 1, wretched = 2, and so on.
- If your team doesn't play its game because of a walkover, your rating for the game in question will be ignored in the weighted average and the remaining ratings will be used.
- "exper" stands for the number of weeks of Hattrick experience the user has, that is the date of the day minus the date he got his team, divided by 7.

Below, you will find a text formatted version of the rankings, but they are available on the web,

Also, if you want to see who has done particularly well (or bad) this week, there's a "tops" page, on which you can also see every team's game ratings for week 20.02. Someday, there will be a link straight from the rankings page, but for now, it available only from here:

That's about it for me, enjoy the rankings. As always, your comments are welcome and bragging is encouraged If you have any question about my very scientific methodology, feel free to ask

The NSIs you haev there is what I have in my spreadsheet, however, what appears above is your rankings score. It's a weighted average of your last three weeks with a weight of 3 being placed on the latest week, a weight of 2 on the second latest and a weight of 1 on the oldest of the three weeks.

For your team, this week's rankings score is (49*3 + 46*2 + 43*1) / 6 = 282 / 6 = 47. Same calculation can be made for last week to end up at 44. What's draggin your team's ranking score is that 43 you posted two weeks ago...

FM

[FrogMan]

hey, what's up? Kevin you deleted your post or what?

FM

[KevinNU7]

I realized I was a bonehead and you weighted it.

That 43 was a trainee game. No worries.

Next week, you'll see a boost to your rankings score, simply when this game will go out of the equation...

[thealmighty]

In 32nd place, up 19 spots, and I am tied for last in my series. Sucks for me.

[TargetPractice6]

I'll reclaim the 3rd slot next week that is rightfully mine

[NAIWF]

I shall rise again, on Wednesday, when I face the EVIL Arkham Avengers who might ruin my season by beating me when I'm getting 14 new supporters per update just before a big home game against # 2 in the series.

If I get lucky and beat them I'm sure to lose the following week, but I don't have a home game then, so it's OK. In other words, do the right thing and throw the game nyarlahotep

Wow -- there's what a B-team PIC will do for ya. Needless to say I'll be going with my cup ratings this week

[TonyR]

Woah, top 40...but i think i'll drop after cup game

[DukeRulesMAB]

My Cup MOTS should help my rankings a touch.

MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! We shall crush you like a beer can on our forhead. Now that we have returned to our spot in the top 15 we will destroy all who oppose us. I will play my meanest, nastiest, ugliest players and demand that they cripple your two best starters and burn down your concession stands.

PS- In the unlikey event of you losing, your supporters shouldn't be effected much since you are technically the underdog in this game.

PSS- Thanks as always FM.

[YoSoySean]

Blah... I am disappointed in my ratings this week. I blame it on my keeper's weak form... he's pretty much my whole defense.

[daedalus]

Whoa (Keanu-style). A week that we didn't drop in ratings.

Thanks for the excellent work as always, Frogger.

[PilotMan]

Thanks Frogman,

Your great work makes this group stick together.

I am very excited about our move back into the top 10, I would really like to win on wednesdayy and stay in the Cup, but I am not sure if the B team feels up to it.

[bigjdotcom01]

33 48 West Henrietta FC bigjdotcom01 57.5 53.8

51 62 Negative Waves moriarty 53.8 50.8

Should make for an interesting 3rd Round US Open Cup matchup.

[lytic]

So bigjdotcom01, are you missin Beckys babes?

[Mr. Wednesday]

Frogman, quick question, what are your weightings? I'm developing rankings for another federation and I'm interested in doing something similar to the FOFC rankings.

Se my reply to Kevin's question. I always use the 3 most recent weeks. For example, for this week, the equation is this:

(3*20.02 + 2*20.01 + 1*19.14) / 6

Where 20.02 is the NSI for week 20.02, etc...

The weights are 3, 2, and 1 and I divide by 6.

whoa- kinda a big hop back into the top 15; I remeber the last time I was here...it was great...then I slipped all the way back to the 30s

Also-
9 Louisiana Cyclones 69
9 Intercourse Ball Kickers 69
YoSoySean- you'd better watch out I might just take the division this year :-P . . . or I could finish the season without winning another game depends on how the form gods treat my team

Cool, that's almost exactly what I started with -- I used 50%, 33%, and 17%.

And somehow I missed that it had already been posted in the thread. :o

Well, you got exactly the same weights, with only the percents rounded, that's all. 3/6 is 50%, 2/6 is 33.333% and 1/6 is 16.667%...

No biggie. Good luck with your rankings!
