Here are the top 100 arranged by TAZD. The TAPL and TAZD are described on my Wall. At least 35 games played in the month are needed to qualify.

Its only purpose is to reward players who played as many games as possible. |

at 7:23 PM, Monday June 1, 2009 EDT Skrum, mostly joking. Although I think TAPL/TAZD will always be dominated by people that play the friendly game and are willing to accept lower than maximum possible position to avoid the lower positions. I used to prove that you could handle the 6th/7ths and still win points with low total games, now I suck so it is all academic.

at 2:23 AM, Tuesday June 2, 2009 EDT i believe the current ZD(zero datum)-distribution is this one
09.4 09.2 10.6 12.7 16.7 19.1 22.3 while the PL(pure luck)-distribution is of course 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 skrums wall says that this is the formula for calculating the TAPL/TAZD (Sum of (expected %-actual %)squared/expected%) x square root of games x 1000. the sum is taken over all possible placements (1st,...,7th). The difference between TAZD and TAPL is that you insert different values for the (expected%) in the above formula. Consider someone has a perfectly even distribution of placements (14% each). That player would have 0 TAPL, because the term (expected %-actual %) always gives 0. However this player would have a TAZD larger then zero. What i dont like about the current TAZD is that it is rewarding lots of 2nds more then lots of 1sts. My suggestion for a new measure of skill is a modified TAPL, that only measures positive skill, by introducing a factor to each placement. place 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th factor 3 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 something like that. but maybe that last paragraph should go to the blog. |

at 8:09 AM, Tuesday June 2, 2009 EDT I think that the reason for second being lower than first for the TAZD is that there are too many flags for second among the top players.
Thanks Shevar for describing the TAPL and TAZD for the thread. The stuff on my Wall is a bit hard to find and the percentages for the zero datum are out of date. Maybe I can do a recompute for the zero datum since the new scoring has been in place for a while and people have had more time to adjust. Incidentally, the 6-month TAZD competition will be opening soon. |
