North
American Player of Year Race League Table - at 24 July 2004
The
table below shows the position of the 137 players who have
earned points since the last Historicon in the North
American Player of the Year Race. 112 players who played
DBM in this period have not earned points yet this year
and are thus not shown.
The
Player of the Year Race is substantially different to the
overall career ratings presented elsewhere on this
website. The career ratings are the best estimate of a
player's average DBM ability in competition play. They
take a longer view and consider all of a player's results,
both good and bad. The Player of the Year Race is designed
to indicate who was the top player at their peak (measured
over up to 3 or 4 tournaments) with no penalty for poorer
performances.
The
Player of the Year Race is based only on results in the
year to Historicon (starting from Historicon 15mm NICT
02). It gives greater reward to good performances and
ignores bad performances. A limited number of performances
are included (equal to 14 rated games) so that almost all
players will have a chance of being on a comparable basis.
Points
in the Player of the Year Race are earned by an above
average performance in any tournament. This is measured by
having a Ratings Equivalent Performance (REP) greater than
2,000 in a particular tournament. The REP is now shown on
the right hand side with other tournament result details
in the full alphabetic, state specific and Top Players
tables.
The
points earned for each rated game are:
= 0 if REP < 2,000 or played only 1 rated game in
tournament
= (REP - 2,000) / 2 if played 2 rated games in tournament
= (REP - 2,000) if played 3 or more rated games in
tournament
So
for example, if Player A plays 4 games in a tournament and
does well (29/40), his REP might be 2,200 for the
tournament, his best ever. He thus earns 200 points per
game (ie 2,200 - 2,000) or 800 points for the whole
tournament and fills 4 of his 14 games.
Only
a maximum of 14 games count for each player. Where a
player has above average performances that involve more
rated games than this, the best 14 games are used.
Please
note that each player's position in the previous league
table is shown in braces after their current league table
position. If a player's career rating has earned them a
ranking in the overall Top Players List this is shown in
brackets after their name.
