The ranking system should really change. How about something like this : don't sort on the number of games won, sort on the DIFFERENCE between games_won and games_lost. That way, you won't have someone who is at 4-0 stand at the 25th place. (Well, probably not, anyway) So, these could be your sorting keys : 1> the DIFFERENCE between games_won and games_lost 2> the number of games won 3> the number of games played (if you win more in less games, you should be in front) 4> something else, perhaps past results between players? So, what do you think? Any comments are welcome. Sam. ( a.k.a. Ungharr (12-8) and Flash (4-4) ) we42556@vub.ac.be Referenced By Up
