I was looking at your rankings on the site and wouldnt an Elo ranking system be better then ranking by winning precentages. Percentages only work when theres a small amount of fights. Here in Austrlia and over in yankeeville we use Elo because it is more accurate. Compare our win percentages to where they are placed on the table.

Elo is not exactly the most transparent rating system in the world, although I admit it is a very fair system of ranking (we use it in our shooting leagues in Holland).

i think the whole ranking system will be done over a set number of competition fights but for now to get it up and running it does the job. it can stay as it is for now with envy at the top

Dont worryr Daniel, we already planned for that. Though for now its fine for the next few events, but yes it will be using a different system. Still working on the SQL Database system to tweak how we do it. But for now its fine, but in a few weeks/months or 2 or 3 events time, it will change.

Phase 2 the robot database pictures and info updates went live, the database looks kewl with pictures in it now. Phase 3 will go live Friday night.
