Middle-earth CCG Official Ranking System

by Chraig 'Ichabod' O'Brien, for I.C.E.

The System

Winning / losing

The pool

At the start of the tournament each player donates 10 ranking points to the pool

At the end of the tournament the points in the pool are distributed according to the table at the next sheet, based on each players final standing

All final standings are important, so try to break all ties using the tie braking rules

Dropouts do not get ranking points from the pool (as they do not achieve a final standing); this may cause some RP's to be lost (not redistributed)

First ranking

The first time a player is ranked he / she starts with 500 points, plus 20% of his / her points over 500 (if any) in the final ranking of the previous season

Only points over 500 are taken into account, a player never starts a season at less than 500 points

After the first ranking the changes in RP's are added to the players previous RP total

Examples

Alex played in a 15 player tournament and ended up 2nd with 3 wins and one loss. His previous ranking is 521. His new ranking is: 521 + 3 - 1 - 10 + 24 = 537 (previous ranking + wins - losses -10 RP's for the pool + 24 RP's for 2nd place in a 15 player tournament (from the table) = 537)

Eve played in a 23 player tournament, she won twice and lost twice and ended up in 14th place. She has not been ranked yet this season. Last season her final ranking was 486. Her new ranking is: 500 + 2 - 2 - 10 + 10 = 500

Phil played in a 10 player tournament. He won the first round but lost the second and dropped out after that. His previous ranking is 495. His new ranking: 495 + 1 - 1 - 10 + 0 = 485

Note that Phil does not get a final standing and therefore no RP's from the pool, even though he might have more tournament points then the players ending in 8th and 9th place. Phil may have dropped out, but the tournament is still ranked as a ten player tournament

Olivia played in a 26 player tournament, she won three times, lost twice and ended up in 5th place. She has not yet been ranked this season. Her final ranking last season was 526. Her new ranking: 500 + 5 + 3 - 2 - 10 + 16 = 512
