X-Wing squad ranker... offline?

By iain, in X-Wing

There used to be a fantastic Squad Ranker, which was a compilation of all the tourney winning lists and what they have won. It was run by forum user "stmack" and was at http://xwing.macker.co/ . I think forum user "MajorJuggler" might also have helped out.

The site now seems to be offline. Does anyone know what has happened to it?

Assuming it stays that way, does anyone know of any replacement for compiling previous winning lists?

Thanks very much.

Hey sorry, that was mine, it's back up now!

Had to move hosts and was focused on getting my fantasy football site back up first... then realized while getting hyped up for World's I had never brought it back up.

Still working through adding results I had been behind on, have the top 4 added for all tournaments now and then am going to work backwards to add top 8s and top 16s to tournaments where appropriate. Also added a weighting so that results lose 2% of their value a week, this is a value I'll play with to make sure the lists stay relevant to the changing meta.

Sweet. Very nice. Was not aware of this site, and was constantly going through MJ's reports (on this site's threads) to see what was happening. I like being able to see everything at one place, via the web. Good job.

Interesting. How are you weighting squads to find "most successful"?

Thanks!

Definitely needs some work, slapped it together one weekend in the spring and haven't done much since aside from updating with latest tourny data. Thinking of changing up the pilots page so it shows a list of individual upgrades instead of all builds so it's not as cluttered (the Falcon pilots are the worst for this). Then be able to click one pilot+upgrade combo and see builds filtered down including both.

Hi Vorpal, right now it's points based on finish (5 for 1st, 4 for 2nd, 3 for top 4, 2 for top 8, 1 for top 16) multiplied by the sqrt of the attendance then weighted based on how recent it was (* 100% - (days old / 3.5)).

Could probably use some tweaking, I didn't want the attendance factor to over power everything which is why I went with square root of it... not 100% happy with it at the moment though.

I wasn't aware of this either. This is fantastic. Thank you for making it.

Would love some feedback by the way if anyone has any. Is there info missing that you'd like to see or is something not displayed or organized as effectively as you think it could be, etc?

Just saw this. Very nice.

I'm very numbers-driven, so I've had dreams of a site like this. How did none of us know?!?!

Alright squeezed in a few updates to the layouts, particularly to the pilots page, can filter builds by selecting an upgrade now and also condensed squad lists by using a multiplier when the same build was used twice.

Was not aware of this site. It looks very useful. Thanks!
