So I was looking at AFMs xwing ranking system, then I looked at the magic ranking system. I really like the plainswalker concept so I was thinking this would be a great way to get rankings

If you win a tournament, or get the most wins at a gamenight, you get the amount of points that there was players. Then you take that number and multiply it by the below numbers.
Standard game nights equal a multiplier of 1

a tournament would have a multiplier of 2

a regional would have a multiplier of 4

If we could get the TO for ffg to release score cards for worlds, an even higher multiplier

A standard game you could get upto 8 points using ffgs system.

(say there is 8 people at a game night, 24 + 8 = 32 potential points for the winner)

use of single elimination for regular game nights to determine the winner (once you lose, you will still track points by playing other players, you just wont be in line for the bonus points)

tournaments can still use the swiss system.

I want feedback on this. Should the points be different? do you like this? do you hate it?

I personally think something like a ELO ranking system would work best. That way, if you are only playing against the same people over and over again there is a limited number of points you can gain. This way it encourages people to play people in other metas and venture into online play.

I think it would be fun to see, but not essential.

It comes back to an issue of "whats an event" whats a game night. Some people get kits and play with there friends, some stores run leagues some just run a weekly tournament. I think that FFG should allow stores to "certify" a TO and then maybe the TO can submit something online to the database.

It would be fun though

Seeing that ffg just got cardgamedb, I would say if there was some type of community driven operation with some sort of standard there is a good chance that ffg would pick it up.

So why not do it like this: have anyone who wants to qualify as a TO email an organizer, the organizer would then send a confirmation email, and after confirmed, send a bunch of rule questions to the potential TO who has x amount of time to respond.
This will ensure the TO knows the rules, however this wont stop those stupid judges who are corrupt and dont care to do rule properly (as we see with magic judges all too often)

If anyone has an algarytham they want to suggest, Id be happy to hear.
Seeing ffg with cgdb makes me quite happy (I troll the site atleast 3 times a weeks and am a dedicated listener to the smugglers podcast)
