Quoted from Whysnow:

If anyone out there has and can share the current algorithms for how IFPA calculates and awards points, it would be appreciated.
We are looking into setting up a system that works for all the WI players/TDs and it would be nice to just see the current math behind the ratings and degradation based on strength of player and # of players for an event rather than attempting to reverse engineer it form scratch.
For example, the obvious base value based on number of player is easy.
The TGP is easy.
The more difficult to calculate is the addition to the base based on strength of player and the calculation of player strength.
The also more difficult is understanding the curve of point value and how it changes based on # of players in an event.

Is all of this really that important to running a local tournament? Are you really trying to have your own separate ranking system??? Seems pretty petty to me. If you don't like what they are doing just run your tourneys without IFPA being involved. It seems you are more concerned with rankings then just having a fun tourney.

Quoted from Whysnow:

Cons: no longer IFPA ranked to hunt a magical number (which holds no real value outside of the top 50 players). Sure it is fun, but does not appear to be a major driver in WI pinball.

My point exactly....Do you really need a ranking system for just your state to hold your events???

Quoted from yancy:

It's kinda poetic that the man who saved pinball would go on to father the man who killed pinball. Some real Kylo Ren shit.

Lol funny but are whopper points really that important to people in order to play in a local meet up? Man what did people do before the IFPA was around?!?! Lol
