    What about making the metric whether the player is ranked, rather than rated. Effectively making it so that a player will add to the base points value as long as they have played in ONE IFPA event previously, not FIVE. This would eliminate the brand new player artificially inflating the event value, but reward a league or tourney that gets repeat customers. We have a lot of local players who don't travel much, if at all. Having them have to compete in 5 events locally could take 1-2 years.

    These results are messed up as a direct result of the WPPR changes. I sent a couple emails and have not heard back. Josh, I understand you are extremely busy, so I understand the delay. Could you maybe ask Brian to look at this? Also, what is the submission process going forward for leagues? We run an 11 week league, 3 times per year. In the past I did not have to submit anything, it was just an ongoing thing on the results submission page.

    You will see that the dates do not match and the WPPR calculation was done with 4.0, when it should have been 5.0.

    Quoted from ifpapinball:

    Chris - I had a feeling this was going to be a problem when I saw your results come in over the Pin-Masters broadcast
    All IFPA Leagues need to register their league seasons here:
    http://www.ifpapinball.com/leagues/register.php
    With the overhaul of how Brian feeds submissions to generate results entries, every league needs to be registered so the results entry is waiting for you once your season is done.
    Previously you could simply submit league results anytime you wanted by manually entering the date.
    There was a bug that was displaying the 'latest' league season date as available for submission, so it looks like you just force submitted your 2015 results under the 2014 results entry. This of course overwrote your 2014 results with the ones you submitted
    (Don't feel bad, this has happened a few times with league organizers just assuming we could fix the date on our end - which we CAN'T. Everything is now fed through the original submission entry with respect to the date of the event - league or tournament)
    I'm going to delete the results from entry 7766. Please register that November 2014 season and the March 2015 seasons with us. Once approved you should see the results entries pop up in your drop down box for submission.
    Josh

    Thanks Josh. I just submitted those two seasons using the form.

    Quoted from ifpapinball:

    That meant whoever drew Zach randomly for that first match was really pleased

    I'm sure whoever drew you in the first round was super ecstatic as well!
