Shelby, MI
So I personally have 1914.64 ranking.
What does this do for me?
Is this good? Are there ranking ranges where people like me know if they are on track?
(1800-1900, 1700-1800, etc)
Thanks in advance,
Aaron

Quoted from Russell:So, you think that the total amount of points given out is not expected to change?
Based upon my reading of the rules, the total amount of points given out will fall sharply, but I'm not sure.
If my suspicion is correct, that strongly favors players with points already amassed before these changes were made. In other words, past performance is more valuable than future performance. At least, that will be true for the next 3 years, until the only remaining counted events are those counted under the new rules.
For example, I just played in the Ultimate Pinball Carnage in Denver. I took second, and got 11.42 points. Last year, second place was worth 19.67 points.
Unless I'm missing it, I don't see any tournaments where the points actually went up...
If my observation is correct, it Just became harder for hacks like me to make progress up the ranks.
There are 3 categories in IFPA:
1) WPPR Ranking
2) IFPA Rating
3) Efficientcy Percentage
You can try to focus on your player rating and eff percent. Those 2 will really show how skillful / consistent a player you truly are.
A lot of emphasis is placed on overall points, sure, but looking at all 3 categories of a player can tell you their whole story.
Simply click on the WPPR, rating, and eff per categories for it to sort.
