Congrats! @mgleason, can you give "quality points" under "total"? (Example: get 3 pts for 1st, 2 pts for 2nd, 1 pt for 3rd). This would give a better depiction of the leader board.
Event History and Leaderboard - 2017
Sort:
i agree with jrums and also do it for the top 15
to give lower rated players a chance to be on the leaderboard, like myself
but i got 11th, and i want to be on the leaderboard
we had the same amount of points
2nd got banned, so doesn't that make me 10th?

I like this!
May I recommend awarding 10 for first, 9 for second, and so on for the tnmts that aren't part of the big event, and 20 for first 18 for second and so on for the Untitled Tuesdays.

Hmm... that means extra work tracking it all... I might do it, though. It's not like we've got a huge number of events.

The math is easy, and if you make a mistake, someone will quickly correct you!
If you need help, I'm sure there are plenty of volunteers. I may not be the best to do it since my online word processing skills are rusty.

How about the following?
For our main events (the Tuesday event and the following Saturday event)
1st - 15 points
2nd - 12 points
3rd - 10 points
4th - 8 points
5th - 6 points
6th - 5 points
7th - 4 points
8th - 3 points
9th - 2 points
10th - 1 point
For any extra events (hopefully run one of these every month or two):
1st - 8 points
2nd - 5 points
3rd - 3 points
4th - 2 points
5th - 1 point
If that is the way it works the I have a point

I've always found base 10 easiest to work with, and it's what the chess Grand Prix uses. But I understand the need to tinker.
whatever works best for you, since you're leading it.
@mgleason, love it!

The table is now updated. I counted our test-run event as an extra event. Interestingly, only three people have earned any points in two of our events so far: @LonerDruid, @frankierooks, and @upcominggm.

@upcominggm has now been banned for cheating in his rapid games. His blitz games may have been clean, but I have removed him from the leaderboard and promoted people who finished below him anyway.
I won't do this for all old bans, but I will for bans that come relatively quickly after an event they participated in is complete.

Yes, we watch for cheating. I can't watch during the event as I don't have access to the internal systems they use during Titled Tuesday, but I check after the tournament is complete. @RusLeen thought he could get away with it anyway in our second event, but learned otherwise.
The next event will be on July 4th, right after Titled Tuesday, and then we'll have another event at a not-yet-determined time the following Saturday (July 8th). More information in here: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/untitled-tuesday
We will post a reminder before each event.

Great! We've had a good turnout of some pretty strong players in our events so far.
Oh jeez I have 2 points
