NA Server Rankings

EU Server Rankings

Deviation and Volitility are used by the Glicko 2 rating system (http://www.glicko.net/glicko.html). They’re not absolutely necessary for understanding the ratings but I know there are some folks out there who will like to have them.

Woo! Ferguson's not in the bottom 3 anymore!

[Voison]

Sweet 3rd place.

[My Sweet Lily]

Whaaat! We dropped to seventh. Impossibru.

What do those numbers in the delta, rating, deviation and volatility mean?
And why there are 2 columns for delta? What is this thing?

The first delta is how many ranks a server moved. For example, Stormbluff went down 2 places, Isle of Janthir stayed the same, Blackgate went up 2 places.

As for the other numbers, I have no idea...

[Reason on Cooldown]

The first delta is the change in Ranking, the 2nd is the change in Rating.  Deviation and volitility I believe are statistics things, but my statistics knowledge is in the hstorical archives at present.

[Azure Skye]

Yay! WTG Dragonbrand!! Woot still in the top 10!

There's a quote at the bottom of the post that explains they are used with the Glicko 2 rating system. It also links to where you can find out more info on it.

I think the EU match up's are set for the coming time.. maybe it would be nice if there's some change any time soon.

Glad the see we're in second thats the highest possible for us, with a weak night crew. Or to say it is impossible to beat VS in night time, but that would make some people mad so i won't use that as an excuse.

Daww, what happened Stormbluff? We were #2.

[/quote]Thank you, i visited your link. Maybe you guys should do it too if you want to know more about the math behind ranking chess players and gaze upon long impressive formulas.

[Oh Vanity]

GO! Jade Quarry ! xD you can do it

[Waar Kijk Je Naar]

Canadians still #1... gj.

[DeConstruct]

Another week, another match up with French Canadians, another match that's lost [i]outside of game time[/i].

Well looking at in game score, Ferguson will be fighting Devona and Kaineng again next week.
Im guessing the Delta means Kaineng is improving.
