ReachMahjong.com Implements Ranking System
At long last it has begun. In April, 2008 ReachMahjong.com, in collaboration with the Yakitori Online Forums, began bi-weekly tournaments on Ron2 called the ReachMahjong.com Meet-ups. Now, RM.com will finally be ranking players based on results from these meet-ups.
With players from all over the world in different time zones, an online ranking system posts a bit of a challenge, but RM.com has taken on that challenge and decided to adapt to all players by implementing multiple ranking systems.
Today the Average Placement Ranking will be introduced. All pre-final table games will count towards this ranking. It will be calculated by dividing the total table points (1st = 1, 2nd = 2, etc.) by the total number of pre-final table games played. There will be a minimum of 10 games required to qualify for the ranking. By using an average, this ranking system will give equal opportunity to players who cannot attend each meet-up.
The second ranking system introduced this week will be based on Final Table results. The player with the most Final Table points will lead this ranking and there will be no minimum qualifications for this list.
The final ranking system will be the number of games played.
All rankings will count for one year. Winners of each ranking system for 2008 will be notified by the end of June. The winner of each ranking system will win exclusive ReachMahjong.com merchandise. For the 2008 ranking, the winner of each system is entitled to a RM.com T-shirt. 2nd place will receive a RM.com phone strap and 3rd place will get a RM.com patch. 2009 prizes will be announced in July.
Rankings may be viewed from the menu under Players > Ron2 Meetups > Player Rankings
See you at the next Meet-Up!
