Prediction Games / Zct 281 - Eternal wait - Predi...
Last post by alanrotoi - November 18, 2024, 11:00:30 PMI bet this track will be another victory for @Duplode . Not so relaxed. There will be some ltb battles here and there.
Also it will mark the comeback of the Hungarian Looping Warriors: @Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister , @CTG and @Usrin .
So the scoreboard would be like:
1. Duplode
2. Alan Rotoi
3. CTG
4. @Frieshansen
5. @Zapper
6. @Spoonboy
7. @dreadnaut
8. Akoss
9. Usrin
10. @Overdrijf
11. @Erik Barros
12. @Shoegazing Leo

Competition 2024 / Re: Tiebreakers redux
Last post by Mortimer Macmire - November 18, 2024, 06:06:43 PMOn the matter of the LTB points in the Amateur league. I'm gonna be a bit cautious in my sayings since I'm a bit biased because of my current standing in set Amateur league. Also I was, of course, not involved in the decision making on this matter.
But I have to agree with Duplode on the matter that bonuses earned on the main scoreboard shouldn't count on the Amateur league table. It might be a different story if there was a separate leaderboard scoring mechanism for the amateur league.
But then again, I don't think it would do al that much for the amateur league. This year there was a battle for first place but if look back quickly at the last 5 seasons there was almost always one dominant pipsqueak who took most of, if not all, of the first places in the amateur league. So he will most likely also pick up the LTB points which will only make him more dominant.

Competition 2024 / Re: Tiebreakers redux
Last post by Duplode - November 18, 2024, 04:31:09 PMQuote from: dreadnaut on November 10, 2024, 09:28:14 PMYes, I plan to clarify that in the rules for 2025. I was also surprised, first by the limit (which I had forgotten) then by the fact that it was in the code, clearly defined, but not in the rules. Seems like we forgot to add it when the LTB calculations changed.
I agree that the limit makes sense, and it's good that we'll write down the precedent. (Back in 2020, right after the rules changed, I used to feel granting the third point to avoid wasting the hours would be fairer. It didn't take long for my view to change after seeing the "new" LTB system in action: it's better to not have LTB +3 for the sake of the balance of the competition.)
Since we're talking about weird corner cases, I think it would be nice to have a look at the question raised on the shoutbox by @Ryoma (can't ping him...) and @Mortimer Macmire about LTB and the Amateur League. The rules are not explicit about that, and it turns out Frieshansen was granted LTB points on the 2022 Am scoreboard, though it's not clear to me whether that was actually by design. Either way, it feels wrong for a bonus obtained through placement on the main scoreboard to affect the Am League, so IMO we're better off ruling it out for good.

Stunts Chat / Re: Elo-like ratings for ZakSt...
Last post by Duplode - November 18, 2024, 01:31:35 AMTime for the November update of the rankings! Before that, a feature announcement: as promised a few months ago, an interactive full history graph is now available! You can also download the CSV with the ratings from the same page.
On to the ZCT280 rankings themselves: by flying on an Indy to the top of the podium, Argammon has not just retaken the current ranking lead while setting another personal best, but also taken the second place in the historical ranking! The previous change of positions in the historical podium had been in 2016, and the last time someone had newly reached it was in 2009. That's not something you'll see every day. Congratulations Argammon!
It was a busy race elsewhere in the current ranking, too! Besides Argammon, Mortimer (+82 change!), Ryoma and Spoonboy (reaching the 1900 points milestone) have reached personal bests. Last but not least, Chulk has returned to the competition, and to the current ranking -- welcome back!
Below is the updated evolution chart:

Competition 2024 / Re: ZCT280 - Marginal
Last post by Zapper - November 17, 2024, 07:55:32 PMCongratulations to @Argammon on a well-crafted Indycar lap, well done pipsqueak!
I'm glad to hear that this track was at least an enjoyfable event and didn't bring too much frustration while tackling all its elements through its extension. Maybe the next time I create a shorter one

Competition 2024 / Re: ZCT280 - Marginal
Last post by Mortimer Macmire - November 16, 2024, 09:41:20 PMHave to agree with the people above me. It was a very fun and challenging track with a lot of things to learn (having good teammates helped a lot with that!)
And as Spoonboy already mentioned the amount of detail that came into driving the lap as clean as possible was a really interesting experience (and frustrating at times, but heck that's what makes it so much more fun when you finally make something work !)
