Mark, I suspect you haven't played enough tables to show up highly here. This ranking system heavily rewards playing every table even if the scores are merely adequate, since just reaching the top 50 is worth as much as the difference between #50 and #1.

I'm sliding down the list slightly at present because I haven't bought into season 3 yet. Both because I want to reward Farsight by buying if they ever fix some of the older table bugs, and because I don't really need the productivity drain right now. :)

Here is a new Top 100. Some changes:

- I snagged the data for this ranking this morning (2014-03-21).

- I decided to award points in an exponential-decay way. If R is a player's rank on a table, I gave him 100 * exp(-0.0465 * (R-1)) points for that table. (The "-1" and "-0.0465" are to give 100 points for a #1 score, and 1 point for a #100 score.) I think this is much better way of ranking players, and you will note Tarek O. is now #2 (with a big lead on #3), which is good. The #99 player in this system only has two scores: a #2 and a #9, and I think that's fine, but comments on this are very welcome!

- I am ranking not just the top 100 scores on a table, but the top 500. The exp function means this has negligible effect for scores much lower than #100. But at least you get 0.96 points for a #101 score, and the scoring function is continuous.

- The first column has the change of a player's current rank from that in the last data set I have, which is whenever the 1st post in this thread was made. The previous rank is based on the new scoring method, not the old one, for better comparison. The red/bold highlighting is for praise and motivation for moving up the chart!

- I've added links to player's member page for this website for some players... I am still adding this info to my program.

Have the appropriate amount of fun!

This ranking system heavily rewards playing every table even if the scores are merely adequate, since just reaching the top 50 is worth as much as the difference between #50 and #1.

I've changed and hopefully improved the ranking system (your feedback welcome!). Mr. Miwurdz is #26 (up 10 with a bullet!) in the new system.

Nice work, yes I like the exponential decay approach (and not just because it makes me look good!)

A refinement could be to consider only a certain amount of rankings for each player, rather than the entire population of available tables. Like take each player's 20 highest rankings, or maybe keep it as half of however many tables have been released. This would help boost players who are certainly very good but for whatever reason just haven't played many of the tables, like nuclearkevin who obviously knows his stuff by ranking #3 on TZ but hasn't played many others. (Partially because he's a PS3 player which is far behind on table releases.) This is going to rank Tarek O above me, of course, but he really is better. I'm on top mostly because I've taken the time to grind out scores on less popular tables like Victory and 1812 that other players just skip.

This is essentially how rankings for some individual pro sports work, like golf and tennis. They rank based on a player's 14 best results from the previous calendar year, so they're not penalized by skipping some events or for occasional injuries.

lol i'm a "breakthrough of a season" with that +263 and i just started playing for scores XD

PS: but, invitro, i'm something like 8th on Who Dunnit too! =)
good job, but i think we must have this kind of overall rating incapsulated in the tpa itself

so invitro are you gather scores data from tpa site with program or by hands?

Like take each player's 20 highest rankings,
I will strongly consider this. I will probably do it, with either 1/2 or 2/3 the number of tables. Thanks for the input.

I am curious now if there are certain tables that are skipped by the top players much more often than others.

I made a mistake and didn't update my ranking program to look at WD, oops. I will probably fix that in a bit.

These data (I have the top 500 scores on each table now) came from a program. But my first set of data, from last month, I copied from the leaderboard webpage by hand.

Do I feature in the list anywhere? My current score and username are in my signature, I'm currently about 2000 points / 20 places ahead of Carl on the scoreboard but I can't see me in there yet.

You are #1291, with 7 points. This is mostly because your highest rank is #80, although you have 18 top 500 scores, which is not too shabby.

That's more like it. My recent 13b on Ripley's might help aswell, more so if the glitched scores are ignored. I also advocate just considering a set number of tables. I'm a PS4 player now so my table number is massively limited and will be for months and will always be behind other platforms.

Ok so I should have squeezed my way into the top 100 now! :)

Gamertag: NeonZwei
Stats: Attack From Mars: 2nd Place
Medieval Madness 80th place
Twilight Zone: 50th place

This is just the beginning. I am sure I can go higher, and there's lots of tables I'm very good at on mobile that I haven't even attempted yet on ps4. I'm also really high up in Fish Tales, T2, Black Rose, and Black Knight 2K so, I may be able to squeeze a top 50 finish when it's all said and done :)

Here is a new Top 100. I got the data today (2014-04-18; the previous data is for 2014-03-21). I am still considering these scoring changes:

- To count a max of half the total # of tables, to be more fair to players on platforms that don't have all the tables yet, and to players who dislike a few tables enough to not be willing to play them.
- To change my point formula again, as I think the exp decay may be too severe.

I approve of this ranking method. :)

The refinement I'd love to see but not sure how to do correctly is to factor out infinite runs. Like, I can play Funhouse, Bride, T2, TZ indefinitely and so can several other players on several tables. It's silly for us to keep spending 12 hour games knocking each other out of the #1 spots when we all have equally maxed skill. If only there were some way we could call a truce and split the credit, but there probably isn't any good way to assume "infinity" from leaderboard data alone.

I am a little dubious of your claim that several** other players can play these tables for 12 hrs.

Here is the reason: My FH #3 game took me 12 hrs, and my MM #8 game took me 9.5 hrs. And when I play I take very frequent breaks and go very slowly. So if more than five* other people have had a 12 hr FH game, or if more than seven other people have had a 12 hr MM game, they would've had to play even more slowly than me, which seems unlikely to me. Or are you claiming that several people -could- have a 12 hr game, but they quit at like 4 hr? I suppose, but why give those people credit... 12 hr isn't -that- much if it's spread out over several days. I personally don't believe that requiring someone to put in 12 hrs to get credit for a #1 score is torture; I mostly enjoy it. What do you think?

* the #1 and #2 scores, and the three people (like you) that have scores ~999,999,990.
** I suppose I am assuming that "several" means quite a bit more than seven!

What do you think about that? Can you be more precise on how many people you think have had 12 hr games on these machines?

Also, I do not feel that the difference between my playing 12 hr and 6 hr on FH is just stamina. I think it represents a true increase of skill.

I understand wanting to recognize the case when scores are so high that players' skill cannot accurately be compared. I just think that point for FH is higher than 1.2B. Or I may be super specific and think that the the #1 player on FH really did exhibit more skill in his game than I did in mine. But how can I tell... I don't know...

Perhaps the easiest tables should be weighted less than the hardest ones. Well maybe. But I'd want either a consensus on what the easiest/hardest tables are, or some factual evidence. Hmm.

(My flipper finger has had a bad medical problem lately, but I will return soon to try to get some more top tens :).)

If I set a max-out score on FH, and average the points of scores above that, what score should it be?

I made a 6h game on SS to join the top 20. I didnt played the table for 2 month before that and my best score went from 400m to 2B. I was only on my 2nd ball and was full of EB (4),and evene if i'm not a great player i had the feeling to could play it for infinite if i had taken breaks, but i just decided to let it go because:
1/It was 4 in the morning, including breaks i was playin since 9pm
2/I dont take the risk to have a micro electricity power shut down and lose my score
3/I dont really know if my PS3 would like to turn on infinite
4/Most of pleasure was gone around midnight, with this feeling to not beeing able to lose more balls than EB won if not on purpose; at 2 o clock my only goal was 2B and top 20, surprised my self with feelings i can have at the end of a long day at work, worst of i started to play softer and realised i was kind of happy when i was losing a ball.


I just played this game hard 2 months (january/febrary, like 30h a week) and since march i almost didnt play as it gave me (in addition with real pinball) massive tendinitis and i already got this feeling on SS, TZ and almost on CV, and i'm pretty sure i'm not a super player. So i think u really under estimate the number of players who stop playin after 3h+ games just beacause it's too long. But anyway, i dont see any kind of filter u could use to limit this effect on your ranking. And i know (cause i never post but read really often this forum) u guys already talk about it, but there definitely shold have a proper EB limit for every tables, like HD, even if it's a bad exemple coz this thief is so punitive that u can join top 20 in 1 hour ;)
