scoring must be simple : ranking is an open question

I agree with you that scores must be simple to calculate at the end of a match.

This is not the same as saying that the ranking system has to be simple.

Because we have a limited sample size and because individual team performances are confounded by factors (not the least of which is the strength or weakness of you alliance partner(s)), I think that it is fair to try to get the best predictor of 'true rank' that we can.

I am not a statistical wizard, but I am concerned about finding a formula that we can all live with (and perhaps even explain in broad brush terms to our grandmas) while at the same time giving the best results we can get from our confounded, limited sample size.

Those who are statistical wizards notice that I did not propose some sort of performance index combined with a statistical correlation algorithm, which by the way I think could be an even better predictor of 'true rank' but I don't dare try to explain to my grandma ;-)
