World Rankings 2014

[Conor Ryan]

Just checking to make sure I followed what Joe Did

So I really want to Normalize for number of events played, and for the size of certain events. Its not fair to compare a smaller, 30 team district with a with a 42 team district with a 58 team 3 day regional.

My idea: separate out these different categories as appropriate. Qualification wins is pretty self explanatory, it should normalize for the number of chance you have for a win. The middle section of the formula should be adjusted for the number of times you get to be picked, judged and play in eliminations. The last section should only be awarded once per season *before district champs*, I'm open to suggestions, especially for the last segment of the formula.

My Proposed Formula, point values follow District Standard Points Ranking, hopefully it lines up with Joe's.

Normalized World Rankings=
[(Qualification Wins + Qualification Ties) / (Qualification Matches Played)]
+
[(Alliance Captains + Draft Order Acceptance + Elimination Performance + Judged Awards) / (Number of Events Participated In)]
+
[Team Age + Chairman's + Engineering Inspiration + Rookie All Star]

Edit: I completely realize this makes it really difficult to figure out ties. Probably should just prioritize the second part of the formula.
