Go to Post I would be kinda creeped out if I was one of the "famous" FIRST people. Why? Because no one is any different than anyone else in my eyes. Granted, some people stand out more, but that is because the other people might not have gotten a chance yet to shine. - Melissa Nute [more]

Re: Where do I ask for unicorns, I mean changes to the official stats?

I tried to adapt MLB's "games back" metric in the spreadsheet I used for my announcing. I'm convinced that it can work, though not that I did it yet.

I used RP since wins isn't as valuable a metric.

If PRP is the total number of ranking points possible (4 * number of matches played) for a given team, I computed (2 * PRP - RP) for each team. I subtracted each team's total from the leader's and divided by two.

This might be entirely equivalent to dividing a ranking score by the number of games, or there might be more happening there, but it does make those teams that are trailing in the rankings because they're a match behind pop out without a lot of searching.
