At some profile entries in Beta4 season the data was missing. We fixed that bug now and all profiles should have their results from last season now.

We also checked the database and found, that not all games from last season were listet in the new All-time Rank-O-Meter. Now all games should be listed. The Rank-O-Meter will be updated once after every season.

Thank you for your mails and forum posts.

Good luck and have fun!

Since the last reset a lot of valuable data was missing by many users. So we added an additional "All Time - Rank-O-Meter" to your profile. It will now store all your games you have played and will (hopefully) never be reseted. The "Season - Rank-O-Meter" just shows your results of the current season, which is Beta5. We hope that you like the way we try to improve the ranking. We know that there are still a lot of things and ideas. We keep working. Stay tuned and have fun so far.

On Saturday 27th we did another ranking reset. Unfortunately without announcement. Sorry, there was a misunderstanding between me and my partner. We take care, that it will never happen again unannounced. We added your old gaming results to your profile as Beta 4 entries. And we added a new table to the hall of fame with the Top 100.

We still work on improvements for the system and i recognized, that especially new players did not know, that we are still in a Beta phase for this ranking. We already told in old forum posts and news, that we need to reset the ranking from time to time, to get the changes we made working. For the future we think about seasons, which will be played, 3-6 per year, And with every reset you will take your ranking score into a global ranking. And at the end of the year we have a champion. We keep you posted as soon as we start this "global ladder".

One of the mayor changes after the reset is, that we changed the activity malus. We had a lot of discussion about this topic in the PokerTH  forum:  The voting shows what most of you prefer: Less games to play per Week. So we decided to reduce the number of games from 10 to 6 you need to play per week to avoid the malus. I think this value meets the democratic middle of the voting. 

We also realized one of your suggestions about the calculation. I don´t know who excatly it was, but someone suggested, to take just the last 30 games played to calculate the score. We found that this is a very good idea and implemented it to the current system. It is good for everybody, who improves his gameplay and get better. And it always shows a good snapshot of the current skill of a player. I think this is what we need in the ranking. Currently we have this running in a test table. As soon as we see, that it works fine, we will switch it into the live system. We will write a post, when it happens.

Kindest regards

One of the most wanted changes has been activated today. Many people asked for it and here it is:

The activity Malus
Players which play less than 10 games per week (last 7 days) will get a malus added to the score. So everybody is forced to keep the activity alive to stay inside their regular score.

Checkraiser now took place at position 415.

We hope you like this.
