2020 Sims 4 World Ranking

2020 Sims 4 World Ranking

The World Ranking has two components: a Wins component (50%) and a Participation component (50%). It's a simple ranking system, but still a significant measure of player caliber. To receive a World Ranking, a player must finish a) three regular Tournament challenges, or b) one Major and one regular Tournament challenge.

The goal for this year is 50 ranked players. Jump in and help make it happen.

Each Tournament challenge has a spreadsheet column. Each column cell ratio is how many players a player beat to total possible players. Let's take a look at Joe Blow and how Joe did in the first three events of the season. Event #1 had 25 players, and Joe finished 8th, so he beat 17 out of a possible 24 players (Joe is not counted). Joe's event #1 cell is =17/24. Event #2 had 30 players, and Joe finished 6th. Event # 2's cell is =24/29. Event #3 had 25 players, and Joe won it. Event # 3's cell is =24/24.

Down the spreadsheet after all the individual challenge columns is the "Sum of Wins" column - the total of all of one's ratios in each challenge column. So, for the first three events, Joe's "Sum of Wins" column is 2.537. Next comes the "# of Events" column - a simple count function for all challenge columns. Joe has only participated in 3 challenges so far, so his "# of Events" figure is 3. The "Sum of Wins" is then divided by the "# of Events" for an "Ave of Wins" column: 2.537 / 3 = .845

Now it's time to add the weight for the Wins component. The Wins weight carries 50% of the final score, so we take .845 X .50 and get .422 for Joe's final Wins component.

The second component is Participation. Everyone who submits a score in a challenge receives a 10% participation bonus figured into their ranking. So, there's a 10-event cap, at which point a player receives 100% of the Participation component. If someone participates in more than 10 Tournament challenges, then a player's best finishes will be used to compute the World Ranking.

Joe participated in the first three events. His participation bonus is .30 (10% per event). Participation counts for 50% of the final score, so we then take .30 X .50 to get Joe's final Participation component of .15.

Joe’s World Ranking is his final Wins component + his final Participation component: .422 + .15 = .572

Tip: If you have limited time and are forced to pick and choose which events to participate in, then do not miss the two Major events because they both count as two regular events.

With 3 events now in the books already for 2020, the first World Ranking is now posted. No real surprises at the top given either Rainbow Dash or Sruixan have won all 3 events. Grats to both of you. I forgot Lena and Nandarelle did not participate in the first event, so hopefully there will be more players added soon when they finish their 3rd event.

No matter where you fall, as always, my thanks to all participants.

[Teresa]

I am happy to be on the board

Congrats to the leaders and all that are participating.

[ratchie]

Well done everyone.

Whoooo! I'm on the list for the first time ever!

Hey do you guys have a discord or another place where you just chat? I like making new friends.

I have my own Discord channel, but it's mainly for the Challenge team and my other gaming friends I play Diablo and other games with. But, that's not a bad idea. If I remember, I'll mention it to Carl and MrsFlynn...something just for forumers.

[Teresa]

I would join that channel if y'all set one up.

[Sruixan]

As would I!

(also I cannot believe I am in second wow)

[Rainbow Dash]

Whoa, I didn't expect to have scored so high! Still it won't last as I'm not participating in the Pancakes challenge and I'm not sure about the Hobos To Heroes one either so other players will no doubt catch up to and overtake me.

I don't mind joining a Discord group but I may not chat much, I'm not very sociable, lol, could be nice to find other people to play different games with even though I use Steam for all my games.

It's nice to finally have a World Ranking, it kind of makes the Tournament Challenges feel more complete if you know what I mean.

[Deklitch]

I've already got discord channels set up for my Startrek RPG Group (we role play via forum, not Discord) and my multiple National Novel Writing Regions.

One more won't do any harm for me. and it would be great to just have another place to chat to more people given current world events and the inability to meet up physically at the present time.

The World Ranking has been updated to include results from Pancakes Triumphant. Rainbow Dash remains in 1st place despite her not particpating in that event, but the top players narrowed her lead a bit.

The following players earned a World Ranking since the Pancakes event was their 3rd event -- GlazeyLady, LenaLJ, Nandarelle, Kirstie, and Ginj. Grats to all of you.

[Vesper]

aaaargh I've never been this high in the world ranking, and likely won't again this year, am so excited.

[Metropolis Man]

Call it a "senior moment" - lol. The World Ranking should now be correct. Sruixan, LenaLJ, Nandarelle, and Nikitachi were slightly out of place on the Pancakes leaderboard, and because of that I entered in incorrect information in my WR spreadsheet. All is good now. Sruixan jumped ahead of Rainbow to claim top spot by the slightest of margins. Should be a great fight this year -- lots of time left.

[Deklitch]

Yay! still holding onto the wooden spoon with both hands <G>

[Metropolis Man]

The World Ranking has been updated to include the results from Hobos to Heroes. Sruixan extended her place at the top of the mountain with a nice win in that event. Vesper and Nikitachi leapfrogged over Rainbow Dash and now sit at 2nd and 3rd given Rainbow sat out the latest event.

Hobos to Heroes was the 3rd event for quite a few players and now are included in the World Ranking: Isabelalabe, SoulGal7, lizzi6692, and Eighty8Keys. Welcome to all of you.
