Please read the following guidelines explaining how the point system works: Western Canada Foosball Points are calculated using the Elo system which is a major point system used in many sports and games to accurately keep track of players points. In each match a player plays they are either awarded or deducted points based on the result of that match, also bonus points are awarded for placing well in events. In an Elo system, if two equally ranked players compete against each other in an open event, the winner is awarded 16 points and the loser is deducted 16 points. If a high ranked player beats a low ranked player, with 400 points separating the players, the higher ranked player would win 2 points, while the lower ranked player would be deducted 2 points. If a high ranked player loses to a low ranked player, with 400 points separating the players, the higher ranked player would lose 30 points, while the lower ranked player would gain 30 points. There are also bonus points awarded for placing near the top of an event. The amount of bonus points is determined by the amount of players/teams in an event and the caliber of the event. The above examples are for Open events. Decrease all the gained, lost, and bonus numbers in half for Expert or Amatuer events. In our system we are using a base points for players based on the players rank in 2008. Players not residing in Western Canada are included in the points system for the newest publishing after each tournament they attend. If they miss one they are still in the system, but will not be posted in our list. Player ranks for upcoming tournaments are based on points. The parameters for players ranks are subject to change based on point fluctuation in the group of players. To be ranked Pro Master in this point system you must have more than 1500 points or win multiple Open titles in Western Canada. To become ranked Pro in this point system you must have more than 1300 points To become ranked Expert in this point system you must have more than 1000 points To drop a rank you must fall 100 points below the threshold of points - I.E. for a Pro to become an Expert they would have to drop to 1200 or less Author: Will Reply #1 Posted: Mar 31 2011 7:29PM 1 Dunn, Eric 1925 Master 2 Botros, Matt 1724 Master 3 Popowich, Darrel 1693 Master 4 Shaw, Justin 1653 Master 5 Ramjag, Joey 1644 Master 6 Phan, Tuan 1519 Master 7 Goodman, Eric 1517 Master 8 Williams, Craig 1515 Master 9 Dunn, Christian 1485 Pro 10 Loeppky, Brian 1474 Master Hood, Jack 1465 Pro Karmis, Ang 1455 Master Stranks, Will 1445 Pro Ross, Todd 1431 Pro Tong, Tony 1430 Pro Szeto, Nelson 1414 Pro Macdonald, Tom 1403 Pro Udell, Andy 1402 Pro Trynchuk, Dale 1400 Pro Ustina, Greg 1394 Pro Kehoe, Eric 1394 Pro Edwards, Simon 1385 Pro Meister, Gerry 1378 Pro Burgardt, Garry 1373 Pro Schneider, Jeff 1368 Pro Demello, Ivor 1358 Pro Lawrence, Shane 1347 Pro Gee, Paul 1333 Pro Wilson, Tim 1311 Pro Farries, Kent 1295 Pro Willick, Barry 1292 Pro Archibald, Ted 1264 Expert Penner, Roger 1257 Pro Wilkins, Ben 1171 Expert Streifel, Nathan 1166 Expert Koo, Peter 1154 Expert Cyrene, Dale 1149 Expert D, Ben 1148 Expert Mckenna, Pat 1133 Expert Campbell, Lance 1133 Expert Demello, Chris 1132 Expert Luft, Carey 1126 Expert Simeon, Jamie 1100 Expert Kippen, Rick 1099 Expert S, Greg 1097 Expert Van Melle, Nathan 1093 Expert Ly, Linda 1075 Expert Mentis, Tony 1074 Expert Rupertus, Lindsey 1070 Expert Daly, Ritchie 1070 Expert Verkley, Vern 1051 Expert Allen, Greg 1051 Expert Scaife, Darcy 1041 Expert Nguyen, Tri 1035 Expert Myszczyszyn, Tobin 1031 Expert Johnston, Mike 1022 Expert Chin, Anthony 1014 Expert Chan, Willie 989 Amatuer Cortez, Allan 982 Amatuer Wilkins, Sam 971 Amatuer Frenzel, Jordan 966 Amatuer Phuong, Dylan 966 Amatuer Porat, Nate 948 Amatuer Choi, Ronnie 942 Amatuer Tran, Vanson 938 Amatuer Kimber, Daniel 936 Amatuer Burgess, Brian 933 Amatuer Spencer, Chad 929 Amatuer Wong, Kevin 927 Amatuer Brodt, Danny 924 Amatuer M, Zarko 917 Amatuer Kerr, Chris 917 Amatuer S, Ahman 915 Amatuer Jamerson, Rick 914 Amatuer F, Brad 913 Amatuer Ennis, Mark 912 Amatuer X, Bau 911 Amatuer X, Paul 911 Amatuer P, Andre 910 Amatuer X, Graham 910 Amatuer X, Marty 901 Amatuer X, Eric 897 Amatuer X, Tony 895 Amatuer Ryder, Michelle 894 Amatuer G, Sean 894 Amatuer X, Steven 893 Amatuer X, Johnny 893 Amatuer Turner, Jim 892 Amatuer C, John 892 Amatuer Hill, Graham 888 Amatuer Owsley, Zan 888 Amatuer McDonald, Sandy 887 Amatuer Lishingman, Jeff 887 Amatuer X, Adam 887 Amatuer X, Hank 885 Amatuer X, Andy 885 Amatuer C, Roland 885 Amatuer H, Frank 885 Amatuer Wong, Gary 884 Amatuer Phillips, Adam 884 Amatuer Hasiuk, Jody 882 Amatuer X, Grace 882 Amatuer Chau, Lisa 882 Amatuer X, Minh 878 Amatuer J, Chad 878 Amatuer C, Derk 877 Amatuer Cabay, Codey 874 Amatuer K, Bryan 874 Amatuer Radke, Lance 873 Amatuer R, Orlando 872 Amatuer S, Scott 871 Amatuer K, John 871 Amatuer X, Jarett 870 Amatuer C, Norman 870 Amatuer E, Martin 867 Amatuer Tse, Desmond 865 Amatuer Grande, Aaron 863 Amatuer Djackovic, Christof 863 Amatuer Humberstone, Paul 862 Amatuer Burnett, Sean 855 Amatuer Gibson, Katy 853 Amatuer Phillips, Mike 847 Amatuer M, Ryan 843 Amatuer Wilkins, Isaiah 842 Amatuer Boyko, Keith 833 Amatuer Schiebelbien, Karli 824 Amatuer This thread does not accept replies because: It is meant to be informational only...
