2022 Sims 4 World Ranking

[Metropolis Man]

2022 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 good measure of player caliber. To receive a World Ranking, a player must post scores in at least three challenges.

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

Final 2022 World Ranking — November 21

Nikitachi	.705

Eighty8Keys	.366

Each Tournament challenge has a spreadsheet column. Each column cell ratio is how many players a player beats to the 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 all 11 Tournament challenges, then their worst challenge would be dropped. 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

The first three challenges of the 2022 season are complete, so it's time for a fresh new World Ranking. Only six players participated in all three events, so we're starting small and going to build. It's always nice to see new faces in the ranking, so grats to jesslc for earning the top spot for the moment. LenaLJ, who has always been a threat for more than ten years, is close behind.

Thanks Metro! I'm sure I've only got the lead because all of last years top players have been too busy to play much, but I shall appreciate it while it lasts anyway

[Metropolis Man]

Aspirations of the Good, the Evil, and the Goofball is now over, so I updated the World Ranking. jesslc still holds the top spot, but annieb joins the ranking with her 3rd event complete and is close behind. Eighty8Keys also enters the World Ranking.

[Metropolis Man]

The World Ranking is updated now after the finish of Party Hearty. jesslc still has a lock on top spot after her win in that event and SueDenim was added to the ranking since it was her 3rd event.

[Metropolis Man]

The World Ranking is updated to include the results from yesterday's Baby Boomer. jesslc still holds the top spot. Nandarelle and SueDenim both moved up one place.

[Metropolis Man]

The World Ranking is updated with the closing of the Freeze Off event. @coolsim9999999 was the big winner of that event, but needs to post a score in one more event to make it into the World Ranking.

[coolsim9999999]

I can't believe I won! I'm so happy.  I'm glad everyone had fun. 

I will be sure at least complete another challenge --- probably the finale.  I'm still doing my course and then looking for and starting an online job.

[Metropolis Man]

The World Ranking is updated with the closing of Cloning and Clowning Around. Coolsim9999999 joins the ranking since that event was her 3rd.

[coolsim9999999]

Yay!  Thanks Metro. I hope I can fit in more challenges this year.

[Metropolis Man]

Oops! I forgot to add Granny Lawlor to the World Ranking yesterday. The Cloning event was her 3rd finish of the season, so I took care of that.

[Granny Lawlor]

Oops! I forgot to add Granny Lawlor to the World Ranking yesterday. The Cloning event was her 3rd finish of the season, so I took care of that.

Thanks - I'm really chuffed to get my first ever entry on it

[Metropolis Man]

The Back to School challenge ended last night and the World Ranking has been updated with those results. There's only one more event this season -- the Finale, and it's worth 2 events, so depending on how the top players do in that event there may be a shake-up in the end.

[Metropolis Man]

The Finale for the 2022 Tournament season ended last night. jesslc was the big event winner, which solidified her top World Ranking position for the season. Great job, jesslc! Since the Finale counted as two events, last year's overall Champion, Nikitachi, nearly stole the runner-up position from SueDenim. Sue hung on by a thin margin to earn her prize. Sue has been competing in the Tournament for many years, but if memory serves me, I do not think she has ever finished this high to earn a prize. Great job, Sue. jesslc and SueDenim -- I will send you a PM soon for prize information.

I also wanted to give my thanks to the players that offered feedback on some possible changes for next season's Tournament. The team and I will discuss the next season and post the overall rules and the January rule sets very soon.

I have my fingers crossed that we can draw more players to the forum and get more Tournament participation next year.
