2021 Sims 4 Challenge Tournament World Ranking

[Metropolis Man]

2021 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.

[Nandarelle]

I have to say it feels a little crazy to see myself at the top. But the year is young.

[ratchie]

Looking good guys be nice to see my name up there after the next event.

With Emotional Rollercoaster now in the books I updated the World Ranking. Wow - it's quite a race at the top already. Nikitachi won that event and that pushed her ahead of Nandarelle. Lena, who has essentially been #1 or #2 for more than 10 years, is right on their heels. Emotional Rollercoaster was the 3rd event for several players and that expanded the World Ranking list, so welcome to all of you.

The Four Life States event wrapped up last night, with Nikitachi grabbing another win. Grats to her for that. That extended her lead in the ranking over Nandarelle. Four players were not able to finish the requirements and had to post a DNF — one of them being Lena which pushed ratchie barely above her for 3rd place in the ranking.

The Life States event was the third one for SueDenim and math_chick, so welcome to the ranking.

The Calling All High Achievers event is now over, so the World Ranking has been updated. Not too many changes although Lena jumped up to 2nd place since she won that event.

I’m having trouble finding the spreadsheet you’re talking about here. Could anyone help me out?

It's not a public spreadsheet. It's just something I have used for years that is on my own computer...an Apple Numbers document.

The World Ranking has been updated to include results from Baby Boomer. Several new players have been added to the World Ranking, so grats to all those players. Nikitachi, LenaLJ, and Nandarelle seem to have a lock on 1 - 2 - 3. We'll see if anyone else can jump in the top. Lots of challenges left in the season.

The World Ranking has been updated to include results from Flutter Me Shutters. Not too many changes...the winner of that event, mismck, did move up several spots. Well done.

[jesslc]

Should I be on the list? It says 1 major and 1 regular tournament counts.

Thanks for catching that. Welcome to the ranking.

[Metropolis Man]

The Ultimate Skills challenge wrapped up last night and the world ranking has been updated. Given mismck tied for 1st in that event, I was thinking she would move up one spot, but Teresa did well enough to remain in 4th. So, no changes at all towards the top players. There was more movement upwards in the middle of the pack from players like CynKuy and Delokkpsi.

The Skills event was the 10th of the season and 3 players have a perfect participation total to date: Nikitachi, Teresa, and Nandarelle. Grats to you all of you. For the rest of the season, I will be able to recalculate your ranking and drop your lowest finish.

[Metropolis Man]

With Likes and Dislikes in the books, I updated the World Ranking. No movement at the top, but Lena did gain some ground on Nikitachi. Likes and Dislikes was MarianT's 3rd event, so she is now ranked -- welcome!

[Metropolis Man]

A pretty minor update with the Lot Traits challenge wrapping up Sunday night, but a couple of players still jumped up a spot.
