Ooooooo. It's getting close. Might be finished tonight.

Still need to:
- Enable the importing of league ranking method files
- Add an option to the app preferences for your auto-loaded league ranking method file
- Create the built-in ranking methods
- Test it out

It is REALLY neat.

Okay, the new system is complete.

I'm going to describe how it works and ask you for additional ideas...

A "League Ranking Method" has a "Tournament Scoring Formula" plus a few other attributes. The other attributes of a "League Ranking Method" are:
- The name of the method
- The point format of the method (integer, double, currency or percentage)
- The aggregation method (total or average of tournament scores)
- The weighting method for the tournament scores (equal, tournament decay or time decay...the decay makes recent results more important than older results. "Tournament Decay" uses a standard decay rate per tournament, going back in time. "Time Decay" is similar but takes the date of the tournament into account...a standard decay rate per day.
- The rate of decay for the weighting method
- The minimum number of tournaments someone must play to be included in the rankings.

A "Tournament Scoring Formula" produces a score for a player in a tournament. A "Tournament Scoring Formula" is essentially a "Numeric Expression".

A "Numeric Expression" is one of the following:
- A "Numeric Constant", such as "10".
- A "Numeric Variable". Variables currently include: player's buy-in expense, add-on count, add-on expense, rebuy count, rebuy expense, bounty, bounty revenue, knockout count, total revenue, total expense, net gain, finish or place revenue. Also can be tournament buy-in count, add-on count, rebuy count or gross prize pool.
- A "Numeric Formula". Formulas take a "Numeric Expression" and perform a calculation on them. Formulas currently include: add, subtract, multiply, divide, min, max, abs, ceil, exp, floor, log, power, round or sqrt.
- A "Numeric If". This is a compound if statement. If statements consist of one or more "Boolean Expressions", one or more "Numeric Expressions" that are evaluated if the associated "Boolean Expression" is true, and a "Numeric Expression" that is evaluated if none of the expressions are true.

A "Boolean Expression" is one of the following:
- A "Boolean Constant", either "True" or "False".
- A "Boolean Formula", either "AND", "OR" or "NOT". A "Boolean Formula" takes 1 or 2 other "Boolean Expressions" as its arguments.
- A "Numeric Comparison". Compares two "Numeric Expressions" using "=", "!=", "<", "<=", ">" or ">=".

That's it. The formulas can get as complex as you want.

Now, anything missing? Any other formulas you want?

Ok I'm struggling with it.

Doc could you post what the Johnson system should look like with your new system?

Struggling meaning I'm as thick as two planks. I'm trying to work through it though. Smile
