Evaluate new ranking system for defrag.racing #7

Open neyoneit opened 3 months ago

neyoneit commented 3 months ago

I believe it's time to explore a potential revamp of the defrag.racing ranking system. Here are some ideas to consider:

Xenotic-like Ranking System: I propose investigating a ranking system similar to the one used in Xenotic, which emphasizes both skill and participation. You can find their documentation here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xm0Cu5lZmYAnxPPPk3g2Zb1pT_DuQg_7uvu2famXp2U. A live example can be seen at: https://xdf.teichisma.info/rating. Alternative Suggestions: Additionally, Batawi has proposed other potentially suitable ranking systems. Refer to https://github.com/michalwitwicki/QuickQuack for details.

Benefits of a New Ranking System: Improved Fairness: A revised system could potentially offer a more balanced representation of player skill and activity. Enhanced User Engagement: A ranking system that rewards both skill and participation could potentially motivate players to be more active.

Next Steps: I encourage further discussion and exploration of the proposed ranking systems, along with any other potential options. Evaluating data and user feedback can help us determine the best approach for defrag.racing.

I'm on it!

QuickQuack (at least in current version) is not a good fit for our use case.

I will try to prepare some development plan for it in the coming days.
