Which tournament goes first?

David Tuesday, 9/14/2010

I've got a spreadsheet that I'm using to help me keep track of the cars and their ratings. I've noticed that some cars participate in both tournaments and was wondering which one goes first? The reason I ask is because how a car performs in the first tournament will change its rating for the next one and I'm trying to keep track of how each car performs against opponents of certain rankings.

Do you always do one first or is it just random and can we know before hand?

Hmmm...if I had to wager a guess, I think I submit results in the order by which they appear on the web site.

So the tournaments for this week, I'll submit Fall Fury first and then the FTE race.

I can't say 100% that that's how I've done it this far, but I can make it a point to try and maintain that convention moving forward. I suspect that's how I submit results because that's also how they appear in my admin panel, and I just go down the list.

However, what you're talking about - rating history by opponent - is something cool that would be neat to have, so I might factor that into the next revision for season 3. The system right now is only setup to save the current and previous ratings, not a standing history. We could create all sorts of charts and stuff with that data! Mmmmm...data....
