evkl's commentary

Cool and any idea of wether this will be implemented or not?
and I mean we can test this method at the International Tournament Group.. we have frequent tournaments there.. and we will have one starting in 2-3 weeks in time so we can test it out there as a trial round or something?
and how exactly is this going to be worked on a more "Official" level?

I have absolutely no idea if it will be implemented by anyone official; it's going to be designed as a simple-to-calculate power-ranking system that combines the power of many wins with the impact a shocking loss can have. It will be open and available to the public once I figure out how to code it into excel.

It won't have much value in an individual tournament setting, because the finals should include the two best players and from there the winner should be established. The value is more apparent when lots of different people play each other without structure--then, you may want to know your relative standing without playing all 50 other people in the league.

Ok I understand... cool.. but I really think this is worth a try somewhere.. the battle center?

This could just easily call for a ladder reboot, so we can have a gauntlet of some sorts.

^ya this just could take over the ladder and be Pokebars ladder, if you want i could help moderate it, kind of how drws did the original ladder if you want?
