PERIKLES LEAGUE TABLE UPDATED

After Game 8 of 12 October 2008:

DaveP…......B13...S21...C15....Total49…...1st…..5 points
AllanM......B12...S20...C10....Total42…...2nd...3 points
HannesS.....B10...S12...C18....Total40……..3rd...2 points
DaveB........B4....S3...C19....Total13…....4th...1 point

DaveP and HannesS were plaing Perikles for the first time – it didn't
seem to hamper them.
DaveP won, and rocketed into the league in second place, with 5
points from 1 game. Interestingly, if AllanM had won, which he
nearly did, HE would have risen to second place instead, with 10
points from 3 games.


SO: the updated "fun league" looks like this:

Player.........Points.....Played....Prev Rating...Rating

1. BobR.........16.........4.........2.750........3.200

2. DaveP…....... 5……........1……..…....NA.......…2.500

3. BenM……....... 5……........1……....…..NA.......…2.500

4. BrianO........5..........1.........NA..........2.500

5. StuartF.......7..........2........2.500.........2.333

6. FelixK........9...........3.......2.000.........2.250

7. NeilP........13..........5........2.400........2.167

8. AllanM........8...........3.......1.667.........2.000

9. AttilaW........4...........1.........NA..........2.000

10. MikaelS.......3..........1..........NA...........1.500

11. JosepA.......3...........1.........NA..........1.500

12. AndrewM.....4............2........1.333.........1.333

13. HannesS......2...........1..........NA.........1.000

14. DaveB.........5..........4........1.000.........1.000

15. MartialC......2...........1..........NA.........1.000

16. RichardB......1..........1...........NA.........0.500

17. MichaelY......1..........1...........NA..........0.500


In case you are interested, the formula is: points divided by games
played + 1. And when it's a tie on rating, most recent result ranks
higher, then on points scored in last game, otherwise alphabetical.
Points are 5,3,2,1 for a 4-player-game, and 6,4,3,2,1 for a 5-player-
game.

It is still volatile. E.g.if BobR were to come last in the next 4-
player game, he would drop to 2.833; if, say, StuartF won that game,
he would go to 3.000 and top the league.
