Elo rankings and map rerolls
Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2024 11:38 am
We are currently discussing how to implement allowing map rerolls by ignoring early concessions (for Elo ranking purposes) in tournaments that allow map rerolls.
(I am not sure this discounting concessions before turn 3 thing ever in fact existed in the beta. There was no code to make it so.)
Presumably map re-rolls can only occur on each player's first turn?
If so we would only need to discount concessions on each player's first turn.
Tell me if I am wrong.
----------------
However, that leaves the issue of immediate concession in MP games which have not been agreed to allow re-rolls. Surely they should be Elo scored as normally, otherwise a player can simply concede with no penalty if he does not like the look of the map.
So we would need to put a check box in the UI for "allow map rerolls" to be checked (or not) when the challenge is created.
Comments?
