New "Power Ranking" ???

[jigger1986]

Greetings fellow CC clan members,

Just wondering if there is any interest in a new Power Ranking? (similar to the one Chuuuck used to do)

To be honest Im just bored and I enjoy pouring through numbers and making lists.
I know FD's ranking system has basically become the official ranking used by most clans, but I am interested to see the difference between mathematical rank and perceived rank.

Two questions...

1.Is this being done by anyone else? (I wouldnt want to step on anyones toes)
2.Is there even enough/any interest is this idea to revive it?

If there is enough interest I would be happy to take it on, (maybe make it a semi-annual ranking) send out the PMs to the clan leaders and compile the data.
If not than thats fine too, just bored.....

The CD's were going to do a power ranking top 25, but recently confirmed that they've shelved the project. I think it'd be interesting

I would plan on doing ALL clans (what like 60 of them now) with a standard deviation as Chuck did
Thanks for the info tho, I will discuss with them before I (if I) go ahead with this project

You should get people who are active in watching the wars to actively rank people every month/week. It could be like NCAA rankings for various sports.

Don't have me do it, because I don't pay enough attention to that, but I think it would be great.

I remember the old one. TNC got the list and was told to rank these clans. No one had any idea wtf anything was.

You almost need a coaches poll and you have to limit it.

I say 15-20 max
You can include the others receiving "votes" too just without a rank
The hard thing, is who is going to vote? Someone from a brand new clan has the same vote power as someone fully in tune with the clan world.

Most people would just copy the f-400 lol

Perhaps seek out 10 or 15 well respected members of the clan world.

I don't know what im saying.

Good night

I think the heart of the issue has been addressed here.. who really has an unbiased view and enough knowledge to fairly rank every clan?

I think its worth doing! Get each clan leader to do it or something. It'd just be fun to look at.

What about every clan has a leader do this? Then, even if everyone is biased, it doesn't matter because everyone will get the same boost from it.

I think it would be better to have 10-15 people. Each clan would have no more than 1 representative, but having every clan isn't really the best, IMO. The reason is because everyone is not informed.

Meh. What's the point of having a system that everyone can acknowledge will be biased? So that whichever clans are more popular can have a higher ranking in a power ranking than a ranking system based on numbers and results? Even if only 10-15 people contribute their biased opinions those opinions are still exactly that - based on gut feelings and truthiness.

Well, when i did the 1 vs 1 challenge and people did a mini power ranking for seedings, i would say a little under half couldn't properly answer / rate the clans. so either reducing it to the top 25 clans rating, or trying to get 50% answers from educated / informed people would probably be more accurate than getting an answer from everybody. as someone else pointed out, a lot of people said "use F400 for our rankings" because they weren't able to do their own.

Fox does have a point here, but also we must also agree that numbers cannot tell you all. While the F 400 is good this could be added in as a supplement and a BCS style ranking be done. 75% F 400 and 25% Coaches poll. Stay tuned. The CD's have not totally killed this idea yet.

the big problem with these ranking its how can some clan rank other clan if they never play in clan chalenges? You have clans who dont play with half clans here,and what parameters they need to use in ranking? Guess that some clan are good are not any valid argument for ranking at all.
