The BG Coaches Poll [archive]

[BGtheBrain]

I am going to assemble a group of people who will be used to vote for something similar to a coaches poll.

This has been done before where each clan had a vote and ranked every clan in order from 1 to however many clans we had. In this poll, there will not be reps from every clan.

Im looking for a diverse group of people who are very in tune with the clan world who will be willing to submit a ranking of the top 25 clans (exact # of clans determined later)

Format - In the works
Each person will rank the clans via pm.
Clans will be awarded points depending on what they are ranked (Rank 1 means 25 points... Rank 25 means 1 point)
I will be removing the 2 highest and 2 lowest rankings received by any clan (Not being ranked counts as a 0 ranking)
1 Rep per clan

More to come later.

If interested in this please pm me. I will be pretty selective on who is allowed to participate in the rankings.

I figured its worth a shot.

I like the idea. But I don't have enough experience with the top clans (or even bother to follow how they are doing) to provide a decent ranking, so I'm not a good candidate to be a voter.

Add me in please.

[angola]

I'm willing to represent AOC.

[BGtheBrain]

updated to add Bruce and angola.
Up to 6 people so far.

[peanutsdad]

You can ad me as the Mythology representative.

[jefjef]

Sure. Why not.

[t4mcr53s2]

i'll rep Aok but as a new clan I'm inexperienced for your purpose this year

[freakns]

i can go as Otpisani representative...

although, i think you will need to change a format a bit. its common knowledge that every clan(expect maybe TOFU cause Dako is dying of jealousy when he sees all the sexiness in our clan) would vote Otpisani as top clan, so if you remove that we would finish with 0 points(top2 in every clan voting+0 points from TOFU as they wouldnt have us on their list)

[swimmerdude99]

I would think you might contact Leehar. he is very in tune with the ongoings.

[Chariot of Fire]

Hi BG, thanks for the PM. Yeah sure, feel free to add me as the TOFU rep.

It will be quite a bit of work to do for each rep (if researched properly) so do you mind me asking what purpose it will serve, given that there's already the widely accepted F400 ranking table? Cheers.

[ViperOverLord]

If you send me a pm wanting a vote. I'll vote for Man D. (Manifest Destiny).

[ScaryTeded]

Jimmy V Will represent the LOTZ in this matter as he is more in tune with these matters.

Pretty good response rate so far.

I do want to reiterate that signing up is not guaranteeing a voting spot. One of the biggest challenge will be to have informed voters who will be capable of judging without just guessing or copying/pasting the f400. For people who are interested, but not up to speed, I plan on offering some guidance and probably assembling a sort of "voters guide" with important links and such.

@COF - I think that the perception of clans will be slightly different than the statistical ranking. This is not a system looking to compete with and especially not to replace the f400, rather to compliment it. Conquer Club is full of opinionated people and with something as important as clans, why not find a way for these opinions to be pulled together and laid out in a clean manner? The thing I am most excited to see, is the impact of a war amongst the top clan. (not using specifics) but lets say 1 plays 4 and 4 beats 1 pretty handily. I expect this to cause a shake up in this poll more drastic than in the f400.

hummm thanks for the invite bg. but this will just be a popularity vote system. some examples would be

the pack afos empire tsm...

the pack pissed several clans off (not aka) so these clans would put them at the bottom of these 4 clans on there ranking (you could say they wouldn't but they would...) and even put lower ranked clans higher up going by how they like there members.

same as things like the f400 all these done was stuffed up the clan world before these ranking systems you could challenge any clan and they would accept if there rooster wasnt 2 busy... now it is all about how far down the ranking system they would end up... lets just bin all this crap play your wars cups and enjoy your time playing games...


i think a better idea would be to have a ranking system on how the clan behaves during a war... with marks for 2 list some

game play
organization
thread attitude
game chat...
