Members of the Rankings HQ team have been developing and running rankings systems for the past 10 years however recently the focus has shifted to offering a more complete online service that players of games around the world can benefit from.

The result is an online international gaming portal where players of various game systems and different countries can have a single site that lists all the results, articles, clubs and tournaments they are interested in. Players are able to create and update their RHQ profile for free giving them the ability to network with other players instantly via the "friends" and messaging functionality as well as stay abreast of the happenings in their areas of interest via the event calendar and news feed engine.

The initial launch of the site includes Warhammer Fantasy for the United Kingdom, Australia, United States and New Zealand with Warhammer 40K and Flames of War game systems to be launched soon. There are also several countries preparing data that will be added to RHQ in the near future.

Development of Rankings HQ is ongoing and new functionality will be released on a regularly basis both planned and based on player feedback.

If you have existing results in Rankings HQ, you will be able to link it to your new profile during the registration process.

Head over to www.rankingshq.com, register and join in the fun.

Edit: Nvm i see.

Very interesting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275510/1285414.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275510/1285414.page GMT TOs. The number of games played, and number of players in attendance at an event determine the number of points available for a tournament.

So. the max number of points you can gain at ANY event is 100 pts. In the UK that requires at least 60 players and 5 games.

If you had 60 players but only 3 games, the max score would be 3/5 x 100 = 60 points for first place. and 30 points for 30th place (i.e halfway down the field)

Note that for a 6 game tournament with 120 participants first place would STILL only get 100 points. Just the same as the winner of a 65 player 5 game tournament.

I'm not entirely certain how it scales down for player numbers under 60 as I don't run the system...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275510/1288085.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275510/1288085.page GMT
