Hi, I am a bit confused how the contest part of CP is calculated.
I read it is N^((N-C+1)/N) where N is number of players with a score > 0 and only 3 best contest results are added. I have exactly 3 participations but when I calculate myself I get a bit more than I really have.
Difference might come from that in the history and in the leaderboard not N is shown but also the score=0 players.
Where can I see the real N value on the site easily? (Question might be also valid for multis not just contest)
I agree, it’s confusing.
As part of the ranking rework project, we’re actually working on improving the ranking panel that opens when you click on your ranking in the profile page:
Thx! This upcoming CG point counting method looks fair and well balanced. Getting so much more points for my mediocre CSB bot than for any other work I have done was really weird.
Btw even if CSB is fun, I still don’t understand how it could attract over 80k players , while most other multis got just a few thousands or even less…
Ahh, I forgot about that. That also answers why CP is a calculated with N = cca 50k instead of 80k. So there might be 30k players who just started it to be shown in the leaderboard, but did not really submit anything that made them into being part of N.
