Ken's proposal

In Response To: Ken's proposal (Matt Cohn-Geier)

Matt, do you have an alternative?

I believe the backgammon community should strive to find something that is better than the Giants Voting, and I'm offering an alternative. It is based on five years of results oriented data. I can tweak out the aberrations like Dana by imposing minimum tournament participation requirements. Falafel only entered 14 main ABT events in the last five years and didn't win anything significant. I can't tweak him upward. Petko entered 43 main events, but fared slightly below that of an average Open player. No tweaks can elevate that. Sorry.

Which "ABT Players with strong results" are missing from my list? I had to collect my data by hand because of some shortcomings with the data in the USBGF's database.
