Someone Should Iancho All Streamed Matches

In Response To: Someone Should Iancho All Streamed Matches (Paul Weaver)

The main problem with Iancho's Gridgammon-based PR ranking is that it is derived from "skittles" games, with no money at stake and no trophy to win. We can't even get airline miles for our rating points on the servers! I'm more comfortable with rating lists based on live tournament play, with both PR and win-loss records included.

I realize that there's no good way to combined both these measures in one chart, so since the Larsen-Silliman chart, and to some extent the ABT, take care of the win-loss, an accompanying PR ranking chart, also based on live play where something was at stake, can help complete the picture.

I realize it would be a lot of work for someone, so if it never happens, I'm all right with it. It will also be a headache for that person(s), because inevitably they will have to make decisions about what matches are included and which are not. This will also tend to make the job thankless. But for whoever does it, thanks in advance anyway.

(In fairness, should we also make Larsen-Silliman into a verb?)
