In Response To: Giant 32 Criteria (Perry Gartner)

Hi Perry,

It sounds like you are trying to turn the Giants list into an objective ranking of the top players of the game. I don't think that's what the list is intended to be, or what it will be as long as voting is involved.

A better way to create an objective ranking is something like the Ratings List that Kent Goulding ran a number of years ago. Include the result of every match from every tournament. The more data, the better. I agree with your sentiment that recent results are more important than long ago results. A possible modification to the standard ratings formula could be some sort of depreciation of rating points over time.

Tom
