Records list or leaderboard?


Recommended Posts

I wonder if it would be possible to implement a record list or leaderboard? What I have in mind is not a "masterpoints won" leaderboard, but a list showing top performances. I play a lot of robot tournaments, and the following would interest me to see:

 

Top scores in Robot Reward tournaments (all-time, monthly, daily)

Most scores over 10,000 in Robot Reward tournaments (all-time, monthly)

Most four-board bingos in Bridge Bingo tournaments (all-time, monthly)

Fastest time to bingo in Bridge Bingo tournaments (all-time, monthly)

 

I suppose the decision to implement something like this would depend on

(1) The time to program and maintain such a list

(2) The increase in play that would result from people trying to make records (I think this would be more if there were separate lists for each of the forms; like for the robot reward games, separate lists for Free Robot Race, $0.25 Robot Reward, $1 Robot Reward, $5 Robot Reward; then people might try to set records on each of them)

(3) The decrease in play that would result from people getting discouraged by the "high scores" (I don't know if this effect would be real or not, but I suppose it's worth considering)

 

I suppose you could implement something similar for matchpoint tournaments too... highest score in a tournament (all-time, monthly, daily; perhaps with some minimum number of competitors). I assume there would be significant economies of scale, so that once the first record list is implemented, it would be relatively cheap to create another.

 

Thanks for the consideration.

I don't think a perpetual list will be of much interest to most people. However, a periodic list of top stats is probably going to be popular.

 

For robot reward, the last time we published something:

And that list was published before the recent robot improvement that significantly improved robot speed and performance. Everyone playing robot reward tourneys now have a higher chance of scoring higher. I'll get the list sometime soon for the news. :)

 

Bingo - exact time is hard to track. Best we can do right now is how many boards, which is obviously 4. Plenty of players have bingoed in 4 boards. I've had it happen twice personally. http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/news_fetch.php?id=553 Last time we checked was in March. Updates will come in the news.
