Unfair Ranklist For Codechef-Ratings(Too-much-crowding)

general
13

I suggest that the rating system be modified to include ‘inflation’, that participation in recent events counts for more than in events longer ago. For example, every month each user’s existing rating points should be multiplied by say 0.99, while new points are added in full, so that users need to keep competing to maintain their rank.

Bro,I started cp 6 months ago and have observed you since then :slight_smile: Bro,you are a pro. I was just thinking of those 2-3 star guys. They go through lots of demotivation and leave cp and they are the actual majority in Codechef :slight_smile:

Totally agree… That’s why I am saying both rank list would do…

That seems like forcing people to participate to keep the work they did earlier…

Doesn’t seem fair to those who want to maintain an increase rating graph. The idea of removing users who haven’t been participating in the last 6 months/ 1 year, should be good enough.

That already exists. Go to your page there are separate tabs for Long, Cookoff and Lunchtime ratings

he is saying that the rating should be separate, no overall rating.

And what’s the final decision ? :slight_smile:

I think the current ranking is also right. It compares you with all the people who have participated in codechef. It is a ranking we say historical. If we took into consideration only the last few months, we would never know how we would compare with all those who participated over the years. In conclusion, I think we need both rankings.

Think about it.Comparing the current players with players who used to play 5-years ago, is outright unfair. Because there is a huge difference in level of contests+contestants of Codechef 5-years ago and now. Now, the difficulty level is high and even the quality of contestants is much much better, so you can never really compare both of them in anyway.
This ELO-RATING system came from chess, where it is followed more strictly and properly,even they removed the greatest chess-player of all time :-“KASPAROV” from the FIDE-Ranklist when he retired from playing chess :slight_smile: So, if such a big federation is doing it, there must be some sense to it? Even codeforces does the exact same thing…So its apparent, what Codechef should do :slight_smile:

Think what will happen after 10-20 years? There will be 10,000’s of ranks assigned to every single rating point…can you imagine how messy it will get, when person with rating 1630 has a 2-lac. rank and a person with rating 1650 has 1-lac. rank , lol :stuck_out_tongue:
