win - loss ratio

by **obysan** on Mon Nov 27, 2006 12:33 pm

Gday all,
Im curious if it is possible and if i am the only one who thinks that a win - loss ratio behind every persons name would be a good idea. Myself am curious how many games i won and lost and would like to know that as well from my competitors. Saves me counting all night long. lol.
Let me know

It would really be skewed based on singles or doubs / trips games...if it was broken down into those 3 sep numbers, I would find it very interesting.....

Agreed - I definitely play doubles games better than I do singles

A problem I could see...is it would constantly need to be updated...perhaps slowing the server. Every time you finish a game, it would have to calculate, and the number of games currently going on, and the number of users in them is quite staggering. It might not have an effect on the server, but I think it surely could.

Not really would depend on the best way of doing it. One way could be to make the data available for others to produce fancy stats. Another could be to work the results on the fly when going into the profile screen. The calculations really are very basic.

Try for a day Andy and see. If its slowing the server than no. If not...great.
Nice suggestion

It shouldnt have to slow the server down too much tho should it?? I mean its calculating every win already cause it will have to give points to the winner and take points of the losers, will it be hard doing this extra bit?? Im obviously not a computer genius so really would not have a clue.

what's there to calculate, it adds a game to your number of games played right? So just divide it into wins and losses, when you win one to the win column, when you lose one to that column

win - loss ratio

win - loss ratio

win-loss
