Regarding example 2), do you keep track of every player's 500 and 250 results? If you only write down the best 6 results, you might have some problems next year when some of the 6 best performances will get replaced. Rather than going through every tournament one by one, for every replacement, it might be better to keep track of everything right now.
Of course, every results are registered and stored. My plan is, I will archive and share here the monthly Ranking Lists, and after every year, I will do a year archive, and share it here too, and in that google sheet will be visible all the results of the players from last year, not only the best six results :) (in the monthly archive will be only the actual best six results though).
Anyway, PJ and me are working on the FAQs, where everything will be explained, for example these topic and expiration mehtod too.
Anyway, I think this new system is a great idea! Unless you find a way to somehow automate the process, doing monthly updates is probably your best option.
It will significantly reduce your workload if you only update the tournaments that ended during the month. And it will keep things fair for players who are still waiting for their 2nd game, while other players have already completed 3 or 4 games.
Well, we will see :D
I mean, everything has its pros and cons :D I will try to compensate the cons of this change :D

About your last theme, I read this tournament chat (I guess you wrote about this one):
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=20496

I simple copying here my posts:
Great, the first drama on the Tour :|
Many reactions here were not the right way, imo :(
Well, we have an issue, let's try to solve it in a CONSTRUCTIVE way!
@Thanatos: the players came here not for eating cookies but competing. The main goal of the Tour is the fun for everybody. Including you Thanatos, but everybody else too.
@Guys: help us to find a consructive solution instead of impatient drama posts (or trolling :P)
First of all, we should investigate wheter how slow Thanatos is actually? I mean, compared to the other slow players, he is really extremely slow? :O
And I suggest, that we continue this on the forum, easier posting and reading imo (and rakleader already started the theme overthere)
Ok, now I have to go, later I will check the slow players on the Tour what is the exact situation with this.

Ok, I did a quick check on the google sheet, and collected the finished games for some players.

Finished games of players who joined to 9 tourneys so far
18 - Pedro Luiz, Swisster
13 - mm3100, Pushover, JV
11 - ACL Tears
5 - Thanatos

Finished games of players who joined to 8 tourneys so far
16 - Min34
15 - USA Biches
12 - pip, Oh Noes, ThePlayer
11 - AI
10 - Matt431, Olivix
9 - awesomeusername, Onoma94
8 - Boubou

Nackickwind was mentioned as a really slow player, so I checked him too:
16 finished games on 12 tourneys

Ok, maybe this isn't the perfect statistics, but definitely shows that Thanatos really plays extremely slow. Slow players, like ACL Tears or awesomeusername (or Nackickwind) still have got 1+ finished games/joined tourneys ratio, while, after a very big gap, Thanatos has got only 0,56.


@Thanatos:
I don't want to tell you how you play Warlight at all, but what do you think, is there any possiblity to change your playing speed on the Tour? Maybe play 2 turns when you check your games, not only one, or I don't know. You know your playing habits and your schedules so only you know is it possible or not :O

And I am clear with that you didn't hurt any Tour rules, and always somebody must be as the slowest players, but check the second slowest players, is it possible that somehow you reduce that really big gap?

Posting everything I said in the tournament chat over here as well..

1) You have to realize, as said before, that nothing good will come from either side. Both sides feel they are right. 2) If you are now admitting to "playing slower" cuz people "piss you off" then you really do have issues. You are letting people get to you, and it honestly shows your self weakness. Its not funny or cool to react that way to anybody, but yourself.

And nobody is asking you to change the "way you play" persay, they are asking you to be respectful to the other waiting players of the xxx tournaments you are in.

This tournament started 45 days ago, and you are on turn 14, thats 3 days average per turn. You literally have to play almost last second every turn to make that number happen. Even playing a turn on the same day as another would make turn 14 impossible for this day.


Just about every time you go into a game you have the ability to do 2 turns... he is not doing this. He is playing his turn, and returning to the game 3 days later. There's no way to even deny that. The math shows.

Thx for reactions Mr. Nobody, but seems Thanatos won't use the forum, only the tourney chat, so I finished this theme here.

Ok, then let's see the new ranking system :D
I made retrospectively the monthly Rankings, based on our new ranking system (see above).

    	Muli					0		0-1		0	1
    	Wini					0		0-1		0	1
    Because it was the first started and first finished event, and it was only a 16 players tourney, everybody was a member of the TOP10 :D

    And, these 16 gentlemen are the Founding Fathers of the Tour :D
    (btw, I didn't remember that Panagoitis and Beren was joined to the first event :D )

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11ujmg9_5dUm6n8y3CAux8smAz2P8cfTIqmbMzwtYdJU/pubhtml

    Because there wasn't new finished event in July thus the same Rankings as July above.
    So congrats for Buns that he held the first position for 2 consecutive months ;)

    Still MoD's reign, but MIFRAN and Buns were coming :D The "Big Three" on the top here already :D

    And Beren and Nackikwind are in the TOP10 in this new ranking system (they never were a member of TOP10 in the previous system :O (I mean statistically, because both of them are very good players :D ))

  • November 2016
    are coming in November :D
    (at the latest on the first Monday morning of November)

    Until then some spoilers :D
    • As you already know, Buns won the 12. AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Macro Land event.
    • Fresh news, that first Grand Slam was finished, and the winner is MIFRAN!
      Very big congrats to him, with those 2000 points, his reing will start :O
      Congrats also for the other 7 players in the different final levels, all those positions meant big point prizes for them ;)
    • Two other events are in the final phase, only 2 remained games, so good chance they will be finished even in this month:
      • 9. AWP World Tour - Masters 1000 - Treasure Map
        Panagiotis vs FlyingBender in the last semifinal, Buns is waiting for the winner in the final.
      • 3. AWP World Tour - 250 Series - France LD
        Buns vs Muli in the last semifinal, Krzysztof is waiting for the winner in the final.

I would like to announce a change in the invitation system.

Starting next month, I will use a four steps invitation process:
  • On every Mondays I will create the forum topic and the tournament of the given weekly Tour event, and
    • invite the actual TOP25 players (TOP50 for major events!) from the Ranking List
      The Ranking List will be udpated monthly based, always before the first Monday of the actual month, so I will use this Rankings for invitation for all Tour events in the given month.
    • invite 10 other players (20 for major events!) are chose by me (giving them Wild Card)
  • On every Tuesdays
    • invite the actual TOP50 players (TOP100 for major events!) from the Ranking List
      This mean those players who haven't invited already on Monday, so it will mean 15-25 (30-50 for major events!) invited players in this step (depends on how many TOP50 (TOP100) players invited by Wild Cards on Monday)
    • invite 10 other players (20 for major events!) are chose by me (giving them Wild Card)
  • On every Wednesdays, at previously announced exact hours, I will invite every remained players from my invitation list.
    • If you are in that list then you will receive a tourney invitation, and the only what you need for the participation is to join asap, before the event will be filled.
    • If you aren't in the invitation list yet, but would like to play, then you need write here (or send mail to me) until 10 minutes before I send the invitations, and I will add you to the list and invite you to the tourney.
    • If you are in that list but don't wish to receive further Tour invitations, write here or any AWP topic (or send mail to me) and I will remove you from my invitation list. Later you can rejoin at anytime, I just don't want to spam anybody.
  • On next day when the event filled and started (it will mean likely on every Thursdays), I will create the Challenger tournament (with the same template, and with 32 players), and invite all players who didn't join nor decline the "main" event.
    These Challenger events only start after the smaller (64 players) events.
Ok, let's see, what does this mean in practice.
  • For major events (Grand Slam, Masters) with 128 players
    The first two days of the week, 120-140 players will be invited (the TOP100 plus 20-40 Wild Cards)
  • For smaller events (500 and 250 Series) with 64 players
    The first two days of the week, 60-70 players will be invited (the TOP50 plus 10-20 Wild Cards)
Based on the present accepted invitation rate, it will mean, that about only 10% of the spots will be remained for Wednesday (this is 50% now).

In exchange, Challenger events will be created after the "main" events, and will be invited all players who didn't able to join to the main.
Of course, you can gain points (which counted in your best six) from these Challenger events too:
  • 80 points for the winner
  • 50 points for the final
  • 30 points for the semifinals
  • 15 points for the quarterfinals
  • 5 points for the Round16
Furthermore, the two players in the final will win a Wild Card for the next Masters event, and the two other players in the semifinals will win a Wild Card for the next 500 Series event! These Wild Cards will use on Tuesdays.

My plan is that in the future, will be separated "unofficial" Rankings updates and posts in the news topic here, after every finished Tour events (only different between the official and unofficial updates, that will be one official updates per month, and all Tour records will be based on these official monthly updates only)

But now, I will put the 4 finished events in October in one post.
