I'd love some feedback on what you think of it.

It looks ok, but what is the change to "Go For It" and "Sprint" mentioned in the forum.

and how do you calculate the reputation score?

Not a bad site. I see you have a phpBB forum running. Any chance you might encourage the members to join this one if they haven't already, to get a more general and global discussion on Bloodbowl

Reputation is calculated by a complex formula and isn't for the weak of heart. It's based on the Chess Federation's ranking system with a bit of tweaking stolen from the WOTC system and some additions of our own. Here is the formula as it stands:

Win Probability = 1/(10^(((Opponent’s Reputation – Your Reputation)/150) + (( Opponent's TR - Your TR)/70)))+ 1)

php code looks like this:

Code: Select all

    $winprop = 1/(pow(10,((($repagainst - $repfor) / 150) + (($tragainst - $trfor)/70)))+1);

This probability is then used to recalculate each player’s rating after the match. In the equation below, players receive 1 point if they win the match, 0 if they lose, and 0.5 for a draw.

Players’new ratings are determined as follows:

Player’s New Rating = Player ’s Old Rating + (K-Value * (Scoring Points – Player’s Win Probability))

K-Value = 10

Code: Select all

   if ($goalsfor > $goalsagainst) {$winlose=1;}
    if ($goalsfor < $goalsagainst) {$winlose="0";}
    if ($goalsfor==$goalsagainst) {$winlose=.5;}
$newrep = $repfor + (10*($winlose-$winprop));

The result is a change in Reputation based on how tough the opponent was and how likely they were to win. For example, if I'm playing a really tough opponent who has a high reputation and a high TR, then he will be risking more points for a lose than I will, but will gain less from a win, because he is expected to be the winner.

The new GFI rule works as follows:

You may make as many GFI's as you like, the first is at 2+, the second is at 3+ and so own until you are making each additional GFI at a 6+.

Sprint has been changed to the following:

Sprint: (Agility Skill)

You may add +1 to a single GFI roll. You may only do this once per action.

I'll see what I can do.

JKL/neominal,

That's cool that you use the WOTC/WCO rules as well ... I thought I was the only one using them. Rather than the math, I just use a modified table borrowed from the old DCI/WOTC site a while back when it showed such things.

Neo,

with those new GFI rules have Skaven/Woodie teams run away with it (excuse the bad pun)

after all it is only 4 extra squares for some and with mutations, sure feet and sprint and pro it must make scoring a doddle. you would just need to break 1 hole in the LOS or on the wing and then you have pretty much created a 1 turn scoring machine, even more so than with the current ruleset.

just a thought

I was affraid of that too, but it's actually pretty hard when you look at the numbers. For a MA 8 player with Sprint and Sure Feet it will be a 10% chance to make it. To get to that point required two skills.

I don't think we've had a one turn score yet.

Hi

I like your site very much. I am currently looking for something similar for the league I playing with my friends. And I was wondering if it is possible to use your system? I also have an suggestion, what about making each skill, such as block, dodge and so on, a link with a javascript that pops up a window describing the skill? And the stats page does'nt look alright. The page is nice and I hope you develop it further!

i got a splitting headache trying to read this post... maybe next time there's a war they should just walk through the desert with huge signs covered in equations...
