yeah, they are on a big roll, I was with them from the start last year, this year I decided to play from an underdog team so I went with Roo Island this year, thankfully they have been on a roll this year, today is the key matchup though, I'm up to 37 wins...

Go Roo Island!

I'm wondering if i need some rest... i saw, some times now, that the mutant yooyu behave like the darigan yooyu or like the snow one... before sometimes just made some curve.

Also I tried an acumulative standings. I saw one that just sum the total number of winnings and so. But if the YYB is the main game why MSN and SS should count equal. Then I thought to assign points (3 for winning, 1 each draw and 0 for loosing) and made the same distinction (30 for YYB win, 3 any other win; 10 a YYB draw and 1 the others). This are the top 5 according each system. The complete table shows that 1st to 3rd are so close, like 4th to 8th.

1) Krawk Island 27 W; 3 D; 3 L

I played a lot against KI -- I had only 182 wins before yesterday. I wish they'd hurry up and update the standings!

Also:

I noticed that lately, too, but I think it's intentional. The rules page says this:

Does anyone know the ranking system?

There is legend that:

1 YYB win = 1 point
1 SS game = .30 points
1 MSN game = .075 points,

Add them up. That is your 'points total'.

The ranking for points then is;

Beginner - less than 50
Rank 1 - 50-99 points
Rank 2 - 100-149 points
Rank 3 - 150-199 points
Rank 4 - 200-300 points (not happy here yet – break point to 5 not yet certain)
Rank 5 - 300-374
Rank 6 - 375-450
Rank 7 - 450-525
Rank 8 - 525-600
Rank 9 - 600-700
Rank 10 - 700-800
Rank 11 - 800 -900
Rank 12 - 900-1000
Rank 13 - 1000-1125
Rank 14 - 1125-1250
Rank 15 - 1250-1400
Rank 16 - 1400 - 1550
Rank 17 - 1550 - 1800
Rank 18 - 1800-?

So, based on that, number of goals means nothing in terms of personal rank? I know they're extremely important in team points, but it seems like they should have some kind of weight for each user, too.

Edit: Whoops, thought that said .75 not .075

I think the goals will count toward your team winning. But the wins will count toward your ranking.

I'm not sure if that's the best ranking system. I found biggirl123_6_6 look-up and she seems to have a different ranking system. But it looks accurate.

seeems really odd that score in msn and slushie don't count towards your ranking...

I don't think that ranking system is correct... a while ago I had 15 YYB wins, 105 SS games, and 236 MSN games and was still a beginner. Now I have the same number of SS and MSN games, and 122 YYB wins, but I'm still level 2. One theory I've heard (after another somewhat similar formula was disproved) is that there is a cap placed on the number of SS and/or MSN games that will count toward your score.
