[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was built by a data scientist using machine learning. It’s very good and better than any other biased ranking system out there (I see you got soccer, top drawer soccer and all the other subjective ranking groups out there with an agenda)….

It is very comprehensive. AI is probably making it even better.

Perfect - no. But very good.

Stop saying AI - no need for AI - it's a straight ELO algorithm that has been around forever.

This is correct theres no AI going on.

Although if you had access to the raw data you could use it to pull info out.

You could also sell coach performance metrics to club owners. Or club performance metrics to leagues. ;-)[/quote]

The secret sauce is the dev is a maniac about curating the data. They probably could sell it off, but seriously if you know nothing about this type of thing - it's SUBSTANTIALLY better than any subjective measure before. Yes you can skew it, but over time it's been extremely accurate. [/quote]
Hes using webscrapers to pull game result data into excel or a database. Then he massages the data to get into a usable format. Finally publishing the daily results which gets shown in the ranking app.

I agree not much work. The hardest part would be keeping track of all the tournamants and random events that are going on. But because they provide links to schedules before the tournament/event it wouldn't be that difficult to add new all the time. Also I'm sure theres less than 20 different schedule formats so once youve got one pulling in it will work for that type going forward.

For leagues + tournamants. If you want to throw some roadblocks at the rankinggs app guy. Present schedule data as a json. Or maybe require logins + track who is looking at all the data in a scripted way then block that user. ;-)[/quote]
