Winning quote?

Post by StupePitt »

I just played 6 games Sky Team and landed 5 times successful. My winning quote is only 42%.

How is this quote calculated?

Win percentages are really weird on BGA. It involves some weird calculations that don't translate well to coop games. This is a site wide issue, nothing I (developer of Sky Team) can do about it.

It is a bit frustrating, indeed!
Played 125 games of Sky Team, 51 victories, 20% win rate.
Even though, 51/125 isn't too high - I'd consider myself reasonably experienced, by now, having landed on several red and black airports.
Still I got 78 ELO and thus can't even play arena.
As far as I have recognized, there are almost no players over ELO 100, which is a pitty.

Is there a chance to report this issue to bga developers, since it surely is not game specific but seems to be coop game specific?

Cheers, Michael

If that's your goal, forget it, there's no arena for cooperative games.

Didn't think about that - very true!
Still a bit frustrating...

I'm gonna take a guess (which could be completely wrong, and which I haven't tested) that BGA divides each win by the number of winning players (in Sky Team that means always winning would give you a 50% quote)

My reasoning is that:

(5/6)*(1/2) is 41.6%, which rounds to 42%

Tl;dr your winning quote should be double what it is
