Losers_not_ranked: Results with draws and tied placements.
Posted: 29 November 2020, 14:43
It would be really nice to get some detailed information on exactly how to use the Losers_not_ranked option, and how to set the final player's scores, because I think there is a big misunderstanding (at-least for me) on what developers should do to make ELO and arena calculations consistent.
1.
In one instance (a draw) where ELO should be exchanged and isn't.

2.
And another instance (shared placement) where ELO shouldn't be exchanged and is.
Look at the calculation between the players is 2nd place.

Totally lost.
I've suggested this before, but been shot-down, I think it would be good to have a separate int field for placement in the players table, so the player_score (usually VP score) that you get doesn't necessarily have to altered just before the end of the game to suit the results placement.
