why don't the rankings take account of how good a player is instead of just counting how many games they have played?

Someone that has played 10 games and won 10, will be ranked below someone that has played 30 games and won 11. That doesn't seem right... has anyone noticed this before? Is it likely to ever get changed in the future?

to be fair if a player is signed up,you would expect them to play in a lot of frames in a season, unless 1. they don't turn up regularly in which case they are possibly not proper team mates so sod em or 2. they don't get picked much, which means they are probably not that good so I'm sure they won't really mind what their rankings are

Yeah I see what you mean, not sure what the answer is really.
I don't think the rankings should be a measure of how comitted someone is to their team, I think it should be a measure of how good they are with a pool cue. On the other hand if it was a straight forward win/loss ratio you'd have the absurd situation of someone who played one game the whole season and won being above someone who played 20 and won 19 which wouldn't seem right either! juggling

My snooker league does it on percentages, with the proviso that you have to have played a certain number of games, which used to be 15 out of the 22 I think.

Other leagues do it as a frame difference.

ie Played 22 won 16 Lost 6 is +10.
Played 10 Won 10 Lost 0 is +10.

My snooker league is the same as Longshnaks but there have been instances when people have said he won 11/12 I am 21/out of 24. He has a better percentage but can you be sure he would have won at least 10 if he played 12 more. Frankly no you cant be sure....

I think all have valid reasons for and against, this leagues does reward both attendance and performance.

If a footballer played half the games brilliantly and was injured or unavailable the next, he wouldn't win player of the year.

We've had this before on the old site.

I think the points system for rankings is as followed.

A win for a singles, doubles and league cup games get you 5 points for each win.
In the league a win will get you 4.5 points in the 1st Division, 4.25 in 2nd, 4.00 in 3rd, 3.75 in 4th, 3.5 in 5th.

You get ranking points for winning but its structured to recognise you will be playing better players week in week out the higher the division you are in.

If two players have identical records but play in different divisions, the player in the higher division will be ranked higher then the other.

OK I'm in devils advocate mood this evening.
Can't say I think that's a great system.

If you are giving extra points for playing in a higher division, why not give extra points for playing at the front of the squad? Surely it's harder to win 10/10 games if your playing first than it is if your playing last?

Looking at the history of previous winners, Terry Doke, Eddie Taylor, Jason Deegan, Steve Field, Rod Altes. I think jacko has won it also.

It doesn't seem to be too far away from being right on the basis of those winners i would say.

Looking at this year, with Rod Altes & Sean Halligan having a couple of question marks against their names to be added & a Doubles final still to play, & also Danny Evans up there & still in the singles, i would say the rankings are not far off the mark this year either.

I know Graham Thompson is top & in the doubles final also, but you would have to say he deserves it if he wins it although he may not have been most peoples prediction at the start of the season.

I personally don't think there is much wrong with it. It rewards consistancy & also rewards commitment through the whole season.
I would rather be playing golf
