Over the last few days, we've introduced a rankings page for women:
http://gpsteamchallenge.com.au/womensrankings.php

This has shown how individuals perform, overall, against each other for the first time.

Do you like the concept? Should it be extended to the full field of competitors? Are there privacy concerns about it?

Should there be other pages such as "Senior Grand Master Ranking"?

If so, how the heck do I organise such a menu?

I thunk the individual rankings would be great if it included all.

For the age categories you could just have a column which states the age group next to the name in the overall rankings without having to do a separate page.

If you are doing overall individual ranking across the categories, just use a count based on the number of competitors.

Would be cool to see where everyone stands, I think you'll end up with a lot more little battles going on as all the punters will be able to see where they are rather than just the top 10.

I cant see why not, other than showing me how much catching up I need to do ;)

I like it, so it's a go for me:)

Cheers GT

Slowie leads the 2sec by over 3 knots , the 5x10 by 3.5 knots and the NM by almost 4.

It makes Daffy besting him in the alpha something special.

Cool Table Neb's

Does show a great comparison and some results which may surprise some

Wow Nebbs thats cool, I'm up for the distance thing next weekend mate Merry Christmas.

great work nebbs! was a bit surprised to see slowboat on top,didnt think he was that good
also a great representation of the bug boys there as well-if only they had more wind

Now if you could Hyperlink the names to their respective PB's from that page, you would be able to see what areas you need to target to go up an notch or two

looks great guys.

p.s. I looked for the formula rankings but couldn't seem to find any[}:)]

I also think it'll, (to use a dubbya) incentivate more of the "speed" guys into paying more attention to the "lesser" divisions.

Great Nebs, don't see any reason why this shouldn't go up.
The rankings are only in context of this challenge and don't have a lot of meaning outside it.
It's probably also the best way of working out, "most improved" if we're going to do that.
If this is public it's obvious to every body how that decision was arrived at.

Don't think you need to include individual info on that page, it's big enough already.
You can follow the links provided on the times to that session, then the link to the persons PB, what would be nice somewhere in there is a link to the persons details page.
For instance, say I click on you're alpha, no 63, 19.19, takes me to your SEQLD - 2007-09-23 session. Now if I click on "nebbian" takes me to you're pb page.
If I then click on nebbian again, it would be nice if it took me here. http://gpsteamchallenge.com.au/showteam.php?id=1

Just guessing but think that would be less work than linking every name instance on the individual results page.

You must be logged in for the highlighting to work.

Also Elmo's hyperlink idea is there for you to test out.

Ohhh baby oh baby oh baby

Oh yer baby nice one nebs

Yep like it a lot

Hi Nebbian,

We all entered this event as teams, I don't have a problem with individual rankings for those who want to compete individually but it should be by request only.

Merry Christmas Nebbian. Thanks to you and Hardie for all the hard work done to cater to all us windsufferers. I like the new rankings, a lot. Now you have really let the cat out of the bag for the obsessives among us.[}:)]

I've got a problem- i'm too far down the table

Seriously though good work neb and hardie.

Only leaves the question so who has improved and who hasn't.

Another suggestion for next year is maybe look at gear used, sort of drop down box like seabreeze uses (but much simpler ie Manufacturer only) so we can look at what gear the top guys are using.

Love it, although it's a team challenge there's still room for intra team competition, in our team it happens anyway, this makes it more interesting!

I hate it Nebs, shows I'm 80th in speed mate, I'm just the padding to make the others look good

Na, kidding Nebs, looks good.
But I'm with sinker, keep the main focus on teams, but with top 10 as is. Then at the very end, show how we were all were going individually, keep us guessing.

Just like what happened this year I guess, just my thoughts mate.

It's just getting better all the time!

Brilliant!

I like it with the link so you can check it out or not. Now I,ve just got to work out how I get past Vando before the new year with no wind
