I've been setting up the rankings for the next release, as I do every week, but this week is proving to be a trial, since two big tournaments come off and only one goes on!
This wreaks havoc with the Best 17. For instance, Sugiyama "loses" 94 points this week, but as it turns out, it's 48 points from AO and 46 from PPO. Neither is in her Best 17 -- therefore she loses nothing!
Whereas someone like Rubin will lose her points from both AO and PPO, and will now have to be replaced with her Best 18th AND 19th for her lowest possible point total, but if AO surpasses either of those events (it pretty much will) I'll have to remember to knock off the Best 19th and not the Best 18th. This requires another column!
I swear, my stats background is taking a beating this afternoon!
Fellow ranking geeks, vent about the problems of the stagger!!
