If a squad of one inherently has a better score than a squad of more, wouldnt changing the min number to 4 just give small squads of 4 that advantage? What if a squad of 10 only has 1 active player? Wont their score essentially be from just 1 person?

Now you got it. If minimum is 4 and only 1 is in it, the other 3 are dummies that score zero and affect the average.

Same as if there are q0 but only one active. That squad will not be ranked very high.

One should never waste a good trout like that, LOL

Is it really that big a deal? Not that I or the very few of my squadron that still plays cares, since we turned 30 years old this past year.... We got our top of the scoreboard kicks flushed out long before coming to AH!

That math equation sounds like it might be the best possible way to correct er meant code a fix for the 1 player squad...

Disbanded my "squad" but it still shows up in the rankings.  Sorry.

I only made the squad so Snail would quit sending me invites.    :P

If a squad of 1 is ranking better than a squad of many, score should be the last thing on your mind... .

Maybe a gang -err, squad getting beat by one guy is a bit of ironic karma.    :D

It is actually easier to score as 1 even if you are a group of 1. It is averages.

And that's why a squad ranking based on scores makes even less sense than usual.
As much as I always have loved stats, scores and rankings, I totally ignored squad scores for that very reason, both personally and for the purpose of game analysis.  :old:

Hey Waystin, in that case have Monster make a POTW second squad called "POTW Monster" and he can use his #1 monthly rank to keep POTW at the top of the squad listings. It's kind of lame if that is all it takes to be first on the squad ranking list each month.
