Squad Rankings
« on: April 22, 2009, 02:32:36 PM »
Can anyone from HTC give me the formula or method in which Squad Rankings (especially Fighter) are figured?
I've always been under the presumption that they were done the same way as individual scores. Basically add up the individual rankings of each of the 5 categories and the lowest total number is #1. But apparently this is NOT the case. Please inform. :aok

Spanking the score hores is the formula to attaining the #1 squad ranking.  :devil

I'm curious about this too.  All the sections, except fighter, seem to be calculated in the same manner as Shawk pointed out above.  I always try to note the top fighter squad stat breakdown in our monthly squad newsletter.  I don't mention any squad names but it's nice to see what kinda of numbers it takes.  Often the squad with the best overall Fighter rank clearly doesn't have the best rankings for the separate fighter sections.  I've even seen fighter rankings change months after the camp ended and those who were ranked "too high" get knocked down.
I've been hesitant to post about this for fear of it looking like a witch-hunt against another squad - there is enough unpleasant behaviour already on the boards.
So in fear of opening a can of worms, can someone share how this is calculated?

No, actually this has been screwed up for quite some time. I can give particulars if ya'll wish. I've seen WoT be scored as #1 in fighter before when by my calculations we should not have been. And Muppets should have been #1 Fighter squad on several occasions when they got shown as 3rd or higher.

Actually The Top 2 shown right now in fighter shouldn't even be in the top 5. Just an observation.
I guess my point is, if your gonna score something, shouldn't it be correct?

I would extend that to #3, but I'm biased...

Well, either correct or shown how to calculate it.
