adVantageRank The Double Jump System Questions
Double Jump System • Upward movement occurs when: • Player defeats a player of higher ranking • Player can move up to their highest previous win in one jump • No upward movement when: • Player defeats another of lower ranking • Player loses a match • Player’s last best win was the same as their present ranking • No limit on amount of movement each win. • Ability driven • Time dependant – eliminates movement due to fluke wins • Loser goes down a maximum of 1 position • Dynamic System – Results can be submitted late. System recalculates from oldest match Players very quickly rise through the rankings to the ability level Questions
