As mentioned some time ago in the general Nonosweeper thread, I'd prefer to have some additional rankings which are less sensitive against "lucky punches" (i.e. a record time which is a lot faster than the "normal" times of a player).
I suggest again a ranking of Top10-times. The ranking time for each level would be the sum of the 10 fastest games a player has achieved in that level. Those 10 times can be easily seen together by looking at the "Best times" table available in the Pro Version (see picture on the left of
http://www.nonosweeper.com/pro.html).
For missing times (if anyone has completed less than 10 games in a level), a penalty time is counted. I propose the last listed time of a player, with an additional penalty of 10% of that time.
An example: My genius times are 216, 299, 322, 367, 607. So, my penalty times 6 to 10 would be 607 + 607·10% = 607 + 61 (always rounded up to next integer!) = 668. My ranking sum for Genius level would be 216+299+322+367+607+668·5=5151
If that is too difficult to calculate, we can take 999 as time for all missing ones.
Btw, I'm quite sure that, finally, no one will really care about the calculation of the penalty as to get in direction to the top of the rankings, you will have to achieve ten decent times regardless what the penalty algorithm is.
I know that at least Roland Seibt likes the idea of a ranking of Top10 times.
What does the rest think of it? Any comments or ideas?
