@hexx: I recieved it and just wrote you a re-mail.

What I wanted to say is that I'm not able to play Nono much next weeks, even months.
My military service begins tomorrow, so I will have only weekends to be at home and play some Nono. It will be nearly only enough for tournys, I think.
So everybody who is also chasing the sub-50 can breath out, because probably I won't be the one in the next weeks to get this score (even if others don't think like this Wink ).

So happy sweeping everybody and happy record breaking!!! Cheesy

@Luca: Hey, just looked at your stats and saw that vids are available. Can you sent me the 13s and 1s vids please?

Btw, just updated my personal stats.

@Maruda:

Yeah! Luca's right.
It is hard to believe that you still don't have at least 1x1s. Tongue

If i remember correctly, you improved your Int record from 15s to 13s after T1 (season 6), a grid similar to Int.
Maybe it's time to do the same again!  Cheesy
I´m sure you can fulfill the task, the key word is PERSEVERANCE. Wink
What do you think?

Interesting that, last week, i played a custom board i have called "Beginner 10" (with 10 blank squares).
After almost 1 hour my best times were:
1.87 Grin, 2.03 (6 clicks!!!!!!Shocked), 2.10, 2.11 and 2.17 .

In short, it's easy, if you try you CAN GET IT.  Smiley

Composite Score!

How about a total score using all 20 of our best times scores? Maybe include a ranking table using this score???

Just add each of the 5 scores of your best times from each of the 4 categories and use this composite score to rank users.

This would be a great measure of well rounded players.

Mine stands at 2234, but could improve with a new top 5 time in any of the categories. I'll be shooting for a score below 2000 before the end of the year!

Yariv, is it possible to add this rating to the best times page? and maybe make it part of a ranking table?

@Gene: I´m afraid this value would only show abilities on big boards (greatly prefers genius score). Let´s have an example with Roland and Maruda

Roland 1, 11.8, 59.6, 198.4=170
Maruda      2, 13.8, 61.4, 159=172

If we sum their scores:
Roland  1354
Maruda 1181

@Nikolaj

You do make an excellent point.

I agree that this does greatly favor the genius ratings, but then, most of you top guys aren't blowing each other away on beginner and intermediate... Anyone can get a dreamboard and a bit of luck on the first 2 or 3 levels (which is probably one of the reasons for having top 5 scores in each category rather than just one) but when it comes to genius, luck starts to play much less of a role in my opinion.

In my opinion, your brother is a better sweeper even though Roland wins in the first 3 levels. (with MUCH respect to Roland as you and both of them are better than i am) I believe that sustaining concentration over periods of 2-5 minutes rather than for 1-60 seconds is much more impressive. Also, the genius scores have the most room for improvement.

Maybe good, maybe bad depending on who you are... One thing I can tell you is if there was a top 10 list for this, nobody except people who are or have been in division 1 would make it.

@Gene: Maybe you´re right. This cathegory could force some players (like me or Stephan  Grin) to play genius level a bit more (I have only 18 finished games  Wink)

@Nikolaj, I agree that I would probably have to play more genius games (I have only 14 finished games, by the way). On the other hand, I'm quite sure that I would be within the Top10, so I wouldn't really care whether I'm #7, #8 or #9...

@Gene, to quote you: "when it comes to genius, luck starts to play much less of a role in my opinion."
In my opinion, this is only partly true. In genius, you need another type of luck, namely having a good constellation of mines. Otherwise, there are easily some situations where you're stuck. These situations can mostly be solved by correct guessing or by real calculating. Both of them need much time which causes me to say that you need also TOO MUCH luck to finish a genius game...

@Gene, I was just curious how such a ranking would look like:

So, if a player has submitted 4x5 times, the sum wouldn't be anything different than the unweighted sum of the displayed averages, multiplied with 5. This would lead to the following ranking:

1. Luca Vezzoni [1061]
2. Gero Waelz [1074]
3. hexx [1095]
4. Maruda [1181]
5. Roland Seibt [1354]
6. Nikolaj [1475]
7. Jon Simonsen [1501]
8. Stephan Bechtel [1540]
9. Dan [1611]
10. edward rhoads [1674]
11. Qetuth [1716]
12. Yariv Hastilow [1805]
13. Greg [1882]
14. Katy LaVallee [1934]
15. piman [2003]
16. Raquel Lozano [2180]
17. Gene [2232]
18. Kire BG [2361]
19. Caren [2471]
20. LailaHoetoft [2582]
21. Vladimir Orlov [2889]
22. Richard [2929]
23. Spot [3068]
24. Rincewind [3070]
25. ainle [3215.5]
26. Elmar Zimmermann [3286]
27. SeeFarky [3302]
28. Brett Z [3358]
29. Ivan [3369]
30. Foster [3569]
31. Isengrim [3895]
32. Michelle [4100]
33. JOE D [4214]
34. Saulo Achkar [4401]
35. neder [4444]
36. eL bEn [4596]
37. liz burrow [4651]
38. Iguana [4814]
39. Nick Beamon [4920]
40. Isaac Newton [4999]
41. Atomizer [5206]
42. Krasi [5365]
43. Raid [5418]
44. bgse [5551]
45. BoBo [5574]
46. heldchen [5880]
47. Asen BG [6048]
48. Henning Krassen [6162]
49. Peter [7610]
50. Sam [7812]
51. Christoph [8295.5]
52. Morgan [8604]
53. piccolo [8653]
54. Mali [9374]
55. Gadget [9625]
56. Beeg [12546]

And your assumption is not completely right. edward rhoads hasn't been in division 1 so far. But the current division 1 players are in #1-#6, #8, and #9, so you're almost right. Wink

Wow, this has sparked an interesting conversation... It seems to have at least some people interested! Great work on the calculations! Did you enter those manually or do you have access to the score database?

The comment you made about the averages is true, thats how it should work, but the larger scores are more fun to look at!   Grin

It sounds like you're after unweighted best 5 scores including genius, which is listed at:
http://www.nonosweeper.com/cgi-bin/ranking.cgi?unweighted=1&genius=1

There are 8 different ways to calculate rankings, of which only 5 are linked in the best times/rankings section of the site. The others can be reached by mucking around with the parameters in the URL.

My sites links page has links to all 8, among a huge number of links to all over the MM and NS sites, but it hasn't been updated in a very long time...I've been meaning to put up lots of tournament statistics but haven't gotten around to it.
(At the bottom, centre column, of http://members.iinet.net.au/~queteq/MM/Links.htm if anyone is interested)

I use that site to quickly check my standings on all 8 ranking systems once a month or so, or whenever I set several new times, so I have a good idea of what I need to improve...(currently 13,11,12,11,12,10,10,10, for example)

@Gene: Neither did I calculate the ranking manually nor do I have access to the database. But there is already a ranking of weighted scores. I just copied that into an Excel spreadsheet, built some unweighted sum and generated my ranking list. So, within <10 minutes, the list was done.
But indeed, the ranking behind Qetuth' link isn't really anything different (not multiplied by 5, but almost the same anyway).

@Qetuth: Nice link list. I must check out all of them later.

@Qetuth: Nice links!

@Gene: Looks like Qetuth´s links will satisfy your need  (unless you are high number freak of course) Grin

@Stephan: You´re right, who cares if he is #7, #8 or #9, but this 294 points gap between Maruda and me looks scary  Grin
