X Scoring System

The X Scoring System is a ranking system for Super Smash Flash 2, which is largely based on the results from the tournament series Smash Island, X, and Hypest. However, unlike the Flash Collective Rankings, the X Scoring System allows almost any tournament to be included.

X Scoring System v2.1
The current version of the X Scoring System being used. Version 2.1 ranks players based on set counts between other players with relation to how often they play. A mathematical formula can be expressed in the form $$\frac{W-L}{S}, L<W$$

$$\frac{(W-L)+1}{S}, W<L$$

where W is the number of wins, L is the number of losses, and S is the number of tournament sets played. This removes the issue of larger tournaments granting more points, albeit version 2.1 isn't used often because all scores would be between 2 and -1 (with some exceptions for best of 5 sets).

X Scoring System v3.x
The latest revision of the X Scoring System is version 3.0. Version 3.0 ranks players on an individual level and is basically a giant matchup chart, however a general rank called the GPA (General Player Average) is used for seeding players in tournaments based on the average of the number of wins against all other ranked players who have fought the player. An update for this, with the version number 3.1 is being constructed with more GPAs. Version 3.0 will not roll out as standard until the 2016 scoring season.

X Scoring System v2.0
Version 2.1 ranks players based on set counts between other players with relation to how often they play. A mathematical formula can be expressed in the form

$$\frac{W-L}{T}, L<W$$

$$\frac{(W-L)+1}{T}, W<L$$

where W is the number of wins, L is the number of losses, and T is the number of tournaments played. This introduced the issue of larger tournaments granting more points.

X Scoring System v1.x
X wouldn't have been what it was without the original concepts. Version 1.0 was unreleased to production, and version 1.1 was made version 1.0 when the X Tournament Series launched in December 2014. It solely added the set counts together, which heavily favored players who regularly attend tournaments, as well as players who are good.
