PARADE SQUARE EXPLANATION

The below explanation goes in depth into the technical aspects of how the scoring is handled for the Parade Square.  It is derived from a scoring system for Chess used in Switzerland.  On a simpler level it is based on the type of win and experience of the opponents.  Because of this you can conceivably climb very high on the ladder with nothing but losses as long as you challenge players with significantly more points than you.  Conversely if you have a lot of points you must win decisively over less experienced opponents to maintain your position.  Hope this helps.

This is how your War Record is calculated.

From the Example above

(NOTE Columns A to J appear on the PARADE SQUARE)

Player One has 1921 current points before calculation is started

Player Two has 1172 current points before calculation is started


Player One receives a TV

THUS

J=IF(Q2=3,(V2+K2),IF(Q2=2,(V2+K2),IF(Q2=0,V2+K2,IF(Q2=1,K2+U2,"error"))))+Q2

K= Current Player One Grading (MANUAL INPUT)

L= Current Player Two Grading (MANUAL INPUT)

M=

N=

O=1 (One point for the TV - MANUAL INPUT)

P=

Q=SUM(M2:P2)

R=L2-K2

S=ROUND(R2/25,0)

T==IF(Q2=3,(30+S2),IF(Q2=-1,-20+S2,IF(Q2=0,S2,IF(Q2=2,20+S2,IF(Q2=1,(S2+20)/2,0)))))

U=IF(AND(Q2=0,T2<-10),-10,IF(AND(Q2=0,T2>10),10,T2))

V=IF(AND(Q2=-1,T2>-20),-20,IF(AND(Q2=3,T2<20),20,IF(AND(Q2=2,T2<10),10,IF(AND(Q2=1,T2<5),5,T2))))

 THUS J=1917


ADDITION SCENARIOS FOR THE ABOVE EXAMPLE 

Based on Player ONE having a GRADE of 1921 starting POINTS

Based on Player TWO having a GRADE of 1172 starting POINTS


RESULTS POSSIBLE FOR PLAYER ONE

If Player ONE received a BV the calculation result is 1944 (+23  points)

If Player ONE received a V the calculation result is 1933 (+12 points)

If Player ONE received a TV the calculation result is 1917 (-4 points)

If Player ONE received a L the calculation result is 1891 (-30 points)

RESULTS POSSIBLE FOR PLAYER TWO 

If Player TWO received a BV the calculation result is 1235 (+63 points)

If Player TWO received a V the calculation result is 1224 (+52 points)

If Player TWO received a TV the calculation result is 1198 (+26 points)

If Player TWO received a L the calculation result is 1202 (+30 points)


Players closer to equal "Grades" would result in numbers closer to this

BV=30, V=20, TV=10, L=0
