About the Rankings
« Thread started on: Jul 26th, 2003, 11:15am »

Hi,
why isn't the car and/or the setting of your best time integrated into the Rankings too? Like the japanese AX-Ranking or FZMV. I think that would be a nice innovation .
What do you think?

It would be nice, but ...

- With 73 "boards" (different times/speeds to report) on F-Zero X (compared to 42 for GBA), the process of joining would become even more of a chore than it is now. I don't want to discourage potential members by asking them for too much information.

- There's only so much room on a web page. The system conversions were widely requested, so I added them. This doesn't leave room for other data. I would have to make three separate ranking pages for each track in F-Zero X ... and I'm trying to figure out a good way to get from the current two per track down to ONE.

- At the time the vehicle and mode categories were incorporated into the GBA competition, it was the ONLY competition I ran. With the site SO much larger now, I'd be more likely to remove that "extra" GBA data than to add it to the other versions. Timekeeping for GBA is more lengthy to perform than for the others because of this data. (There are NO plans to remove vehicle or mode from the GBA tables ... just making a point here.)

I realize I was talking about the older games above, and this is a suggestion for GX. There will be 60 boards for GX, and presumably it will become an even bigger competition than GBA. While I would love to include as much info as possible, I think that this message board will be the place to learn about which vehicle, setting, and mode to use. The rankings will have to be kept to the "basics" ... times/speeds and player info.
