OK, gimme some feedback on this version:

http://fzerocentral.com/universal.php

It's basically the idea that DVM had, only using a simpler "rank / total" system.

This one looks easy to read and use, so I'd say it's great!

Ah. Now I get it.
If more people in the competition join, and are worse off than you are, your ranking goes up, but if someone joins that is higher, your ranking goes down, but if yours goes up, and your not first, yours and whoever else is higher than the new player gets a higher rank.

The way it looks, it is okay, but I will be hellbent on getting higher.

This looks great, might I make a suggestion.

Right now the chart is going into detial about all of the games. Maybe the chart should start something like this:

----------------------------Games
-Player Name-----------------3/4
-Player Name-----------------3/4
-Player Name-----------------3/4
-Player Name-----------------3/4

I put Games in bold since that would be a link. You could click on that to go into the more detailed version that you have shown us.

How does that sound?

What would be the advantage of adding the first, less-detailed page?

Since the Rectangles are much wider in the more detailed version the less detailed version could make it so you wouldn't have to make the wide for all the data, unless you were planning on making the detialed data thin like the others.

The Wide version looks Fine too as well. Once there gets to be more players it might take a little longer to load up. But that's not really much a problem.

The columns are just wide in the test version. It'll automatically squeeze down to the size of the frame when I link to it from the main page.

Nope, sorry. As I stated earlier in this thread, I feel that 3 out of 4 is a reasonable minimum for Universal. 2 out of 4 would be better described as "Hemispheric."

Okay, what about a universal ranking where I am ranked last in X, SNES, and GX? I mean, it is possible that I do own all 4 games and I'm just too 'challenged' to operate 3 of them. Can you really hold it against me that I can't read the directions on the boxes?

Now, as I have FZX and FZMV, and I'm going to get FZGX at the time of the PAL release, will I suffer in the Universal rankings for not owning FZSNES? If I do, I can understand it. You want to give the advantage to players with all 4 games.

But what about this:
3 games out of 4 is the minimum for being ranked in Universal. So why couldn't we just take the 3 best games for everyone?

I'll try to explain:
Lets say someone's ranked 20th/200 in X, 30th/200 in MV, 40th/200 in SNES and 50th/200 in GX. For this person you'd give him/her points for his/her 3 best games, ie. you leave the game with the worst points out. So, in this case, the GX rank wouldn't count.

With this system players with "only" 3 versions wouldn't be punished, but players with all 4 games would still have the advantage they deserve.

If you didn't understand this, I'm sorry. Comments, please.

Even if some of my times may seem impossibly bad, I assure you that I am NOT cheating.

I wouldn't like that because then I would probably still be ranked last in Universal I need the advantage for owning all four games.

Well, you would have an advantage, as you, unlike players with only 3 games, would have a choice: You have 4 games, but your rank only depends on your 3 best games.
