US State Rankings

[Bryan]

It's still in beta form. But, in order to be ranked, you must have a CubingUSA account, put in your WCA ID, and mark that you want to be shown on the map (otherwise putting you in the rankings may inadvertently reveal your location).

If you have comments, feel free to post them. Again, this is in beta form. The results are based off of the wcadump that we can grab once a month, so last weekend's competitions won't be there.

Some things on my todo:
- Not make it so ugly
- Handle Multiblind properly
- Have regions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regions_of_the_United_States#Census_Bureau-designated_areas)
- Show top 3 from each state/region

It would be neat if you could just select a state and it showed the top 1 or top 3 for every event in that state.

Just signed up I like the idea! I also like that you send us alert e-mails whenever a competition happens within a certain radius from us, very cool!

I love how one of those regions is Region II: New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands

Actually, that wouldn't be the regions I would use. It would be the Census Bureau above. (Northeast, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, East North Central, West North Central, South.....)

Of course, it's not like I can't make up new regions. Red state/blue state champions?

States that start with "M" or "A" champion. "New _____" Champion. SoCal vs NorCal.

Bryan this is really cool. Nice job.

:cough: Ranked #1 in Alabama :cough:

Oh yeah.

 

[Anthony]

Very cool, I like it a lot.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Woohoo - I'm first in Indiana at everything except 2x2x2 single, 2x2x2 average, and 3x3x3 single. (Let's not talk about the fact that I'm also the only one in Indiana so far on most of those events. )

#1 in magic in CA
cool

 

[Weston]

I'm confused. Where are you finding your state rankings?

EDIT: oh woowwww
fail
never mind

 

[blade740]

I'd be fine with just east coast vs west coast. \X/, WEST COAST

What does Texas qualify as?

 

[Lucas Garron]

Whee!
I have CA 2, 3, 4, 5, BLD, clock.

If you want pretty HCI, I'd appreciate something nice like live results.

What's a Texas?


Bryan: Cool system. Is there any automated way to find out where cubers live, other than asking them to make accounts?

Hi Bryan,

Nice site!
Are you already looking into providing similar functionality as WCA website?
For example Regional records page (States instead of Countries).
I could provide you with the source code of the pages we use.

About the states information: maybe you can make a difference between city and state.
People may want to publish their state, but not their city. In that case they can still be on the state ranking.

Just a reminder for the final version: please make sure you are compliant with the rules I added on the main page of the monthly dump.

Thanks for your contributions to our community.

Have fun,

Ron

Well, I gather their zip code when I have competitions, but that's more for figuring out where to hold future competitions. By making them make an account, they're giving explicit permission to publish that information.

Regional record history might be useful when we have more subscribers. I could make a complete mirror of the WCA database if we wanted redundancy.

About the states information: maybe you can make a difference between city and state.
People may want to publish their state, but not their city. In that case they can still be on the state ranking.

The solution for this has always been to just pick a random city in your state.

Yup, I plan on updating just once a month. I was going to ask if you didn't mind if I did something that did a single "Get All Results" for a competition and then updated the PR's in the database. This would only be done for American competitions and only done once. But I won't do this unless I get your OK.

Oh, and since CubingUSA has providences as states, you Canadians can get your providential rankings.

Not sure what you're trying to point out. The fact that you thought "Texas record" meant the fastest solve done in Texas (which I don't determine), or later when I posted and say I'm basically going to be doing this once I can grab the data (and get a little time).
