This first post is no longer important. Please see the latest posts (this is more of an announcement thread for CS)

I have made the decision that on CubingStats, any times containing an X will be removed. I thought about it, and realised that there are very few reasons why a person could have this. I already changed the system refuse any times that contain an X.

On July 15 (a little over 2 weeks from now), I will delete all times with an unsure digit. I am posting this to give an advanced warning to anybody that has this. I hacked some code together to get this, which shows everybody with an X in their time for all events.

I am doing this to allow myself to do greater things with CubingStats, and hopefully the community will use what I am planning on doing. Thanks!


For those of you wondering, an X is put into a time when the digit is unsure. For example: 9.xx is a time in the 9 second range.

PS: If you can, please repost this on other forums to try and get the message to everybody.

Alternatively you could replace all unknowns with a 9. So 9.xy would become 9.99.
You could have a marked to show that the specific time is unknown. For example 9.99* or 9.99

1) Yes, I could. I doubt you recall, but when CS was first released that is how it was. I actually got people saying it should show the XX because of the "multiple occurrences" section
2) Good idea. This I might consider, but I would have to figure out how to make this work with what I am planning (or decide on a resolution in itself).

Either way, the times will not remain 9.xx. It will change :)
 
Maybe you could not change each x to a 9 but assume it to be. so someone with 19.xx would tie with 19.99 but it would still display 19.xx.

I agree with this, it's a good idea. If someone has a low 12 average, listed as 12.xy, it should be listed as 12.xy not 12.99. However due to the unknown, it should be RANKED as if it's 12.99, but should show 12.xy

Also an unrelated issue I have, when I go to open someone's WCA profile in a new tab by pressing middle mouse button, it opens in current tab. This seems to be the way for a lot/if not all of the links on your site. A fix to this would be nice.

That is how they are ranked, although a little differently. A 3 decimal time (9.999) beats a 2 decimal time (9.99). A time missing one digit is ranked ahead of missing two, both of which are ranked behind 2 digits.

Probably all or close to all. I was planning on changing the way links work anyway, since it doesn't work very well with the back button.

For the purposes I am using it for, I've made the decision that the 9.xy will stay, but be displayed as 9.99* if it is missing one digit and 9.99** for 2. For the calculations, it will be treated as a 9.99. I did some testing with this earlier, so it should work. I'll have the site down for a little bit (maybe half an hour) during the transition period so I can alter the files and database.

@Tim, I wouldn't consider it unrelated. This thread could really be anything related to CS/RPG
 
I just launched many of the updates for CubingStats (some of them were already launched).

Some updates include:
  • No more fading on page changes - this allows you to use the back button as well as open in new tabs
  • New tabs - the download database link and all IDs now open in new tabs
  • Auto-lookup Country and ID - if your name is on any list, it will automatically look it up from the database
  • Click on a name - this will put the data into the form to minimize checking back and forth to update a time
  • Red digits - If a digit is unknown, it is a red 9.
  • The system now throws an error for all times with less than 2 decimals
  • By country is back!
  • Avg time by country is now given as well
  • Multiple occurrences ignores times with unknown digits

There were some other things that I did on my end.


One goal I have is to be able to look up name and country just by being given an ID (from WCA website). Ultimately, I want CubingStats to have a side page where all PBs are listed (for everyone!). Each person just might even have their own page.

Any comments on the updates, or what you would like to see?
 
I have just updated the submit form such that all is required is an ID and a time now. Upon submission, the name and country will automatically be looked up. If the name is not on any list currently, it is looked up from the WCA website.

In the near future, I will begin working on the individual PB lists, as well as the individualised pages.

Any comments (positive or negative) are much appreciated. It doesn't have to be just on the updates, it can be on anything relating to the site.
 
as someone who hasn't really seen this website before, what is it listing? I definitely haven't added myself anywhere in there, and yet I find some of my stats (which I have no idea what they are)
 
CubingStats.netau.net is where it is located. The link is also in my signature. It is the list of the people with sub-x averages in many events, which used to be held on the forums until I made that site (which does so much better than by hand).

Where does my 4.77 in pyraminx come from? I can't find anything 4.77 on my WCA page, and It's definitely not PB ao5/12/100 (unless its old info)

It is all avg12, so I take nothing from the WCA page (except name + country). The 4.77 is probably what somebody submitted after seeing it. More likely, I saw it somewhere and added it, not bothering to check if it was up to date.

Can't post because I don't have a wca ID

If that is the case, I need some sort of verification that you are as fast as you claim (I typically check with the WCA website to ensure the times are plausible). Just send me a PM with the circumstances, and I'll consider it.
 
I just released the personalised PB page. This allows anyone to keep track of their PBs in many events (more of which probably to come). It is located here. Right now, there is only the test person to show what it will look like completed.

If you would like a page like this to keep track of PBs (instead of elsewhere), PM me your birthday, name, and WCA ID (if you have one). This will allow me to create a profile for you, with the birthday being so that nobody else can edit your PBs for fun.

Hopefully this will be much used. Enjoy!

Love this, I'll use it!

Would there be a way of linking stuff to each time (like in my PB post)? If so, I might use it, because it's nice to know when I got my PBs.
