Odd WCA stats/ Stats request Thread

[Pedro]

But what if someone moved to the other Side of the world?

Oh, so the distance is only between competitions, not from where you live to the comp and back...Interesting. Then the actual distances are probably even bigger.

 

[Antonie faz fan]

That's interesting. I live in South Africa and have been to one comp here, but will be moving to the US sometime soon. Does that mean every competition I go to would count as that distance(over 7500 miles)?.

go to a few comps and you R #1

 

[TMOY]

No. Your second competition will count as 7500+ miles, then your third one will count as the distance (probably much shorter) between the venues of your second and third comps, and so on.

 

[Bindedsa]

No. Your second competition will count as 7500+ miles, then your third one will count as the distance (probably much shorter) between the venues of your second and third comps, and so on.

Ah.. I see, makes much more sense.

I'm requesting this once again, as it appears to have been ignored last time:

Could some one do the sum of all ranks by country stat again? I think Canada would score pretty high now.

 

[Carrot]

Neither is better?

Care to click my references instead of throwing out a new one?

 

[Antonie faz fan]

I'm requesting this once again, as it appears to have been ignored last time:

probably germany, USA,UK and Italy aswell

 

[antoineccantin]

Don't forget Proland!

Rereading my post, I think I may have misunderstood you. I apologise. I think I was disagreeing with you saying "one of them ranking better on the ranking", about what was on this page; I was trying to say that neither of them was better. You were obviously talking about the person ranking, not the average ranking, and I don't know why I didn't see that.
E: maybe they just only have one average per person on the page I just linked to, and the most recent comp-PB is displayed?

 

[Carrot]

As well as the harshness of losing records in later rounds, this rule of "records at the end of the day on which the last attempt of the round falls" causes multiple strange situations. I haven't seen evidence that it has helped in any situations compared to just saying that records are set at the end of each round, and in the very rare situation that records are set in different competitions, the absolute time should be used to determine who set it first. I'd like to see an example where that old rule was actually a problem, if anyone has one?

Well, at Skanderborg Open 2014 we had a really weird situation, because obviously I knew that records were not aknowledged before the end of the day and Ranzha had a Skewb competition later that day. I then got an average below the WR and everyone was going "congrats with the WR" and all that stuff while I had to tell them all "This is not WR, it was by a great chance beaten around -10 hours ago". Just like you I find it really inconvenient, it basically means that if you have 2 rounds of 3x3x3 the same day and you get sub NR avg in the first round you can't celebrate for beating the NR before not beating it in the final (if you beat it, obviously you don't need to celebrate, because you didn't beat it the first time...). You can't even announce "Daniel broke 3x3x3 NR!" after a round, instead you have to say something like "Daniel got a single below the 3x3x3 NR, we will be able to announce at 6PM after the final whether it is a new record or not"... dafuq??? I get the time-zone ********. But seriously, fairplay vs. something-that-actually-makes-sense.

Ohh ya, should probably be moved to a thread of its own.

answer to your E: If they are treated as the exact same, then they should both be shown, no matter what, because no one knows which one is better. If they decide that only one should be shown, then they have to add a tie-breaker, this tie-breaker should be applied globally, not locally for one ranking. Consistency...

(E = edit btw)
I agree, although it could also be argued that they are being consistent by only showing one average per person.
They almost certainly always show the most recent one on that page (this being the tie-breaker); I would imagine it is done automatically. I can't be certain though as I don't know of any other evidence to show/not show this.

2 things:

1. Is there a place to see 3BLD means like they were here https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/misc/missing_averages/? Specifically, I wanted to see the "number of means" part.

2. I think this may have been suggested before, but has the WCA considered adding a medal count to each person's WCA profile?

SolveThatCube got a OCR on his very first comp.

How many people got NR/CR/WRs on their very first competition?

 

[Kit Clement]

2. I think this may have been suggested before, but has the WCA considered adding a medal count to each person's WCA profile?

While I think it's cool to track this unofficially, I don't like the idea of listing this on WCA profiles. Profiles are great now for highlighting and tracking personal bests, but adding medal count would put an emphasis on overall winning to all competitors. I think it's best to emphasize just beating your own times. If overall victories were promoted on profiles, I'd think you'd see many who don't ever reach that level get discouraged from cubing.

SolveThatCube got a OCR on his very first comp.

How many people got NR/CR/WRs on their very first competition?

All I can think of is Sameer getting 2x2 WR avg at his first comp. There's probably lots of people who have gotten NR's or easy CR's at their first comp.

 

[kcl]

Has anyone other than sameer broken a WR at their first comp?
