Tarrington is on my Bucket list - I love the idea of a Scramble event. Way back last decade we did one in Canberra Quid Pro Quon - used my original element rating system (I updated it for DBA3) so that for rounds 1-4 the highest ranked player used the lowest rated army that they hadn't already used and so on (so the lowest rated player got the Mega powered armies). Then in round 5 players had to dig themselves out of whatever hole they were in with the army they brought along (Mr Thracian crashed and burned at that point). I even kept score of how each army performed and gave the owner of the highest scoring army a prize for designing the most idiot proof list. Cheers More generally here in Oz we also have a score handicapping process using my Element Rating table.
Each army is rated according to this table and the handicap score is derived as
Raw Score * (Opponent's Rating/Player's Rating)
There is a prize for the highest adjusted score (outside of the top 3 raw scores that get the podium silverware) and a further prize at the end of the year for the average of the best three scaled handicap scores (and for this prize being a podium winner still counts)
Over the years this has encouraged a number of the better players to experiment with armies that are below par on the killer army scale. We have had a wide variety of interesting armies
The full explanation and the rating scores are available in the "Magister Militum Per Capitoline Territorialis"
cheers
Very interesting! Is there a link to this? Is it on the wiki or yahoo? |

Very interesting! Is there a link to this? Is it on the wiki or yahoo? Hi Greedo,
the rating values for each element and the mechanisms for the trophy are in the Magister Militum Per Capitoline Territorialis thread in the Tournaments section of this board.
My previous rating system was held in the old Fanaticus Resources page - but the calculations for that one were much simpler.
The table I used to work out the odds of each element destroying and being destroyed by each other element type which was the basis for the rating is too large to put into a document format. After that the normalising of those odds turns more and more into bistromathematics.
You should be able to get the basis from the thread named above.
Cheers
