Hi,
I decided to setup an external web page listing the unofficial \"Blockout II World Rankings\", to overcome the long-known problem of score pollution in the online score database.
Here\'s the link:

http://blockout-ranking.hostoi.com/

It\'s very simple - take a look!

Cool, thanks!

Could you also create a second list with only the highest score for each player, instead of the 5er average?

Cheers, Michael

Actually my idea was to show the current status of regular players. The all-time high score information is always available here.
Ideally I\'d like to average the 10 best scores in last 12 months, but there are not too many players that qualify for that (and some technical restrictions).

Because the ranking system averages the five best scores in last two years and seems that your scores are a little older than that.
The idea is to show the status of current players.
You could try to upload newer scores.

Good luck!

#4 is not bad at all...

And I take the chance to announce that the ranking turned \"official\"!

nice work there:s_bravo:

now the rating works for all setups, not just classical ones

it would be better if we could ask for players real names & locations and have them also shown in the ranking

Hello amit

that is a nice surprise :blush:
I didn\'t start playing for a place in \'ranking\'...
wanted to know how and why one can influence apearence
of *flush* in 3x3... couldn\'t do that in old BL.
for the math-purists this might be gambling. I love it :)
I\'d not like my complete adress shown in the rankings.
if rankings are cheat-free, real name is ok.
if *pause* is not, I hope speed isn\'t either.

greetings from Wuppertal,

Boris Franckowiak

and why not a filter for
\"best of the week\"
\"best of the month\"
\"best of the year\"

\"best of the week\" could be
the last 7 days or since last monday

Hi fredjust,

I\'d say, this is a great idea.
some lists are very crowded...
hard to get an overview.

greetings, Boris
