Maybe?

I have to get the <rank> values manually from each team.xml file.
If it was automated then you could easily do it for all countries.

Very nice!!

Even nicer ... impressive amount of detail there.

What tools does he use? I'd love to gather my data in a less time consuming way.

Ask Terrion, I think he'll answer you happily :)

I can see the rash of new tools coming out there to pour thru all teams in each division for their rank. Ugh, will bring this to its knees :)

Yes, the rank is the same ranking system that is used for NT. The formula to calculate your rank variation was posted in this same thread at the beginning.

Up to now, it is clear rank variation has no relation with the humour of your club fans, because yesterday the humour changed before the rank was updated.

It is unclear yet if it has some relation with the money the sponsors give.

I don't know how the NT ranking system is, so that doesn't say anything to me.
I searched the first 5 pages of this thread and there is no formula.

Sorry, it was another thread.

The ranking is not based in cups or championship winning but just in the matches (a team with greater ranking plays against a team with less ranking and wins: he'll gain very few points in the ranking. If the other team wins, that team will win a lot of points, etc)

This is the formula:

This is a quite accurate aproximation:

y = mx + n
y -> number of points that a team will win (os lose if it's negative)
x -> difference of ranking
m -> a constant: -0.02876
n -> depends on the match result, for example:

1-0 -> n=29.29
2-1 -> n=24.16
3-2 -> n=19.54
4-3 -> n=16.79
5-4 -> n=14.93
2-0 -> n=37.59
3-1 -> n=36.09
4-2 -> n=32.02
3-0 -> n=42.14
4-1 -> n=42.14
6-3 -> n=36.93
5-0 -> n=46.61
8-0 -> n=48.95

Then you can even lose points if you win.

yes you can

Hi

I would like to start discussion about format of keeping files with sk data.

What do You (developers SO, SM, Ap) think about this.

This will be better for us and users, when migrating between software will be simple.

My suggest is :
1. keep all data in utf-8
2. some standard of files name
a. name_of_xml_file_WEEK_DAY.xml
b. name_of_xml_file_millis.xml
c. name_of_xml_file_year_month_day_hour_minutes.xml

any other suggestions ?
(gewijzigd)

SO keep's data exactly as it was downloaded (currently UTF-8).

For filenames, I chose year-month-day_hour-minutes_nameofxmlfile.xml in order to have them sorted chronologically by the Operating System.

Did You think about WEEK_DAY keeping ?

Currently in XML we could find such data.

I prefer keep data in mySQL database. It gives more freedom to manipulate with all data.
