UKTerrorist UK Clan Rankings

Posted by Ripper at 19:44 11/5/2003.

If you remember back to this column a while ago you'll note that zeNi had thought up an original way of ranking clans. Gotfrag picked up on this and used their own system, and now UKT have zeNi on board and bring you the UKTerrorist UK Clan Rankings. Here's the info:
UKT's clan rankings system lists and ranks the best CS clans in the UK as accurately as we think is possible. This system isn't based on the thoughts of a few random individuals, it is based on how clans have done in actual competitions (both online and LAN), with higher weighting given to competitive LAN tournaments. This system also takes time into account - a clan who won tournament X last week gets more points than another clan who won the same tournament last year.
Here's the current top 5:
  1. Four-Kings Intel
  2. Online Multiplayer Gaming
  3. ClanONE
  4. Last Chance
  5. Barcodes
Click on the option on the left menu bar or click here to view the rankings, which will constantly be updated as and when new competitions finish. Let us know if you spot any bugs, have any suggestions or if you think we're missing any tournaments.

Presumably there's a cut-off period for tournaments being too long ago for consideration, So that clans aren't living on past glories. How long? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I think its taken the fairest way of doing it and done it, and its real good work zeni has done.

I just cant wait for the folk to poke fun at some of the teams/rankings.

Let it begin! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Ye good work from zeNi and others involved. And I don't think ONE are better than omg! anymore

ONE: Righteous, Strike, BL, Keiju, AcolyTe, Kid
omg!: Bom, Craig, Sarge, m0rph, vip, DArtagnan

Both are incredibly good lineups but I think that omg! has the edge, if not skill-wise, then experience-wise. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

dunno if we will see at next lan, cos BL wont be able to play for ONE if rules are stuck to, so may have to be UKT #4 or WCG.
Seems like a decent ranking system, but maybe with more and more events a yr cutoff would be better that 2yrs, otherwise rankings may get like gotfrags which at times are way off the mark. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

the system is very good, and like every other ranking system in the world it is never going to be 100% accurate. But it does give a good indication to where teams are in the UK.

So let's just take the time to appreciate the hard work and effort that's been put into this, and realise it's never going to be perfect. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The rankings are designed to give a good general view of the current standings. You could say argue that a clan like say Barcodes/Xtra should be higher up after their recent performance @ Bath but you could also argue that they just had a fluke etc, so the rankings have to be based on a certain amount of previous events to get some stability.

i wud hardly think anyone wud refuse him to play for ONE as he was doing obsessive a favour and if he didnt help them they wouldnt have even had a team for ukt so in turn he did everyone at bath a favour :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

ONE's starting 5 right now are Righteous, Strikes, Keiju, Kid and Acolyte. BL plays when he can but his working hours limits this somewhat. Regardless, barring something unforseen happening ONE will end their absense at recent LAN's at the next UKT event. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

shuffler you seem to be missing the point, if the australian football team beat a weakened brazil team then they wouldnt immediately leap-frog ahead of brazil would they? Likewise if xtra beat omg! once doesnt mean they are immediately better than them? And didnt omg! play xtra in the loser bracket final and beat them 13-5? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

agreed if we get confirmation then said folded clans will be removed, and if xtra.uk put in a strong performance at the next UKT or in a major online league then they will climb high quickly but as of now xtra have only attended UKT and can only be ranked from it [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
