The SPL Long-Term Ranking

The Swiss Soccer Prediction League Long-Term Ranking (The "Hall of Fame")

The Swiss Soccer Prediction League is now run by Ken Butler

This ranking takes into account the classifications in the five last tours:

First rounds 2006-2007
Final rounds 2006-2007
Final rounds 2007-2008
First rounds 2008-2009
Final rounds 2008-2009

Yes, the first rounds 2007-2008 are missing. If anybody has the data, please send it to me.

Let i be one of the above tours. Let NUM_i be the number of players in that tour. A player having participated to that tour and obtained rank RANK_i will be attributed PTS_i points for that round, where

PTS_i = 100/NUM_i*(NUM_i+1-RANK_i).

Non participants to that tour get zero. Tough luck.

In other words, in each round, the first gets 100 points, the second a bit less, ... and the last 100/NUM_i points.

The last tour counts full, the next to last at 80%, the previous one at 60%, etc. Therefore, only the last five tours count in this classification. The maximum amount of points is 300. Note: when available, the adjusted ranking was taken, as it includes more players.

A cumulative ranking is also provided: it gives unweighted points from all competitions held since the birth of the Swiss Soccer Prediction League

Now, let's see what we get:
