My basic idea about yahoo pool rating system

We have some breaking points at Yahoo! Pool rating system so you will become a

Purple box when you reach 1500 rating, orange box when you reach 1800 rating, red box when you reach 2100 rating. If you are an advanced player you know it is hard sometimes to find a high rating player with matches your rating so you need to walk around rooms and it may be boring.

Another thing is we saw many provious or 1200-1300 rating players in our intermediate and advanced rooms asking (begging) only for game. Most players will not play them cause their ratings do not match and many of them boot this low rate players from their tables just after they sit.

Ok ok here my idea If a player has a

1200-1499 rating they shouldn’t enter to beginner rooms
1500-1799 rating they shouldn’t enter to Intermediate rooms
below 2100 rating shouldn’t enter to Advanced rooms

So everyone easily find opponents with the same rating and intermediate and advanced rooms will not show full by this low rating players when you want to login. This is also good for international players which it may hard to find opponents cause different time zones.

    this is idiotic

    Leagues ever cross ur mind? Some are based in adv rooms w/ players tht are not near 2k

    Agreed with JT. This isn’t 1999. Rating doesn’t determine skill level anymore. There’s boosters to skew everything, along with people starting over on new ids. If we forced separation between ratings how would leagues work out? They wouldn’t. And you’d have all the boosters playing each other in a select few rooms with a wide range of skill levels anyway, since anyone can obtain a booster.

    rating shud not stop at 3500, should just go forever, just to see how far these idiot boosters will run their pointless programs for then ? will we see losers with ratings of 3,877,470,000,000,056 << and it’ll give us all an example of how bored and how long they run their boosters for… after all ratings has been pointless since the day a booster was created.

    Bring back to old free ladder rooms like Y!Japan still has :(( Now to play in the “Offical” ladder room you gotta have a star, cept its empty 24/7 with 70 MAX on the ladder and thats only because of the ladder tny offical once a month or w/e it is (prolly less now they gettin strict on hacked accounts in officals so they are empty lol ) The free ladder had over 10,000 on it, surly if they gave back this 1 option to free accounts it wouldnt hurt their profits since its being 100% wasted on star.

    YJapan server still has roughly 4000 on the ladder, with great system that prevents ladder boosting …well ALOT, since only 1match per 24hrs counts as a ladder match Per opponent. So to rise rungs you must play different people thru the day, not just sit there beating 1 player over and over, makin boosting ladder rungs near impossible or way too time consuming for them to bother. Id play there all the time if only i could understand them lol.

    @ JT

    It may difficult for some players in the beginning but later it may all fine.So high rate players won’t have to play with like 1300 rate players in leagues in advanced rooms or else.

    @ Boto
    Don’t worry leagues will always find a way to keep leaving

    @Bundy (Yo!)

    Welcome bro, Agree , i missed the old ladder days *sniffs*
