Hello everyone,

At the moment the bhop servers it's ranking system is based on people completing maps. You get points for each time you reach the finish line. And the more points you get, the higher your server rank will be. Currently you only need 20k points to reach "The One" (Highest status you can get) status. In the top ten list alone, every single player has over 60.000 points. Also this system doesn't reward you for being good or getting better. It just gives you points each time you reach the finish line.

So my suggestion is to implement a new system that will more likely display a players his skill instead of his farming skills.
The system would like this:
On each map you can only earn a certain amount of points. And the higher the tier (difficulty) of the map, the more points you can possibly get.
Let's say I would be able to score 100 points if I have the #1 spot on a map. the number two spot would give me only 80 points. If someone beats my top time. I would lose 20 points because I only deserve the 80 from the second spot.

A point table of a map could look like this:
Rank 1: 1000 Points
Rank 2: 850 Points
Rank 3: 750 Points
Rank 10: 500 Points
Rank 25: 300 Points
Rank 50: 200 Points
Rank 100: 175 Points
Rank 250: 150 Points
Rank 500: 125 Points
Rank 1000: 100 Points
To further explain the system. The first three ranks are quite obvious on how many points you can get. But if you are somewhere between rank 50 and 100. How much points would a certain person earn? Between rank 50 and 100 you can get an extra 25 points (200-175). So for each 2 spots you would climb on the ranking, you would earn 1 point. Between Rank 500 and 1000 you can also only get 25 extra points. So you would be able to earn 1 point for each 20 spots you would climb on the ranking list.

In conclusion:
This system works and is a lot better than the current one. A player gets rewarded for their skill like this, and not for completing a map over and over and not even improving. Also there will always be only 1 player who is the best by actually being the best. And the Player rank distribution will be much more balanced.

Hopefully this system will get implemented. I would love to hear some opinions on this!

Nice idea but we cant do it so easy. If we want that we have to rewrite the ranking plugin, that will take alot of hours.
