I think there is a better way to rank the members of this league. Currently we are ranked in the table based on the total number of trophies earned. If you look at the current table, this method gives us this result:
rasone77 and jedson328 are tied with 25 trophies each, yet rasone77 is at a gamer level of 2, while jedson328 is at a gamer level of 3.
The reason for this is that each type of trophy has a different value. This is how your gamer level is calculated, and this is how your trophy progress in a game is measured. These trophy values are the same across each game.
After doing some calculations, each trophy type appears to be worth the following values:
Bronze = 1
Silver = 2
Gold = 6
Platinum = 12
Therefore, if you had 43 bronzes, 10 silver, 3 gold, and 1 platinum…you’d have 43+20+18+12= 93 points.
As I mentioned above, this points system is used by PSN to determine your gamer level. From what I’ve seen so far it looks like this:
Level 1: 0 – 14 points
Level 2: 15 – 39 points
Level 3: 40 – 79 points
Level 4: 80 – 159 points
Level 5: 160 - ??? points
I think we should start ranking everyone in the table based on this points system. Thoughts?
