I don't know what the index is. You can have more tracks played than someone and a higher average + overall score, but they can still have a higher index.
I don't get it. I think some race types are more valuable to index than others are...

Cheers lads. At the moment for Zone I'm ranked 59th by Index and 99th by average, you can imagine which one I prefer!
It's largely my Anulpha Pass score that drags my average down. I honestly don't get how people have such high scores on that track. It's not like I haven't practiced it or anything, I've done over 2,000 laps on the bugger, just can't seem to get above zone 60-ish. :brickwall
I think that the index is based on how many records you have, and what your positions were during those records. It stops people who've only 2 records being at the top due to a ridiculously high average.Quote:

I don't know why that would be the case.
@amplificated, example? I'm pretty sure this isn't the case.
I only noticed it because I have 28 listings per page (1 extra being me when I'm outside the top 28), since that's what fits my screen...
In overall rank, I'm #39 with 223 records, 142707 overall score and an average of 640. My Index is 560.
#28 (OBH) has 197 records, an overall score of 121863, an average of 619, and an index of 602.
I think my index is a little low given my stats compared to OBH's
Connavar changed the formula some time ago. I think the change gave a higher weighting to Phantom class, or at least it was something such that a lot of the players who are considered to be some of the best, are not missing from near the top of the overall board because they don't have a lot of venom records, for example. I guess it's a matter of opinion whether that is right or not. I think it's always best to consider things more specifically anyway. I race Phantom class so I only really compare my results across Phantom.
Someone added my times, awesome :g
Many thanks to whoever did it.
The site is a really good effort, keep things going.
Double post but I have questions that may have been answered... but a thorough browsing of the thread might not be possible.
I read that game modes did not weight the same in your formula, which is fine by me (I think the Single/MP Race times are indeed... how should I say it... merely secondary?).
I was wondering however if each race venue had the same value?
Obviously, Anulpha seems to "weight" a lot more. My matrix show that those are my best score even though I rank fairly low.
Is it somehow linked to how dense the leaderboard is? Anulpha seems to be a popular track (Venom SL because of Beat Zico, etc...), so even though in the absolute i'm low on the boards my times are relatively deemed OK.
I'm asking because I have some assumptions that you may confirm about how populated are the leaderboards:
- Most crowded leaderboards: those for events featured in the campaign mode or that are attached to trophies.
- Forward tracks more popular than reverse tracks
- HD tracks more popular than Fury tracks
Thanks in advance.
The index for each track is based on your time vs the top time. Especially on Venom, Anulpha Pass has a very, very fast top record compared to the times that most people have. Zico's record is an absolute joke compared to JF and texasalex's times.
So yeah, most people are going to have a very low score for that track.
