Revisiting Game Stats and Norms

Site Feedback

First off, thanks to the dev team for your work on transferring 25 years of data to a fresh site and starting the implementation of game stats and norms. There are just a couple things missing that have slightly hurt the new experience that I would hope to see in a future site update.

Norms:

  1. I know I am not the first to say this, but I would love to see norms in the tourney crosstables. As people as already mentioned, this would be a nice addition from the old MSA.

  2. The bug where a norm is double/triple/quadruple-counted is still in place (see below).

  3. As already reported, most old norms have not carried over to the new system yet.

Game Stats:

  1. I would love a function to check performance against certain rating level (similar to the MSA game stats section, where it would show your performance against people of each 100 points of rating). This was a great tool for statheads like me to check our progress over time, including things such as our highest rated wins/draws.

I am not sure how much of this is already in the works/in discussion, but I wanted to provide some feedback from a longtime player and frequent site user. Thanks again!

When I saw 25 years in the message I was a little disappointed until I saw that all 34 years (to late 1991) were copied over from MSA. Yay!!!

From a TD standpoint a couple of things that are missing in a TD records are (1) showing that you were listed as an assistant at a tournament (you have to go into the tournament itself and bring up the TDs that worked it, but it does not yet show in your record) and (2) showing that you submitted the rating report (kind of critical since moving to Senior TD or higher requires having submitted rating reports on line and one thing done to help newer TDs is to walk them through submitting their events and letting them do the remainder - does not require the TD to have been on site and I’ve done a number where I had no on-site duties or credit).
