Team Draft Ranking Method - Ranking from the Previous League

Updated over 4 months ago

When utilizing the Team Draft and selecting the option "Ranking from a previous league," the rankings will be computed using the golfers’ scores from a selected Event/League (chosen in the Draft setup).

Ranking with Past Results Computation:

To compute the rankings, we have to extract the following values from the selected Event/League:

  • Times Played: Number of rounds played in the selected Event/League

  • Gross Average: Average gross score in the selected Event/League

  • Net Average: Average net score in the selected Event/League

These values are computed for the selected Event/League and are displayed on the Player Event/League Standings portal page within the select Event/League (as shown below).

These values are used to calculate each golfer’s Gross Rank and Net Rank.

Gross/Net Rank Computation:

Gross Rank Computation:

The Gross Rank will be computed for each player and will represent their rank based on the gross scores from the selected Event/League.

Because golfers played different numbers of rounds in the past, we can not use their average gross score from the past Event/League. We will assign each golfer a Gross Scale value based on their average gross and the number of rounds played to get a normalized value from the average gross.

The formula to compute the Gross Scale for one golfer is:

(Avg. Gross - Overall Avg. Gross) - (Maximum Rounds Played - Rounds Played) * Score Adj

Where:

  • Avg. Gross: Golfer’s average gross in the selected Event/League

  • Overall Avg. Gross: Average gross score of all players in the selected Event/League

  • Maximum Rounds Played: Maximum rounds played by any player from the draft in the selected Event/League

  • Rounds Played: Number of rounds played by the golfer in the selected Event/League

  • Score Adj: Average score adjustment for each round missed set in the Draft Setup

Net Rank Computation:

The Net Rank is computed using the same algorithm as the Gross Rank, but the net average score from the selected Event/League is used to compute the Net Scale.

Final Ranking Compulation:

Another variable used for the final rankings is the number of gross picks, which is computed using the following formula:

# of Gross Picks = (Gross Scores Counted + 1) * Number of Teams

Where:

  • Gross Scores Counted is set in the Draft setup.

  • Number of Teams is the number of teams participating in the Draft.

The final rankings will be determined using the following:

  1. Create two lists of golfers:

    1. All Golfers sorted by gross scale.

    2. All Golfers sorted by net scale.

  2. Select the best "X" number of golfers from the list sorted by Gross Scale, where:

    1. X = # of Gross Picks

    2. # of Gross Picks = (Gross Scores Counted + 1) * Number of Teams

  3. Remove golfers from the Net Scale List selected as the best "X" golfers from the Gross Scale List.

  4. Compile the final list in the following order:

    1. Best "X" golfers ordered by their gross scale

    2. The rest of the golfers ordered by their net scale
