ScorecardMMA

To create All Time Rankings we calculate a historical score for each fighter (active and retired).

That score is called AllTimeTotal (ATT) and represents overall career achievement.

Following formula is used:

AllTimeTotal = CareerScore_End + CareerScore_Max + Dominance

+ Quarterly_Historical_Ranking_Count + BestRankings + MaxScore + ChampPoints

How are those different components changing in time?

1. PointsBestRankings and MaxScore are the highest achievements, and once you reach them you don’t lose them.
2. CareerScore_Max also stays the same after maximum is reached, but if you start losing fights, your CareerScore_End is slipping.
3. Every quarter end (3 month period) fighters that are among best fighters get additional Dominance and Quarterly_Historical_Ranking_Count points. If somebody retires at the top, he will keep receiving additional points for few more quarters.

Career Score is the same score that is used as part of Current Score calculation.

This score changes slowly (up or down) and is recorded for every quarter.

We use that score here twice as:

CareerScore_End – Career Score at the end of the career (or the last Career Score)

CareerScore_Max – Maximum achieved Career Score

Dominance

This historical score shows where dominant fighters were related to those ranked beneath.

It is not the same when you are just a few points ahead and when you have hundred points more than people ranked below.

Quarterly_Historical_Ranking_Count

This score is based on the number of times (from quarterly historical rankings) fighter was

• ranked in Pound for Pound rankings as: top1P4P, top5P4P, top8P4P, top20P4P

• ranked in Weight Category rankings as: top1Ctg, top3Ctg, top5Ctg, top10Ctg

• having Current Score more than: 800 points, 700 points, 600 points, 400 points

BestRankings

Score for the best rankings (combined P4P and Category rankings) achieved in the career.

If someone was at some point ranked #1 in Category, he gets 28 points.

For #1 P4P ranking you get 32 points and in addition to that you have 28 points for #1 Ctg – for maximum total of 60 points.

For #1 Ctg and #3 P4P you get total of 52 points (32 Ctg + 20 P4P).

For #3 Ctg and #10 P4P you get total of 34 points (24 Ctg + 10 P4P).

For #11 Ctg and #66 P4P you get total of 14 points (12 Ctg + 2 P4P).

MaxScore is calculated from the maximum historical Current Score.

ChampPoints represents points from the championship fights.
