How were the rankings calculated?


HOW WERE THE WORLD RANKINGS MADE?

For every time, which has been sent to REX´s Mario Kart 64 page you can get points. Points are given away for every Course for Fastest Course and Fastest Lap times. They were distributed in the following manner:
 
 
TOP 25 
courses without shortcuts  
and all courses in the overall ranKINGS (FrEAk)  (

1st place = 30 points 
2nd place = 27 points 
3rd place = 25 points 
4th place = 23 points 
5th place = 21 points 
6th place = 20 points 
7th place = 19 points 
8th place = 18 points 
... 
25th place = 1 point

TOP 15  
for courses with shortcuts in the system rankings 

1st place = 20 points  
2nd place = 17 points  
3rd place = 15 points  
4th place = 13 points  
5th place = 11 points  
6th place = 10 points  
7th place = 9 points  
8th place = 8 points  
... 
15th place = 1 point

 

If some players have the same time they all get the same points!!
 
 
HOW WERE THE 'FREAK' RANKINGS MADE?

All PAL times get converted into NTSC times by getting devided by 1.2 and will be used as regular time. Absolutely every player who has ever sent in a time gets points!! You can find overall rankings for normal courses and shortcut courses.

Points get distributed in the following manner:
 
 
1st place = 1000 points 
2nd place = 997 points 
3rd place = 995 points 
4th place = 994 points 
5th place = 993 points 
6th place = 992 points 
7th place = 991 points 
8th place = 990 points 
... 
 
this means for every place sub 3rd  

 X th place = (998 - X ) points 

If you have no time for a course you get 1 point less then the slowest player gets who has send in a time.

 
HOW OFTEN WILL THE RANKINGS GET UPDATED?

The rankings will be updated as often as I have time to renew them, but if new times were sent at least once a week!
