There are steps involved in this process. Implementing a system right away where Keith Elwin is ranked 1463rd doesn’t make sense to me at this point.
The hope is that we’re able to drive people during 2018 to register for MatchPlay and start playing. We’re also trying to encourage IFPA sanctioned TD’s to submit their finals results through MatchPlay (or one of the other formats where @haugstrup can pull in that data.
During this time @Shep and @haugstrup can talk to eachother about how to pull that data over to the IFPA player accounts. From there we can list the MP Rating as one of the “official metrics”, include it in the profile page for each player, etc.
After that point we can begin discussing if/how MP Ratings can be integrated into the TVA process of the event calculation. Because this would change “every result for all of time” (formula change), we only have the chance to do this at the beginning of the year.
