DCI Rating?

[TeamRegime.com]

Why does it seem like Im always prefacing my posts?

Ok, lets preface- this question is about your current DCI rating..I KNOW where Im at...CPA...blah blah blah...

I wanted to know if you KNOW yor DCI rating, if so who has the highest here (registered Members).

FORTUNE TELLER- Im ready for the obligatory answers- " Who cares", " Whats DCI?", "Go Somewhere else A**hole!" " IM Casual!!"

A Simple question...no need to be rude. You may if you want of course.

Mines a follows.-

Vintage (type 1) 1636
Constructed (type 2) 1640
Composite 1597
Limited 1554

Thanks- (I think)

Last time I checked (about a month ago), my composite was 1604. At one time, my standard rating was around 1800, then Urza's Saga came along and made decks built on less-than-completely-broken cards obsolete.

Not that I really care.

The ratings system is so screwed up that I think it's irrelevant. My primary complaints with the current DCI rating system are:

1. Random reporting. "Sanctioned" events that are never turned in. This isn't the DCI's fault, but organizers shouldn't represent tournaments as fully sanctioned, and charge accordingly, if they have no intention of turning in the results. On the other hand, that sealed deck tournament where you got a totally unplayable pile never fails to be turned in.

2. Fraud. People manipulating the results and turning them in, favoring themselves or their "homeboys" that can't legitimately get a good rating. When discovered, this should be severely punished.

3. Obsolete data. I have matches included in my rating against people that haven't picked up a Magic card in years. And, I know of one guy who "retired" years ago, with a fairly high rating. He hasn't played in years, but he's still listed as one of the top players in his state, based on DCI rating. Also, how can my standard rating be affected by matches played with cards that are no longer in standard? 7th Ed. standard is vastly different from 4th Ed. standard, yet for ratings calculations, they count the same. Matches older than 2 years should be discarded, or there should be a separate "lifetime" rating that captures this data.

4. I don't know how to categorize this, but players shouldn't be allowed to sit on a high rating once they achieve it. There is a well-known, highly rated player, who recently stated that since he's going to the next 4 Pro-Tours based on his current rating, he won't play in any other sanctioned events that might drop his rating and knock him off the gravy train - I guess you can't get knocked out of any more top 8s if you're not in the tournament, huh? Highly rated players should get only 1 invitation per year based on their rating. If they don't earn an invite based on the results of their play AT THE PRO-TOUR, they should go back on the qualifier circuit like the rest of us.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I have a DCI number but have long forgotten what it is or if I have a ranking.

Good ideas, Mr.P.

1625 limited
1624 composite

no other ranking.

I only played FNM so cant get much more than that.

 

[Hetemti]

1600±10. I've only been in two prereleases, so I couldn't've moved too far.

constructed-1812
limited-1603
vintage-1538
composite-1707

I love playing t2 and extended... there definetly my best types. Vintage I'm not bad at. I played a couple of tournys when I first started and did really bad, thern i finnaly got good but he stopped sanctioning it after i got good ( not purposely, but no one cares bout vintage ) . I played like 1 sanctioned draft in my whole life, but actually draft a lot.

Limited: 1606
Constructed: 1626
Composite: 1616

Lemeesee, I think I gots a ways to go to get to the "1800" club, huh?

 

[Cateran Emperor]

Hrmm, I know I have a DCI card with a number on it here somewhere... ah the heck with it. I've never bothered to check, and I doubt I ever will bother.

 

[Neil Rigby]

Limited = 1939
Constructed = 1855
Composite = 1897

My constructed is pretty low right now, usually approx 1950. Gotta love those GP Top-8s for bumping up Limited though,

 

[Neil Rigby]

Highest ranked CPA member is almost certainly JohnO:

Limited = 2025
Constructed = 1901
Composite = 1963
Vintage = 1782

 

[FoundationOfRancor]

Lol...the only thing I ever went to was a Urza's Legacy pre-realease side-draft. And I totally got my "butt" whooped because I was young and draft in-expireienced.

*sigh*

Good job all of you! Im happy to see alot of you participate in some from of tourneys!

...

Limited: 1591

Composite: 1596

Some other one that isn't labeled but only includes one event so it might be the one constructed event I've played in: 1615

Let's please not go there...
My ratings are weighted too heavily in the past, when I played sanctioned at least once a week and sucked...really really sucked.

Now I'm lucky to play sanctioned once a month (more like every 6 weeks) and I still haven't recovered.

Let's just say...I wish I was as good as Sammy Dead-O and please please leave it at that.

Chaos Turtle hides his entire body in shame.

Well...I'll take that as a compliment.

 

[Captain Caveman]

Vintage: I haven't played in any Type I Tounaments

Constructed: 1743(8 events)

Composite: 1655(4 events)[I think thats bad, right?]

Limited: not sure what that is but its probably low.

[krichaiushii]

I have a DCI number, but have no idea what site to go to check my score (not that I imagine it being too high.)

Help please?

 

[krichaiushii]

Chaos Turtle -- thanks for the prompt response to my request for help. You went and posted a whole article for me...
