Tiebreaker Score Calculation

We’ve decided to release the formula by which we are breaking ties so it will not be this dubious number everyone complains about, while nobody actually knows how to calculate it or where we are getting it from. We are currently looking at implementing this into the tables so you can see the score heading towards the end of the season without waiting until admins confirm whether you have a good enough tiebreaker score.

Previously for Season 20 we were using the Sonneborn-Berger Score, however we have come to realise this is not a good representation of what we want to achieve – an accurate value that can compare the difficulty of opponents faced throughout the season. We have modified this system ourselves to suit ETF2L’s specific needs compared to Chess (which is what the Sonneborn-Berger score is intended for).

  1. For each match, calculate the ratio of points the team earned compared to the maximum, and multiply this by the opponent’s total score in the competition. Use only scores and opponents from “valid” matches  (matches that were not default wins and were not against dropped opponents).
  2. Calculate the sum of all scores calculated via the above method.
  3. Divide the sum by the number of “valid” matches played.

Here is an example from the Season 21 tiebreakers for UnitedKingdom FG eSports

  • Week 1 vs Colombia Колумбийские наркобароны: 3-3 (3/6 * 20 = 10)
  • Week 2 vs Romania Gardienii Fortei Mistice: 3-3 (3/6 * 28 = 14)
  • Week 3 vs Finland MGE FAMILY: 3-3 (3/6 * 15 = 7.5)
  • Week 4 vs International Reverse Offence: Default Win
  • Week 5 vs European Fakin Ritar eSports: 6-0 (6/6 * 19 = 19)
  • Week 6 vs CzechRepublic Ohnive Prdele: 6-0 (6/6 * 24 = 24)
  • Week 7 vs European Twenty-Seven 2-4 (2/6 * 32 = 10.66)

Total score: 10+14+7.5+19+24+10.66 = 85.166..

Divided by the total valid matches played: 85.166/6 = 14.19

14.19 is their tiebreaker score, which is an indication of both the difficulty of opponents, and their performances against them.

Medigun Update

With the recent patch is it now possible to pick up other players weapons. Clearly this has a huge impact on the game, particularly when it comes to ubers. Thus we have decided to prohibit picking up dropped weapons for the remainder of Season 21. This includes all weapons. We will reconsider the changes post season for the upcoming Seasons and Cups.

If you think that your opponent has picked up a weapon, please contact an admin on IRC. The punishments may range depending on the severity of the rule break and based on admin discretion.

    I thought the tiebreakers were decided by round difference.

    How the hell do you expect to effectively monitor this?

    What a bait and switch.

  8. Permzilla: (Legend) - (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ - WiK? said:

    @Meeto

    It’s based solely on player reports. It works exactly the same way as any class limit breaks (ie not enforced by the server).

  9. nole: BWB said:

    hehe get fucked by sonneborn berger q:^)

  10. JMaxchill: PBS said:

    If you’re going to prevent weapon drops, wouldn’t it make sense to add the command preventing weapons from being dropped to the config (although I haven’t been able to find the command for that despite the rumours)?

  11. Tenshi: 50829 said:

    It’s really funny how gamsjaga even got 28 points. Not only did they get 6 free points, but they also only had easy opponents.

  12. Jan: (League Admin) - |FV| said:

    @JMaxchill:

    Command is “tf_dropped_weapon_lifetime 0”, however it’s marked as cheat, so you’ll need SM running on your server to change it: “sm_cvar tf_dropped_weapon_lifetime 0”

    Rogue will never forget that Berger guy. :D

  13. Scissors: (ETF2L Donator) said:

    can’t believe pete’s team made top 7 tbh, tf2 is truly dead…

  14. JMaxchill: PBS said:

    @Jan

    Would that work if executed in the ETF2L config, or does that not have the necessary permissions?

  15. repu said:

    buhu my team wasnt good enough to make playoffs now imma bitch about the system

  16. Homer J.: \V/ Gold - CGAY&BB said:

    “prohibit picking up other players weapons”

    im fine, i still may pick up my own medi gun then after i dropped the uber

  17. Homer J.: \V/ Gold - CGAY&BB said:

    damn sonny fixed it :X

  18. Permzilla: (Legend) - (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ - WiK? said:

    @JMaxchill

    We don’t enforce Sourcemod in the config.

  19. Jan: (League Admin) - |FV| said:

    @JMaxchill

    Like Permzilla said, it wouldn’t work. It also wouldn’t work on servers rented on serveme.tf, as you need “cvar” flag to change server cvars. And even if you are donator and enable SOAP, you still don’t have access to SM functionallities. So it would only work on your own properly configured server.

    @Permzilla

    Is playing matches with that cvar changed allowed?

  20. ducky said:

    If you’re worried about “accidently” picking up weapons just unbind your action key for the duration of the official.

    It’s the most simple solution really.

  21. Pete_: PrettyGay said:

    It’s really funny how tenshi is salty that Austria > Germany in high. Und weida Piefke

  22. Meeto said:

    @Permzilla

    Dw, I’m not too bothered. It was just a little surprising considering the table’s. Maybe table positions could be altered based on Sonneborn as well? Unlike Rogue, I can admit my team wasn’t good enough this season to get into playoffs.

  23. Permzilla: (Legend) - (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ - WiK? said:

    @ Meeto

    From the newspost:

    “We are currently looking at implementing this into the tables so you can see the score heading towards the end of the season without waiting until admins confirm whether you have a good enough tiebreaker score.”

  24. Meeto said:

    My bad, I should have read it better.

  25. Mirelin said:

    I don’t get whose idea was it to prohibit the weapon picking. If you play your cards well it will benefit only you and your team. This innovation was amazing and added tremendous amount of fun.

    Feeling very sad. Yet I am glad that I play only pickups where weapon picking is allowed :D

  26. Selek: Dr. med. said:

    I’m sure there will be a rule update for next season, Mirelin. Possibly huge changes like this are never a good idea during a season, though. It’s like newly released unlocks.
