How are the ratings calculated?
The ratings are based on the four major annual quizzes run or facilitated by QA:
-
Australian Quiz Championships (weighted 100%)
-
Australian State Championships (weighted 80%)
-
World Quiz Championships - IQA (weighted 90%)
-
World Quiz Championships - OQL (weighted 90%)
Ratings are updated four times per year, i.e. after every major quiz.
A quizzer's best three weighted scores (only) from the four most recent quizzes are included. They are scaled to a score out of 100, weighted, averaged, and then normalised.
As an example, a quizzer who scored 66 in the State Championship which had an Australia-wide top score of 84 would receive a weighted score of 66/84 *100 *80% = 62.9 for that event. If this was among their top three scores for the past 12 months, the quizzer's new rating would be the average (mean) of those three scores. This average is then normalised (divided by 0.9) to produce a player rating. Normalisation ensures that all ratings are out of a theoretical maximum of 100. These ratings are then sorted to provide the rankings.
Can I get my ranking?
Yes, provided you have played at least two of the four major quizzes listed above in the previous 12 months. Ratings and rankings for those outside the top 40 are available via an email request. There are currently 134 Australian quizzers with an active ranking.
