thats a shitty really good bad idea

Make it 6s and I'm in

How would you define the point system?

This actually sounds really cool.

Seems like the prizes would have to be community-funded, unless you get a system sponsored by Wireplay or whatever cause UGC doesn't even give out cash prizes for winning the league

I actually made a pt system for this in highlander a while back, just a 1st draft tho, not tested

I don't think it would ever work, but it would be pretty fun to pit fantasy teams against each other.

nice

add an ESEA match ID to the end.

I can make it use mustards system if you want, but not class specific. In HL it's probably easier to do, but you'll have to have someone verify they're the right class and all that stuff. It'd be easier if I had logs and could see if X killed the med, etc.

Also, fantasy kinda sucks for TF2 because closer games are worth more points. A team that is superior to another team and rolls them 5-0 will generally get less points than a 2-5 team that lasted over 50 minutes. Having better players play against a worse team ends up ruining stats.

Use the length of the match as a decreasing score multiplier the longer the game is for their overall point total

I'm not sure, I just still wanna try it out. You seem like you know what you're talking about.

Have you played with making the fantasy points all per-minute based rather than total frags/deaths/assists ect? I would think that would help, but I haven't really looked into it.

I was attempting to fantasy system similar to teamliquids fantasy proleague a while back, but I only got about as far as what browny posted.

Yeah, probably could do something like

if(match_length > 20) non_perminute_stats *= 20/match_length

. Might actually be effective since closer games have more transition/stalemate time than rolls.

Not sure, but I remember I was partially against it because of people who need subs in the middle of a game getting over represented.

Should I make a page where you can insert your own point values for everything? I figure if you guys want to theorycraft the right amount I can make it simpler.

Uploading code in a bit. Note that it's in Java because I didn't want to run python for now.

ScoreCalc is the one you want to modify values. I can make it more readable tomorrow after I finish up some stuff.

if you want to just use java (no other stuff), try the command (from outside the directory):

java -cp "/usr/share/java/jsoup-1.7.2.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-lang3-3.1.jar:/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar:./tf2_fantasy:." tf2_fantasy.TF2_Fantasy match_id

Replace the part in quotes with the path to jsoup, commons-lang3, and mysql java connector libraries. I have the mySQL part because I was considering making a DB for it, but couldn't decide on an effective way to make stats seem fair.

I'd definitely do this if it actually happens

The sub thing is a good point, but the way I was making it you could easily go back and edit the time that is used to calculate their points, since things like pauses would mess it up as well.

Hm, I thought ESEA servers account for it considering pauses don't take away from time left. I could easily make a lot of parts editable (though it's going to need 100 more command line options).

They don't account for it in stats, however another option would be to somehow create a demo parser that would extract stats, pause time, ect, something like sizzling stats but for stv demos, although I haven't been able to find any documentation on how demo files are built, only info on the headers of them.

Interesting idea. It could work, but it would need a good amount of participation.
