I’m now #120 in the site 19x19 ladder.
If i click the link “Site 19x19 ladder” in my profile page it brings me to page #7, users from #121 to #140 (I didn’t change the default of 20 players per page).
I see the bug is closed on github but had the same problem few days ago.
I was #100 and was sent to page #5 (100 / 20 players per page), but my record was the first on page #6.
Since the bug is fixed I tried to figure how could it be and found this:
If I remember correctly this isn’t the first time that many players on the ladder has the same rank. Maybe there is some other bug about player’s rank after a game.
When this happens, also the math that calculates which page to send the player becomes inconsistent.
To be honest, I think the logic for this is quite wrong anyhow
I don’t want to be placed near the top of the page, I want to be on the bottom of the page, so I can see the maximum number of people above e that I can challenge.
Yes, because on the ladder we only look up.
But it couldn’t be enough.
Ladder rules allow to challenge players that are many ranks (and pages) far from you and I had two different motivations to do so:
if you want to climb fast, you look for the farthest player that you can challenge
if you are near the top, then it’s difficult to find players to challenge because they are all too strong, so you have to scroll the whole list to pick one that isn’t too much stronger
It would be nice to be on bottom of the page and also have a filter (just like the one in the “play” page) that shows only eligible players, and a scrollbar to view them all.
