After a tournament ends, all we get is a few vague confirmation dialogs that present the spoils of our efforts. As a competitive tournament player (with a serious case of data nerd tendencies), I would like a mechanism to see:
- My EXACT finishing placement in the tournament, not just “top 25” - it’s one of my biggest complaints - I spend a week fighting for a top spot, slip back a few rungs during the last minute, and I don’t know if I missed the tier I was going for by 1 spot or by 15.
- How many matches I played
– Date / Timestamped would be great
– Who I played against
– An easy way to view their level vs. my level - I have to play against a lot of teams that are wayyyy over my levels
^^^ This info can help me decide who to skip - what’s the threshold for being out of my league?
^^^ I write this stuff down manually anyway sometimes, automate it for me please - My boost usage statistics
– How many used of which kinds for the duration of the tournament
– Win/Loss analysis of using boosts or not (I’ll keep using them for ends of tourneys, no question) - The final standings of all players in the tournament
– Details about each player and the cards they used, if possible - I don’t know how much match history you keep, but I assume… all of it? Spread the love to us data nerds! - A way to view my all-time tournament placements / averages / trends so that I can answer questions like:
– Am I getting better or worse over time?
– What mix of characters has produced the best results?
– I would use the data to help inspire others to play (“See what I accomplished in MPQ? You can too! It’s not just about collecting the covers!”)
– I would build my own pivot tables if I could get at the raw data! - Global bracket information published post-tournament
– How many brackets, overall finishers and their teams/stats
Also, new players may be more likely to help contribute (HP purchases most likely) if they see a historical record of tournaments in some way. Just like seeing a list of lottery winners - they could imagine themselves in their shoes, placing high and enjoying the spoils of their hard-earned victories.
