GPLRank Nations' Cup - British Isles Challenge...

Interesting, this. Looking at the Nations' Cup standings, we have:

3rd - Wales - ave -10.075
13th United Kingdom - ave +39.368
15th - Ireland - ave +41.516
16th - Scotland - ave +42.972
23rd - England - ave +62.917

No entries for the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man (whihc aren't
part of the UK, so can't go there).

Looks like the Welsh separatists are doing well, but the rump English
are having a nightmare (Brian). UK doing reasonably (at least I'm
helping them now I've improved!).

Hungary still lead from Slovenia, and at the bottom only Denmark's
average of over +100 keeps the US out of the ignominy of last spot.
(Damn. :-) )

I think this is what they just did to achieve those times in the first
place. :)

Our bosses are taking this situation very seriously, just wait and see....
The world will be shocked one of these days, Danish GPL'ers are gathering in
force and will soon be not last but.... second to last ;) Leaving the mighty
US drivers in the dust.

Seriously, the first "calling all danish gpl'ers" post in this NG a couple
of weeks ago started a lot of things... Danish GPL website, danish online
racing every single night for the past weeks ( not bad considering we are
8-10 guys ) and soon the glorious Danish GPL championship....

PS: just checked, and our beloved neighbour Sweden has claimed the last spot
thanks to Stefan B?ckstedt
clocking in with the quite extreme rating of +4436.98... we are victorious
:)

Stefan's surprising handicap got me curious.  I just had a look
at his times.  He has a 7:56 for the Ring, a 1:20 for Kyalami
which in my experience are very respectable if not downright
fast times.  At each of the remaining 9 tracks he has a best
time of 10:00.  Stefan must be the only driver in GPL history to
have a faster time at the Ring than at Watkins Glen :)

Cheers

Phil

Unless he's actually *driven* a 10 minutes dead at all the tracks, he
shoulcn't be on GPLRank in the first place. Obviously, artifically
worsening your score isn't as bad as artificially improving it, but
it's highly unfair on the other Swedes because of the Nations Cup.

Wow!  Is there a roller-skating version of GPL we've not been told
about.  :)

Stefan B?ckstedt has been deleted from GPLRank.
What Stefan B?ckstedt did was blatantly hack his player.ini to force GPLRank to
give him a handicap. Doing this totally disregards the basic concept, and the
spirit, of the GPLRank benchmark, which is that it's a rating of your OVERALL
mastery of gpl.
His actions also completely disrepect another important part of GPLRank, that
it is based on the honor system, on the honestly and integrity of the gpl
community, that people will ONLY edit their player.ini to DELETE clock smashed
times from online racing.
