<p>Normalized Score?</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>I spent some time looking and couldn&#039;t find any info about Normalized Score. Seems like this might be worth adding to the wiki, as it&#039;s frequently imsunderstood. but I can&#039;t decide where to put it. Gameplay or Client areas? Here&#039;s what I found out, if anybody feels like adding it to the wiki.<br /> From clientbase/Player.cxx: float Player::getNormalizedScore() const<br /> Code: ((float)wins - losses) / ((wins+losses&gt;20) ? wins+losses : 20) <br /> means: (wins - losses) / (if (wins + losses &gt; 20) then wins + losses, else 20)<br /> Q: Why is the 20 in the formula? <br /> A: without the &#039;20 hack&#039;, you would geta divide by zero error for (wins + losses) == 0.</div>
