Who get s rated? Any player who played at least
1 game in the NHL for the season being rated.
All stats for goals, assists, +/-, hits and pen
mins are prorated to 82 games before calculating rating. Note not required
if calculating PA or SC using the rerater program.
NOTABLES:
Rookie players who played 15 games or less will have their calculated attribs modified by - 15%
It goes without saying that even in calculated attributes sometimes there will be a manual adjustment to compensate for a players true ability.
Process:
All calulated attribs are done based on the
players actual NHL stats for the season.
Players are sorted into teams and sent to people
(wiht hockey knowledge) These folks rate the attribs that
are subjective. We try to get reviewers that
know the teams they are looking at.
One all the raters are done the returned files are combined again into one list and the OV applied. Then the file is resent out to the reviewers to look at the complete list of players sorted by posistion. Here they may suggest a higher or lower OV. They return their sheets and the sum of the reviewers comments is divided by the number of reviewers who commented to get an average. If this average is higher or lower than the current OV then we tweak attribs to bring them inline with the raters comments.
The master file with all vital information is copiled and the sent for conversion to DRS. During this time the pre ratings are made public for feedback. Players that comments are made on are reviewed and a list of corrections are made. The DRS will be edited based on the accepted changes.
The final DRS is named and packaged with a
help file, html list of all players and a rookie list. The package is then
made public or anyone to use. People who are not satisfied with the end
result at this stage have 3 options.
1-Do your own!, 2-Edit what you want for your
own use, 3-Don't use them at all!
