Point System Rework

posted on Feb. 21, 2017, 6:35 p.m. 6

Over the past few weeks, we have been trialing a new system for ranking users based on points. After a number of revisions based on suggestions from those enrolled in experimental features, we feel the system is stable enough as-is to make public.

Why a new system?

The old system over-awarded those who spent time "farming" a large number of easy problems, and under-rewarded those who spent time figuring out more complex solutions. The new system hopes to strike a balance in ranking between users who solve many problems, and users who solve fewer — but harder — problems.

How are points calculated?

In short, the new points system takes the weighted sum of the top 100 submission scores on distinct problems. The score of the $i^{th}$ problem is weighted by $0.95^i$ . Formally, where $S$ represents sorted scores and $P$ a user's base points,

$\displaystyle P = \sum^{\min(99,\ \left| S |\right)}_{i=0} 0.95^i \cdot S[i]$

To not over-penalize users who have dedicated time to solving many problems, an additive adjustment $B$ is made to the base point value. Where $N$ is the number of problems a user has a fully-accepted solution on,

$\displaystyle B = 150\cdot(1-0.997^N)$

A user's point score is then the sum $P + B$ .

How can I see a problem's contribution to my points?

A new table has been added to the Problems tab of profile pages, which displays the 100 submissions used in the generation of their point score, as well as their weights.
