INTRODUCTION
The idea of the Official World Fan Ranking was
born in 1999. Simply because there was a great need for
a reliable, independent, global ranking where football
fans would be involved by voting for their favorite's.
F1 Ranking introduced a new ranking method which has
been proven to be a very reliable and simple measure for
comparing the actors in different sports. F1 Ranking has
chosen to compare different categories in order to make
the rankings as interesting as possible.
FANS
FIRST
F1 Ranking creates new rankings which have, according
to specialists, advantages over other current rankings.
The most important advantage is that the value of the
ranking is a measurement of the fans' thoughts. This is
one of the characteristics an ideal ranking system should
include. This fact is also a unique point in comparison
to other rankings. Most current rankings are created without
any input from fans. World Ranking believes that not just
the officials, journalists, magazines or any other select
group of 'experts' should give an opinion on who can be
called 'most favorite' or 'the best'.
It are the sporters and the fans that have made sports
to what it is. As the fans attend every single match/race,
bring the atmosphere and know everything about their favourite
sporter and team, it should be them to make up the rankings.
This ranking method allows for every single fan to decide
how much importance should be given to any aspect that
makes a specific sport the most loved game in the world.
F1 Ranking has more advantages like the use of databases
containing additional information on the ranking catagories
and a many years experience in the internet-based data-mining.
F1 Ranking is fully equipped to update the databases on
a day-to-day basis. The rankings are updates every 15
minutes.
A RELIABLE
RANKING METHOD
In order to reach a high level of reliability
F1 Ranking has created a new ranking method including
the following key features.
1] Only active drivers, teams, team managers, etc are
compared;
2] Only fans decide who is favourite;
3] Each vote is linked to a fan by name and e-mail address;
4] All fans have a personal profile in which their votes
are saved or can be changed in the future;
5] Dynamic nature, updated every 15 minutes;
6] Indirectly affected by all information fans get about
their favorites. This means the results of the ranking
can change considerably within a single day after a serious
incident has occurred.
Compared to most other rankings F1 Ranking is not directly
affected by
1] Amount of races won or lost;
2] Amount of points scored;
3] Penalties received;
4] Transfers;
5] A given period.
A RANKING AS SIMPLE AS
POSSIBLE
The indexation of each ranking is created through
a simple formula. The total amount of votes for a driver
(i.e.) is divided by the total amount of votes given to
all the players together. This results in a percentage
which is shown in the rankings.
The more votes your favorites get the higher their positions.
The index only shows the top performers who are still
active and excludes top performers from the past. Next
to that you can search the rankings to see on which position
your favorite is ranked.
Top
Performers of the Past
A driver that ends his career will be taken out of the
ranking and the voting menu. Former drivers could be added
to the 'Legends' ranking. A former driver that starts
a new career as a team manager will be added to the team
manager ranking. This means he now needs to be judged
as a team manager, starting with 0 votes. Fans could change
their votes whenever they like.
YOUR PERSONAL
DETAILS
Firstly you can generate
only one profile from each IP address. This means you
can enter the site and share your initial votes. Having
done this the computer system generates a unique personal
profile for you and the system will send you an e-mail
which gives you a unique ID and password.
We want to inform you that this is only done to verify
your e-mail address. Afterwards you can immediately log
in for the first time and check out the possibilities
of the Fan Zone. Each time you want to change your opinion
about one or more categories you simply can make an adjustment.
If you change your vote, one vote will be taken off your
former favorite and one vote will be added to your new
choice. This means that no matter how many times fans
change their votes the ranking stays as reliable as can
be.
