longest losing streak

[Jethro]

how is this computed? the most games in a row i lost is nine but it states my longest losing streak is 17?

How are you determining longest losing streak?

If you are using "find a game", only a portion of the games you played shows up there. anything played in tournaments can not be searched but still adds to your calculations.

on my archived tab it shows as i win or am defeated in every game- 9 in a row was the most lost

 

[Bluebonnet]

Archived tab does show games ended in order and will show tournament games. But it only goes back for the most recent 40 or so games. You have played 53, so 13 games are still hidden.

So it wont be totally accurate either.

However, your record could still be incorrect with less than 17 in a row. All i am trying to say is there is no proof positive way of you knowing for sure with the tools you have available to search.

Well, I definitely think something is wonky with the way that's calculated. Mine shows 20, I'm pretty damn sure I never lost 20 games in a row..... But that's so long ago, there's no way for me to search it.

Is it not computing the sum of players in the games you lost by any chance? Dumb question, but would explain the difference

 

[Jethro]

i know my longest losing streak has been nine. i have been following it- it does not compute the sum- No worries all- just that that stat is incorrect

You mean the team games, right?
I guess that must be the case... so if you lose a crusade, you instantly get a 12 losing streak, right?

Btw I made a search for your games, 35 of your 58 games are showing. Is it possible you played 23 tourney games compared to your 35 normal games? If yes, you're an animal.

And in your 35 normal games you have 1 doubles and 1 sixers lost. Doesn't really add up... I don't know.

Yep, that's what I meant. 1 lost game accounts the number of winning players

negative lord. guarantee games lost is for each unique game number in a row. doesnt matter how many people you lost to.

i earned mine the hard way.

 

[Jethro]

I believe i have one won 11 out of 35 completed games with 23 in progress as of right now. Nine was the longest losing streak and i am pretty sure it does not count a loss of 11 if you lose a 12 player game- nonetheless, i'm sure the sheriff has all the answers

Considering the winning and loosing streaks are computed in the same way, I show you my current winning streak as an example:

Current streak: 22

I have 5 latest won games. Within these 6 games there were 22 players that lost the game for me, or for my team.

Game 1: 6 loosers
Game 2: 6 loosers
Game 3: 3 loosers
Game 4: 3 loosers
Game 5: 4 loosers

Equals: 22 loosers. ----> current streak: 22

So, yes, I think I got it right.

The team games make that number larger.
But if you win in singles, it counts all the players as streak. However, in singles, when you loose you only loose for the winner, thus it counts as 1 negative streak. That's the only difference from winning and loosing streaks

Losing streaks are NOT calculated in same exact way as winning streaks. 99.99% sure anyway

Winning streaks do count for everyone you beat in a game.

4 player doubles win equals 2 for a win streak but only 1 for a losing streak.

So winning streaks count people, losing streaks count games.

I've always been curious about this - mine is incredibly high, 36 games, and I think that was just because my first 36 games were lost - I remember losing A LOT of games in a row, but never actually checked how many. 1 game = 1 losing streak count? My main game all the way back then would have been just classic evolved in real time, so not much teaming would have been in that.

 

[LordAdef]

I hope Sheriff comes and explains exactly how it works then

Confirmed, losses is not calculated like wins.

My current longest losing streak is 20 on my profile.

current game history
game 1 5ers = 5 losses
game 2 6ers = 6 losses
game 3 6 person doubles = 2 losses
game 3 4 person doubles = 2 losses
game 5 assassins = 1 loss
game 6 6'ers = 6 losses

total 22 losses


conclusion. losses not counted like wins. losses based on the number of games lost and not the number of individuals lost too.

another 6'ers lost. so losses to 28 individuals. but only lost 7 games.

my longest losing streak still holds at 20.

Great gtivan, thanks!

 

[Jethro]

still doesn't explain how my longest losing streak is 9 but it is posted as 17. luckily my well being doesn't hinge on this discrepancy
