Hellow, i have some questions about gametracker.
1. How do you calculate the rank of server? Does it matter if players are playing or spectate??
2. If i have...let's say 53.75 at "time played" this means i have 53 hours played and 75 minutes? (my brain tells me that an hour has 60 minutes, not 75)
3. How do you calculate score/min? If i divide my score to my minutes i don't get the same result that is displayd on gametracker.

BTW...i am sorry if my english is bad. I haven't practiced from a while.

1. Rank is based on the popularity of the server. The more players that join the server and thus, the average number of players over time will increase or decrease your rank.
2. If you are looking in the player list, then it is 53 and 3/4 hours.
3. Score per minute is your total score divided by time. You'll have to calculate the minutes in 53.75 hours or view the player profile to see that number instead of using 53.75

So it doesn't matter if a player stays connected 20 minutes or 24 hours? What matters is the number of players that connect to the server. Have i understood correctly?

I have a new quoestion. What determines the "Score"? The number of frags a player makes?

If ranked was only viewed over 20 minutes, then yes it would not matter. However, rank is considered through all of the scans over the past month. Both servers would have 1/24 players for the first 6 scans (1-20 minutes), however, after that, the server with the player who played for only 20 minutes would report as 0/24. The rank of the server with the player who was on for 20 minutes would be less because the average number of players over time is lower.

Score can be largely dependent on game. Some games give points for kills, may take points for deaths and teamkills, give points for objectives, etc. You may want to visit a game fansite if you have not figured out how the game creates your score by now.

The game to witch i refer is counter strike 1.6.
In game i know how rank works.
But, on gametracker i don't know how the algorithm that calculate players score works. The score is determined by kills and deaths? Or it have something to do with the number of kills over a couple of minutes or map?

I hope i am not stressful. I am trying the best i can to explain in english.

There is no manipulation of the score by GameTracker. GT reports what the server responds with.

My next question would be if the cs server reports kills only, but cs servers are not your domain.

Thank you kind sir for your help
I have no more question.
