Understanding the Krreritas Rating System (KRS)
The Krreritas Rating System (KRS) is designed to give a comprehensive evaluation of a driver's performance and on-track conduct in a concise and easily understood manner.
Through a series of sophisticated algorithms and extensive statistical analysis of in-game data, KRS provides an array of scores that offer a simple yet comprehensive measure of drivers' abilities and attitudes on the track.
The scoring system is divided into two main categories, each independent from the other.
Krreritas Performance Points (KPP or P) assesses a player's speed, consistency, and confidence on the track.
Krreritas Karma Points (KMP or K) reflects a player's aggressiveness, potential for causing disruption, and overall racing etiquette.
Each session that a driver participates in generates unique P and K points, providing a perspective of the driver's performance within the context of that session. These are known as Session Performance (SP) and Session Karma (SK).
Additionally, KRS calculates an overall P and K score, which reflects a driver's performance across multiple sessions.
Both overall performance and karma are calculated based on a driver's SP earned per day over the past 90 days.
Distinguishing Between Overall and Session Scores
When you see P or K alone, these refer to the overall performance and overall karma, respectively. Session Performance or Session Karma will be explicitly referred to as SP or SK.Deep Dive into Krreritas Performance Points KPP
The KPP system operates differently from other rating systems, which might award or deduct points based on certain in-game activities. Instead, think of KRS as a vigilant instructor that observes and evaluates your actions continuously, also taking into account your most recent activities.
Every qualifying or race session in which you complete at least one valid lap will be subject to evaluation by the KRS. Your Session Performance (SP) will be calculated at the end of each session.
The Overall Performance score takes a slightly different approach, as it is updated every few minutes based on your SP scores from the last 90 days.
Momentum Factor: The Temporal Component of KPP
Both overall performance and karma are calculated based on a driver's SP earned per day over the past 90 days.
To better reflect a driver's consistent performance, SP earned each day is averaged over the last 90 days. Days without play don't count as 0 SP anymore, but as an average SP, influenced by the newly introduced Momentum Factor.
The 'SP per day' charts, viewable on the 'Simracer stats' page, provide a graphical representation of the data underlying the KPP score calculation. Remember, frequent play helps keep your momentum up and fills the gaps in your graph, which results in a healthier KPP score.
Keep Your Momentum High!
Regular participation ensures your Momentum Factor stays robust. The more you hit the track, the more your momentum stays high and positively influences your average SP. Take a long break, and your momentum goes for a snooze, leading to a decrease in your KPP score. This applies to both P and K scores.Strategies for Achieving a High Session Performance Score
Deliver Quick Lap Times
Speed forms the foundation of your score. Both your best and average lap times are taken into account.
Avoid Cutting Corners
Laps where the track limits are exceeded negatively impact your SP.
Complete Your Sessions
Completing sessions from start to finish will earn you more Performance Points than sessions that are left unfinished.
Consistency is Key
Aim to maintain a high ratio of valid laps to total laps, particularly in Race sessions.
Finish in a High Position
For Qualifying sessions, positions are determined by comparing each player's best lap time. In Race sessions, final grid positions are considered (Full session completion is required for this boost to be applied. Stay on the server for time-based sessions or reach the lap limit for other session types.)
How to Improve Your Overall Performance Score
Earn Session Performance (SP) Points
As mentioned earlier, your Overall Performance score is based on your SP scores from the past 90 days. Therefore, accumulating SP is essential for improving your Overall Performance score.
Participate Regularly and Frequently
To have your Overall Performance score calculated, you need to complete at least 10 race or qualifying sessions, achieving at least one valid lap in each session.
Prevent Your Performance Score from Decaying Over Time
We have already discussed this in the Temporal Component of Overall Scores section.
Krreritas Karma Points KMP
Krreritas Karma Points (KMP) gauge a player's track behavior, with collisions with other players figuring into the calculus. This means all players involved in an incident will receive a penalty to their Karma score, regardless of who caused the incident.
Your target is always to maintain a Karma score of zero or as close to zero as possible.
Don't fret if you occasionally get caught up in incidents. As previously mentioned, our KRS evaluates your overall trends, and outlier values are softened by the algorithm. With careful and sensible driving, it should be relatively easy to keep your Karma score low.
Avoid Hit-and-Run Incidents
If you're involved in an incident and then quit the race, your Session Karma (SK) score will take a significant hit. We understand that incidents are part of motorsports, and it's not considered appropriate to quit a race because of an incident.
This policy ensures that reckless drivers and those who deliberately cause disruptions are heavily penalized.
Our self-developed Z.A.S. (Zombie Annihilation System) factors in KMP when weeding out disruptive players from the server. With this system, we're making sure that everyone enjoys a smooth and fair racing experience!
Tips to Lower Your KMP
Let's get back to basics, the golden rule: Steer clear of contacts and incidents. Keeping your races clean is not only the best racing etiquette, but it also helps maintain a low KMP.
Participating in sessions with zero or minimal KMP is an effective and rapid way to lower your Karma. Every clean race you complete counts! If you find yourself unable to join regular servers due to a high KMP, don't worry. Our dedicated Karma Redemption servers are always open for you to engage in clean races, which in turn help in reducing your KMP.
Much like your KPP score, Karma is influenced by time. Even if you're off the tracks for a while, don't be surprised to see your Karma score naturally decreasing over time. It's our way of giving you a bit of a breather. But remember, the best way to keep a low KMP is to consistently race with care and respect for your fellow drivers.
