The Ommatidia Score
It is a computer science algorithm. Nothing else. The same math runs on everybody, there
is no favoritism, and nobody can pay to move a number. Every score starts at 0 and there is no cap on top.
Here is exactly how it is built, in plain terms, so anyone can follow it. You do not have to agree. You just
have to be able to see it.
The formula, in one line
Your score is the points from every fight of your career, added up, with older fights counting less.
Each fight = (what the result is worth) × (how good the opponent was) + bonuses − penalties, then multiplied by how recent it was. Add every fight together. It never drops below 0.
1 · What each result is worth
+100Win by KO / TKOEnding it with strikes says the most.
+100Win by submissionMaking someone quit counts the same as a knockout.
+60Win by decisionA win is a win, but going to the cards scores under a finish.
−40Loss by decisionLosing costs points.
−60Loss by KO or submissionGetting finished costs more than dropping a decision.
+10 / 0Draw / No contestA draw is +10 each. A no contest is worth nothing, for anyone.
2 · Who you beat (the multiplier)
Beating a better fighter is worth more. That win above gets multiplied:
× 2.0Beat the champion or the #1
× 1.6Beat a top-5 fighter
× 1.3Beat a top-15 fighter
× 1.0Beat someone unranked
3 · Bonuses and penalties
+15Finishing in round oneDominance counts.
−25Missing weightNo exceptions, ever.
4 · Why it reads "best right now" (time)
Every fight fades as it ages, so a fighter who stops winning gets passed:
× 1.0In the last yearFull value.
A worked example
A fighter knocks out the #1 contender in round one, this year:
100 (KO) × 2.0 (beat #1) + 15 (round-1 finish) = 215 points
Five years from now, with no new wins, that same fight is worth 215 × 0.3 = 65. That is why old greatness fades unless you keep fighting.
That is the whole method. No favoritism, nobody pays to move a number, and it is
all right here. These weights are our starting model and may be tuned as the sport is studied, always in the
open. Agree or not, you can see exactly why every number is what it is.
