It's good to be back working on this project again. To get to the point, this March is meant to be a testing period for me to finally examine how the proposed systems myself and others have devised for a Squidboards Weapon Tier List will actually function in the wild. In this thread, I will be posting the results of the data I gather and the calculations I make based on the criteria established in my previous threads. This testing period will allow me to become fully acquainted with the management of data needed to create a tier list reflective of the meta of the competitive meta, and also to reveal how well the hypothetical systems that were created will function, and whether or not tweaks will need to be made.
Below is the composite tier list, created by adding together all of the data gathered over the course of March 1 through the release of Sheldon's Picks.
Last compiled April 2
The first set of data gathered was from the recent SCL 12 - Squid Within tournament, and this trial will run through every tournament posted on Squidboards that occurs this month and into April. Keep in mind, I only had access to matches that were broadcast on stream; however, I believe that this relatively small sample size will grow over time as more matches are broadcast later this month for more tournaments, allowing me to get a broader picture of the meta through a variety of different settings.
This thread is exclusively for the discussion of the current, trial tier list. To discuss or review any of the factors or calculations used in the creation of this tier list, please see the previous threads on the subject. Everything is explained in full there, so please try to refrain from asking about how the tier list or data was compiled in this thread. However, remember two things first:
1. Make sure you post a question or comment relating to a given portion of the process in the appropriate thread. If you don't, it makes it very hard for myself and others to find and address it.
2. I will not be making any changes to the proposed formula until this trial period is over.

I hope to have some more great discussions and brainstorming here, so that together we can make this the best possible version of the Squidboards community tier list.
