Melee ranking ...

Yes this is what i want. Aswell mini and micro. 
Hmm are you sure about the historical reasons?  Because the single bot weight classes are independent as far as i can see this.  My thought was that the battle pairing script isn't capable of matching the bots on weight classes for melee.  

I'm not sure if the client has to be changed, would'nt it be the same logic just with other battle pairings?  I mean if the client is ready to run shuffled melee it should be ready to run weight class battles just as good. I think there might be some work on server side to bring the right battlepairings up, but i could be wrong. 
About the reset of the current ranking results, well i have'nt thougt about this. I'm not sure how big the influence would be on the current results. On the other hand, maybe a reset brings back some vets to work on there bots again - who knows. 

All in all i really would like to see a ranking by classes. I find it very educational to start with the lower classes, because there is plenty to learn from.   


Sidenote: MN can you do something with your mn.SuperSittingDuck 1.0 it says on both (1.7.3.0 and 1.7.3.2) clients that i cannot handle this bot. It is something around version minor/major. (not quit sure i can recheck this if you want) ... no offense. It would just be nice.
