The system I used for Fifa is quite simple.

We take the Top-8 of the tournament.
Top player gets 8 points, 8th player gets 1 point. And based on results superiority, everyone gets their points accordingly.

So ideally, we should have :-
1st place - 8 points
2nd place - 7 points
3rd place - 6 points
4th place - 5 points
5th place - 4 points
6th place - 3 points
7th place - 2 points
8th place - 1 point

Now because in reality, tournaments are either single elim or double elim format. So we have to adjust the scoring system a bit, because although there is a clear top-4, there isn't a clear 5-8 placing.

Single-Elim

1st place - 8 points
2nd place - 7 points
3rd place - 6 points
4th place - 5 points
QF place - ? points
QF place - ? points
QF place - ? points
QF place - ? point

5th to 8th place was supposed to be this way:-
5th place - 4 points
6th place - 3 points
7th place - 2 points
8th place - 1 point

And because now the QFinalists are all equal in status, so we have:-
QF place - (4+3+2+1)/4 points = 2.5 points
QF place - (4+3+2+1)/4 points = 2.5 points
QF place - (4+3+2+1)/4 points = 2.5 points
QF place - (4+3+2+1)/4 points = 2.5 points

So we end up with this for Single Elimination:-
1st place - 8 points
2nd place - 7 points
3rd place - 6 points
4th place - 5 points
QF place - 2.5 points
QF place - 2.5 points
QF place - 2.5 points
QF place - 2.5 point



Double-Elim

1st place - 8 points
2nd place - 7 points
3rd place - 6 points
4th place - 5 points
5-6 place - ? points
5-6 place - ? points
7-8 place - ? points
7-8 place - ? point

For double elim, instead of a clear 5, 6, 7, 8 placing, we have joint 5-6 placing and also joint 7-8 placing.

5th to 6th place was supposed to be this way:-
5th place - 4 points
6th place - 3 points

And because now the 5-6 are now in equal status, so we have:-
5-6 place - (4+3)/2 points = 3.5 points
5-6 place - (4+3)/2 points = 3.5 points

Same goes for 7th to 8th place :-
7-8 place - (2+1)/2 points = 1.5 points
7-8 place - (2+1)/2 points = 1.5 points

So we end up with this for Double-Elim:-
1st place - 8 points
2nd place - 7 points
3rd place - 6 points
4th place - 5 points
5-6 place - 3.5 points
5-6 place - 3.5 points
7-8 place - 1.5 points
7-8 place - 1.5 points

Most definitely willing to continue do so

Probably this is the unofficial Malaysian Gaming Stats Association line-up haha..

Here are the results for Fifa07 at WGT for seeding points:-
1st place - 8 points - [W|nDs] Vin
2nd place - 7 points - [W|nDs] Si_Jali
3rd place - 6 points - [MyFes] Warrior
4th place - 5 points - [W|nDs] MaxSim

QFinalist - 2.5 points - Brot
QFinalist - 2.5 points - [W|nDs] Loon4tiC

Points of Interest:-
- Vin achieved a personal record by winning his first championship after consistently getting runner-up positions in no less than 6 major Fifa tourneys over the past 3 years.

- Although Vin won WGT, Si_Jali, the WCG and CELGAMES champion still held on to top ranking, just holding off Vin to be the season ranking no.1.

- Loon4tiC the CGS champion dropped one rank after losing to Warrior in the Quarterfinals, while Warrior moved up one rank by defeating MaxSim and getting 3rd at WGT.

- MaxSim is the top mover after WGT, moving up 3 spots after defeating SolidSnake along the way.

- We have a 3 newcomers to the ranking list, with Tornado clan making a statement through Seed.
