I'm pretty sure that it means you're a stacking whore, Brood.

The StackRating number is an general indicator of how often you end up on the "stacked team." (where "stacked team" is a winning team that had a higher level of skill than the opposing team)

So that means having a high StackRating doesn't necessarily mean you stack a lot. It just means you happen to be on the stacked side more often. You could be intentionally joining the stacked side every game or you could simply be so awesome that by simply joining a team you attract all of the other skilled players, forcing your side to win. There is no distinction.
All a positive StackRating means is that you happen to end up on the winning side of an imbalanced game more often than you end up on the losing side.

So people with negative stackratings beat the stack?

yes neo my .09 is abomitable. Thanks TE but i was curious if it was a ratio or how exactly its calculated, as of right now I have no idea what the number means. Are games where one team is up 5 helo at the end and win still counted as being stacked? What about when one side drops all its good players because its getting teabagged, then a bunch of noobs join up and suddenly the other team is considered stacked, etc. Is there a weighted system that considers this?

So to lose "stack rating" it means you are on the side that is stacked against and lose? Is that the only thing that lowers it?

Unless it is counting when half the enemy team leaves I'm not sure that is accurate.

It averages out the whole game, I believe.

The StackRating number is an general indicator of how often you end up on the "stacked team."
At what point? Is that in care of? DOes it have influence to this indication?
/edit:
Am thinking a thought to by about if it could or should have impact the point in time you join the game; does it matter you join the helo and player less, been asked to take over commanding which you do in hope, ending up in setting this helo less moment you join matter of interest to the indicator. *nuff wr'dd'en*

Question: Would it be possible for the lords of AllegSkill to add a frame at the top with all the categories so that some poor blind man like me doesn't have to scroll up every 20 seconds to remember which column is which?

Other than that, it looks great.

Yeah, I have to agree with this. A floating bar with names for the stat columns that stays pinned at the top of the page as you scroll down would be awesome.
