-------------------------------------------

 

Unexpected win for me (*Ben*) this week with quite off from the actual top 10 (13 off :o) but this week, it looks like, it was pretty difficult to predict.

Congrats also for FM11 coming second and extending the lead in the scoreboard in front of thisispop.

Good finish also for jackph89 and eightiespopkid :thumbup:

 

Round 8 - for Sunday 28th February 2010

23. Hitstastic - (22) 17.5 Pts, bonus: 7

 

Glee Cast being #20 really did help me. :lol: Other than this, terrible as per usual. :lol:

Near-win. I thought my prediction on 'Halo/WOS' was bad enough. :lol:

 

1st Half: 07-01-01-01-01-01-01

*Ben*, out of interest how does the scoring work? I just looked back at the predictions I made last week - as well as others ;) - and almost all my predictions were out by one place as I predicted 'You Got The Dirtee Love' as a new entry at no. 9 but it ended up no. 2, but I got positions 2-5 all out by one. How does that equal 17.5 pts? I got 7 points from the bonus questions but do I only get points for a correct top 10 prediction?

 

So Helping Haiti got me 10 points, plus my bonus of 7. Where does the .5 come from?

People will be placed in an order according to the score, that means how far he/she was of the actual top 10. This "score" though is not your points, just helps to order the players. This week you were off 22 positions, so you were 23rd best. 23rd gets normally 18 Pts.

 

Well I know it's a bit difficult, but if there's a three way tie, for example at the fifth positions, the points for 5th, 6th and 7th will be added up and divided by 3.

 

5th gets 36

6th gets 35

7th gets 34

 

36+35+34=105

 

105 / 3 = 35

 

You were 23rd together with 1 another member:

 

23rd - 18 Pts

24th - 17 Pts

 

18+17=35

35 / 2 = 17.5

 

The bonus points will be added afterwards, so in the end you received 17.5 + 7 = 24.5

 

Has this helped you to understand the system?

Less bad than usual here too :cheer:

Yes, that makes sense but it does seem really complicated. :lol: Obviously it isn't as you know what you're doing. :P I thought it was more like this;

 

01. Helping Haiti (correct prediction = 10 pts)

02. Owl City (no. 3, out by 1 place = 9 pts)

 

etc...

 

08 (12) Jedward (no. 11, out by 3 places = 7 points)

 

So ultimately the highest score you could get a week was 100 pts plus 10 points via the bonus questions. :lol:
