Congrats also for FM11 coming second and extending the lead in the scoreboard in front of thisispop. Good finish also for jackph89 and eightiespopkid Round 8 - for Sunday 28th February 2010
February 21, 201015 yr 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:
February 21, 201015 yr Near-win. I thought my prediction on 'Halo/WOS' was bad enough. :lol: 1st Half: 07-01-01-01-01-01-01
February 21, 201015 yr I'm beginning to suck at this :( same here pretty hard to predict this week though
February 21, 201015 yr *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?

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?

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: Edited February 21, 201015 yr by Hitstastic
