Just a thought----

something seems odd about giving more points for more revealing spots. Some people can guess on one or two squares - which is impressive to me.

Yup.  The harder it is, the higher value.  3 for 1 square, 2 for 2 squares, 1 from then onward.

Otherwise, you might end up with players waiting for more squares and sniping tactics rather than intelligent guesswork done from the start.

To me, it was a waste of effort participating in the earlier round.

Ridiculous, inconsistent scoring systems.

I’m out.

that is what I was suggesting--- give anyone who guesses the cover within

1 or 2 squares = 5 pts

3 - 4 squares = 3 pts

5-6 = 2 pts

7 or more = 1 pt

That to me seems more equitable given the difficulty at those levels (or maybe not quite so small as these squares are tiny - but some sort of graduated similar level like 1-3, 4-6 etc)

That sounds doable, I'm fine with carrying over the score, hopefully we get more players this go round... @JollyComics and any others, I think @Ken Aldred and @Get Marwood & I are across the pond and on different time schedules. 

Yes, I miss most of the fun for that reason alas. I knew ASM 138 from the first picture! I'll join in when I can - had a busy day yesterday with one thing and another.

It doesn't matter to me.  I'll support whatever scoring system you guys want.  You guys figure it out and we'll do it. 

[Get Marwood & I]

How about a competition where we argue over how a competition is scored? Most ridiculous scoring system wins a goat. Here's mine:

• One point if you guess correctly whilst only in your underwear but without a bag
• Two points for a correct guess on a Wednesday
• Three points if you guess wrong and you're name is Barry
• Free dogs every time someone farts in Russia

Do I get a prize?

Wahhhhh 

Why don't you score it like golf? You get it in one grid, you get a 1. You get the next one in 7 grids you get a 7. Your total is now 8, lowest score wins  Would this deter people from guessing the tougher covers? Would people just "snipe" and only answer ones they know in a couple guesses?

If I score once and sit out the rest of the rounds, I could win with low score. Unlike golf where strokes count, there's no way to record points for not getting the answer.

We all can't be here every time a round comes up. I know we can get very competitive, but would no points at all be such a terrible thing? I'd still participate just for the fun of it. Let's just enjoy the game.

Where can I get a free dog? My dog is getting old. And you can call me Barry.
