Banner and I are the best Mega Losers. yay.gif893scratchchin-thumb.gifChristo_pull_hair.gif

 

Also better than most of the losers too..... 893scratchchin-thumb.gif Also better than 1 of the winners! 893whatthe.gif Something is wrong here..... popcorn.gif

 

Interesting...I knew I was doing well with my grades and it looks like I'm tied for 1st using a more analytical approach to rankings. It's obvious this format doesn't work. Going into it I thought the brackets would be realigned after every round with the top guessers moving on, not that it would be mano-v-mano every round. frustrated.gif

According to my formula, which divides the total grades off (limiting each miss to no more than 3 grades) by the number of rounds submitted ... our leaders with an average miss of only 0.80 grades, would be ..... DRUMROLL .........

Some others would come in very close with 0.83.

 

All three had byes though which account for their lower Total Off average.

 

Actually, no it doesn't. I didn't include their byes in the formula. This number was based on only the 5 rounds they submitted grades. makepoint.gif

Actually he means that mathematically, with such a small number of rounds and "grades off" totals, you should be comparing the same number of rounds. It's no coincidence that the best rating for Byes is 0.80, and 0.83 those who played all of the rounds.

 

I'd personally like to see the standings of ALL those who got Byes, compared to those who did not. It is such a HUGE advantage in a contest like this, but I'd like to see exactly how much.

The original chart Nefaria made showed that you sumbitted a grade for only 1 round.

Whoops!! I am completely wrong. I must have been looking at someone else. Sorry Slacker, I'll get it fixed.

I think the easiest thing would be to have ComicSupply just disqualify him. That way, we can keep the chart. thumbsup2.gif

 

With the grade I supplied this round I probably disqualified myself tonofbricks.gif
