<p>[QUOTE="BadThad, post: 991872, member: 17261"]I've been thinking about how to reward more guesses rather than the abitrary dropping every 10 grades. I'd like to see a "number of guesses correction factor". We can take your calculated score, subtract it from 1, then multiply by the number of guesses to get the final score. That would reward people for guessing. The more guesses you have, the higher your correction factor and the higher your score. That would also even out the abstained votes better. You could not be rewarded for not guessing, but if you have the guts, you're rewarded. The formula would be:</p><p> </p><p>(1-calculated score) x number of guesses = corrected score</p><p> </p><p>Using the new method the standings would be:</p><p> </p><p>bahabul 0.429 30 17.13</p><p>Leadfoo 0.462 28 15.06</p><p>BadThad 0.5 30 15.00</p><p>ddoomm1 0.381 23 14.24</p><p>Duke Ka 0.538 28 12.94</p><p>mark_h 0.556 29 12.88</p><p>swhuck 0.714 23 6.58</p><p>ldhair 0.455 12 6.54</p><p>Anarcho 0.765 18 4.23</p><p>tmoneye 0.8 16 3.20[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
