In the Order of Merit table , only the top 15 scores count for each quizzer , so those that don't play so often do not lose out just for that.
sounds good tobers.
The quizzers are all in bed at this time ...tired out from taking part :D

Just had a peek Tobes, excellent work Sir.
Very fair method and a good order of merit table :)
Very fair method and a good order of merit table :)
also The FA Cup Quiz / 'Champion's League' will of course have 65 to winner etc
Only taking 15 Quizzes is just about the perfect method for the OOM.
Dan... "IF"** it suited you to join the Cola , WITHOUT having to take part in Admin , you would be welcome.... see Quiz League 2010 thread ...
I will update the results/table month by month during the rest of the week
think this should be the general basis for the 2010 scores/ table , but see what volunteers tthere are to help do iit and what they think should be changed.

JJ - Will have a look......and talk to you on it soon.
Night Joe :)
Tobes, will see who else volunteers first....but definitely available to help out if needed.

I like it Tobes, what is worthy of noting is the number of quizzes that are hosted by a person.
As GT will score alot less than he should because he cant compete when hosting his own, likewise for anyone else.
just the absolute defining line between which class they fall into will be the only factor id say. But that looks like alot of work for the coming year Tobes, dont envy the task but all the best in doing so.
Thinking of running quizzes regular through the day, maybe 4 a week or something similiar, all about 30Q themed questions per day.

This is seriously amazing stuff Tobe.
Well Done.
Maybe you could send your findings to BF and get them to put up a trophy or medal.
(for you, for doing all this).

Excellent stuff Tobes. That must have taken you ages to compile that. Good work!
Impressive, good to see that I'm on the scorechart. :-)
a lot of work gone into that. well done.
i am dismayed to discover that despite all my efforts at trying to improve my 39th place on the league even though i thought i had won loads of quizzes in the last two or three months i seem to have dropped to 42nd!!!
how has that happened please?

Superb Tobes. Makes it all very clear and I think that's a fair scoring system.
Very pleasing to see over 200 people on the table. So much for our quizes being cliquey!

Agree with everything said about Tobes' fantastic efforts in compiling this. Add my name to the list of volunteers to help also.
Munch Man, you are probably in the same boat as me as regard your positiion as the table is only up until June 30th. I'm hoping my better scores were in the second half of the year and that's probably true for you too.

I don't understand it but it looks great and very commendable. Well done, Tobes.
Dunno what your problem is Easter, but I would be very happy to think I were the 18th best quizzer on here. :)

Not got a problem at all slarty. I'd be happy enough with 13th too. I just reckon I'll be higher with all the results.
Had you not accepted Detroit I'd be 12th already. :)

MAD MAD MOON is one of the ten best quizzers on here but he is not around that often, so any table would not reflect his true position imo.
only has to play 15 throughout the year pang. no system can ever be perfect but this looks pretty fair to me.
Not complaining at all Easter, just noticed MMM was lower down the order but on his day can be as good as anyone on here.
Tobes, if you dont mind, can you also compile a spreadsheet of the number of questions answered in total during the season, the average time taken to answer by each quizzer, and the average number of letters in every 2nd question in each quiz please. Just when you get a minute, like. not straight away.
Shaky fancy asking such a ridiculous question, Toby would never be at his pc during Tiffin !
A totally selfless effort again Toby. Well done indeed, sir.
What did the Champions League come under ? Group 1 quizzes ?
lozzy in unable to decipher evidence shocker. :) they're 65 pointers.
Great work Nirv
Has anybody else noted that the most popular winning score is 32.
101 of the 1st 400 quizzes was won with 32 points
Hitchhikers was obviously wrong

101 of the quizzes also rated as Group 2. coincidence? ;)
Doh
Just realised not winning scores :(
Should read archive more carefully

You shouldn't inlcude the leagues tobes, as some people substituted for players who dropped out and thus inherited all their points. They may not have been anywhere near the position they finished in if they had been in since the start.
It's true Seasider some had good fortune in inheriting succesful 'franchises' and others - such as yourself i think - took over teams in the relegation zones. But i think almost all of those who finished Top Half were there all the way through , or at least 3/4 of the season , and deserve the points in the Merit Table.
Over a dozen players left the League last season and had to be replaced, but not to give anyone points would be unfair on all those players who played thoughout the season.
shub niggurath's fleeting appearance in the league relegated me! ;)

So Nirvana was the Official Chit Chat Quiz Champion of 2009 !
well done to him :)
well done to him :)
Great work Tobes, much appreciated.
Well done Nirv.
Well done Nirv.
Immense that, Tobes. Fantastic work. Very impressive. Didn't quite realise how big a scalp MMM was! :)
Good work Tobes and congratulations Nirv. Over 250 people entered quizzes...that's excellent!
Great stuff Tobes (and helpers?). But you have unfortunately omitted my only Grp 1 victory in Redrich's GK quiz in September - presumably overlooked because I drew with SLB. That victory also brought my total victories for the year to 10, meaning I could also be added to that esteemed list.
As a fastidious recorder of history I'm sure you will correct the sheet speedily. ;)

Fantastic work Tobes.. thanks very much.
Unfortunately you seem to have ommitted 14 of my 'Group 1' victories. If you could amend the table accordingly, I would be very grateful.
I believe that now puts me just above Nirv in the G1 table.. ;)
