Or in the case of three joint winners, for example, 20 points instead of 15.67.

And is it that only 10 people can score points like the table i posted ? Or do we go down the scores counting equal scores as one place so that more than 10 people can score points

I presume it is possible for more than 10 people can score points in some situations.
For example, if the first 9 positions are clear-cut, and then 5 people share 10th place, they each receive 0.2 points (ie a share of the point for 10th). So 14 will receive points. But if the 11th finisher has less points than the 10th person, regardless of how many joint positions there above them, they receive nothing. That's the way I've read it. So if the the first 6 positions are clear-cut, then the next 3 finishers have the same points, they share the points for those 3 positions: ie 4+3+2 / 3 = 3 points each and if there is an outright 10th, that person receives 1 point. Does that make sense? So has Richard retired from running the comp? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'll give a couple of examples:
1st 45 20PTS 2nd 42 15PTS 3rd 40 11PTS 3th 40 11PTS (SHARE OF 3RD + 4TH) 5th 39 7PTS 5th 39 7PTS (SHARE OF 5TH + 6TH) 7th 37 4PTS 8th 36 3pts 9th 35 1.5 pts 9th 35 1.5 pts (share of 9th&10th) 11th 34 (no points) Example 2: 1st 50pts 2nd 45 3rd 42 4th 40 5th 39 6th 38 7th 36 8th 34 9th 33 10th 30 1oth 30 10th 30 each receive 0.33. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I always thought it was scored like this, where there were no limits to the scorers
![]() 1st 50pts 2nd 45 3rd 42 4th 40 5th 39 5th 39 6th 38 6th 38 6th 38 7th 36 7th 36 7th 36 8th 34 9th 33 9th 33 9th 33 9th 33 10th 30 10th 30 10th 30 10th 30 10th 30 10th 30 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's not correct.
So in that example: 1st 50 20pts 2nd 45 15pts 3rd 42 12pts 4th 40 10pts 5th 39 7pts 5th 39 7pts (ie a share of the points for 5th & 6th) 7th 38 3pts 7th 38 3pts 7th 38 3pts (ie a share of the points for 7th - 9th) 10th 36 0.33pts 10th 36 0.33pts 10th 36 0.33pts (ie a share of the point for tenth) Remainder not in top 10 and no points awarded. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

What if one day we all scored 50 points
![]() | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
Total points for each comp awarded (20+15+12+10+8+6+4+3+2+1) / number of entrants with 50.
So if all 40 score 50: 77 / 40 = 1.93 points each. Simples! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By:
If the scores were done how i posted earlier today then i could get the scores up to date with a bit of time n effort.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
That's kind of you, but it would be out of sync with how the scores have been settled until Richard moved home.
So if 2 finished joint-top in December they got 17.5 pts each, but now other people will get 20 for being in the same position? That's not fair, and common sense has to prevail if the scores of the leaders are close at the finish. So do we know what the situation with Richard is? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By:
I haven't got a clue about Richard, he never replied to any of my e-mails to both his addresses
![]() Here is how the scores were done in the 2009-2010 comp...... http://community.betfair.com/your_competitions/go/thread/view/94214/23775998/2009-2010-aw-competition +++++2009-2010 A/W Competition+++++ Week 1, Day 1 Pinstcker grabs the points on day one.......leaderboard as follows: PLAYER POINTS Pinstcker 20 Woz83 13.5 Balders 13.5 Infomaniac 10 Pollygone 8 Sir Potts 6 Missbossladysue 3.5 Mrs Reynard 3.5 Sageform 1 Arsene 1 Happy Gambler 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By:
Yes, that's correct, so 2nd and 3rd share the points (15 + 12 / 2). 7th and 8th have shared the points: 3.5 each, and the other 3 who finished in joint 10th receive 1 pt each.
My mistake earlier: the points awarded for each comp should add up to 81: 20 15 12 10 8 6 4 3 2 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Ok, i think i have figured this OpenOffice spreadsheet thing out.
This is a test result automated by the spreadsheet (first try)

Right, so all i have to do now is copy the 1st two columns (the daily results) and paste them into my spreadsheet and i get all the other columns filled in automatically.
So the next thing is to paste into the spreadsheet somewhere the last known scores for everyone and some how link it to the above so it gets updated each time i paste daily results into that automated function. I will have to look at that later this afternoon as i could be at hospital most of today. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
Ok i have another hour to spare before iam out for the morning.
What i am going to do is post in this thread each daily scores i have so we can all see what has and what hasn't been calculated (i am still not sure what daily results Kenco is on about )Each time i post one in here i will be adding it to a spreadsheet where i will (hopefully) end up with everyone's daily scores, ready for the final calculation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Right iam off, i will carry on with this later.
Look out for that friggin FAVBOT because that is making this harder and will be taking points off someone if i miss it and don't take it out of the scores.UNLESS it is counted ?????? ![]() | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
No, FAVBOT is not counted in the top 10 scores. So if favbot finishes 10th for example, the 11th finisher would still collect a point.
Kenco is correct, Week 14, Day 5 (11th Feb) scores, both parts 1 & 2, were not included in Richard's last update. (You can see that because the time of Richard's update is before Aviboyd's post for the final standings for part 1 that day). So in summary, Richard's last scores update, is up to and including Feb 10th. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

i will do a few more [;)]
Noticed the favbot up there, so amended spreadsheet....
