Structor if you want out, I will take you out of the FSM but I wish you would stay as I feel you may have the FSM improvement. points confused. Users will not receive these each month, they will only receive this one time and it will adjust (up or down) based on their FSM average vs. their Overall avg (on Jan. 1).

This month a users improvement score may be 100 and next month it could drop or go up. All based on how well you improve over your DPC overall average.

Another way to look at it is like this.
1. Users have a chance to earn from "0 to 180" points each month for 12 months based on their FS scores. That means they could theoretically early 180x12=2160 points for the year.

2. The most a user can receive in "FSM Improvement Points" for the full year is 180, thats all!

So as you see, in January it may look like a big thing but as the months go on it will count, but not as much because the FSM points will be 12x the FSM Improvement points.

Hope this explains things.

There seems to be a problem with my script and the importation in to excel. Several errors have been observed by users and brought to my attention. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but I will have it all sorted out in a few days. January was personally a very busy month and I got behind. I didn't get a chance to test the script with excel.

Please bear with me as I get the FSM points corrected. It should only take a few days. If anyone else finds a problem please let me know.

Thanks,
SDW

Oh yeah, I noticed that too... I had 5.17 with 100 super-bonus, it becomes 6.17 plus "you don't live in Iceland so we'll give you another 50 points" point, takes me about 6.87... also "first timer" bonus (that's besides the super bonus) 125 points... uhm, it makes around 7.00

Now, I have 7.00 in every field, and that is the most in there... I should be #1, please fix the excel sheet so everyone could see what I mean here

LOL... and if any of you make sense out of this, you should be kicked out automatically

I think Scott has probably taken the link down since there is a problem with the script. (See earlier post)

Be patient folks! I'm sure Scott will get it back up as soon as he can.
