On this page, The top 50 users with the highest average received, it shows backdoorhippie as #1 with an average received vote of 7.000. But if you look at his profile page his actual average received vote is 5.7324.

I checked all the others and some are off by a point but none off by as much as this one.

That's a big difference. My profile page has my average about 0.0002 higher than it actually is, and my total votes received total lower than actual. I know this because I keep a spreadsheet, and I have gone through every entry and compared my numbers to each individual challenge. Those numbers match, but the totals are incorrect.

I believe that different stats are updated at different times of the week, not continuously, so that some stats will reflect more recent results than others.

My totals have been off for a long, long time. It's no big deal. I have my spreadsheet.

The backdoorhippie thing is weird, though.

Maybe he has a killer entry about to blue ribbon with and 8.5? Not yet recorded?

It's an intelligent algorithm that ignores the votes of those who have no idea what they're doing. :)

I wouldn't worry about it.

If I had to guess it would seem that, after only 5 challenges, I have about a 7.0 average from people who left comments ... all 8 of them.

If it worked that way, my scores would be much, much lower...

Well it seems backdoorhippie has been ousted by ezgumpeljones.......the Top Scorers page says he has an average received score of 9.000 but his profile page says 5.1247

On a side note, it appears that the overall average on your profile page is almost a live update again. It was a long time ago, but at some point became (almost) accurate as of the end of your last completed challenge.
