Btw mpeters, I'm pretty sure you're guaranteed a top 20 with that score.


I just like to keep my expectations reasonable ;). I do believe the top 20 could all be 7's. 2005 went down to #19 before hitting the sixes(and many of those would have been 7+ in any other challenge). More entries in 05 though...

Has anyone else's score taken a nose dive today? With 200+ votes, I wouldn't expect my score to fluctuate that much, but I have gone down by .1 today.

I'm still holding my breath, hoping to make it to the 50% mark.
My update button is like a "Go ahead, I dare ya' to wiggle in this quicksand" button.
I wiggle, I sink more, I keep clicking it though...

Indeed. As large as this challenge is, and as high as the scoring is, I think this is one where the scoring percentile will be more meaningful than thinking in terms of "Top 20" or "6 vs. 7". I'd like to be inside the 90th percentile - that's the "Top 70". ;-)

Hmm, I guess I didn't realize '05 had that many. Now that I look at those again that was an impressive collection, which begs the question was this year's crop better? I'm inclined to say no but I do need to go through them again.

Yeah, from what I've seen, last years crop of best of's was quite a bit better. my average vote for this bunch has been pretty sad and my page of voted images contains only a (fairly generous) handful at 8+. In 2005, my 10's were more than a page. as were my 9's and 8's was at two pages.

Of course I'm only 22% finished. Too many midterms.

5.8201 and still sliding.
01/16/2007 11:32:48 PM · #337
Phew!

Stats: You have rated 706 of 707 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 25 images (4%) in this challenge.

I'll probably go back and comment on a few more.

Not budging much on my own score. Hanging around 5.6.

I think this is the most steady scores I've ever seen in a challenge. I've gone between a 5.8 & 6.0 the whole time.

I'm with you Lighthouselady... I think people must be adjusting scores though as my score was 5.8201 with 241 votes and is now 5.8347 with 242.

Mmmmm.... That's strange, a few minutes ago I had 228 votes with an Avg Vote of 6.4823, now I'm reading 227 with an Avg Vote of 6.4802 .....
Anyone else noticed something like this?

Weird stuff!

Could it have anything to do with the fact that at the beginning of the voting there were 714 entries and now there are inly 707?

Just because an entrant may get dq'd, their votes should still count.

been up to a 5.84 and down to a 5.74 - pretty consistent guess I am getting mostly 6's and 5's - not bad I still need a better camera (my excuse) and some editing in CS lessons. I am getting my first lesson tomorrow.

Heh. In two days, I've garnered just 14 votes and gone from a 5.82 to 5.85xx nearly 5.86... I like this trend. Still within 0.2 for the whole duration of voting so far.

Finished voting myself on every entry, very few got under 5 from me, mostly 6,7,8 and a few 9's & 10's...there are some fantastic shots in there so I'm very happy to just get a little better than my average for mine :)

*One potential favorite, according to a great comment I received. They must've forgotten or something.
