But I would like to change that so I would like to suggest the following side tournament(To get myself back to participating).
A limited number of teams of 2 would be chosen by the highest combined score in the starting tournament.
The teams selected would then compete every two weeks in the weekly member challenges.
Scoring would be as follows the competitor with the highest score of competitors in the F DPC challenge earns 10 points, 2nd highest earns 8 points, 3rd earns 6 points, 4th earns 5 points, 5th earns 4 points, 6th earns 3 points, 7th earns 2 points and 8th earns 1 point.
The member challenges in the odd weeks would be used as qualifiers where members of the teams could earn advantages on the other competitors in the challenge, this would of course only apply to the resolution of the side challenge the member challenge would be unaffected.
The advantage would be as follows 1st earns 1,0 on other competitors, 2nd 0,9, 3rd 0,8 etc. to an advantage of 0. bonuses would cancel each other out.
I would like to know if there is interest in such a side tournament and if so how many teams should be allowed and how many rounds should there be. Should the tournament be split into divisions?

edit note these changes to the rules.
Someone suggested that the previous scoring round should determine the advantage for the next round I think this is better so that is how it will be. Firstly because it will shorten the competition. I also think it would not be fun to score well in the advantage round but not the scoring round.
I would also like to adjust the scoring.
20 points for 1st place,
16 for 2nd,
14 for 3rd,
12 for 4th,
10 for 5th,
8 for 6th,
6 for 7th,
4 for 8th,
2 for 9th
After 9th place anyone with a valid entry earns a point all else get zero. |
Is the highest team decided by the highest score on the team, or the average score for the team? In other words, if Lutchenko gets a 7.2 and I get a 5.2, is our team score 7.2 or 6.2? |

Actually the Team score only matters in the initial competition where teams are split into divisions.
After that you score individual points summed up for the team.
in your case Lutchenko would bring his score of 7.2 which is then compared to others. You would bring your 5.2 and that would be compared to others. You would then score points based on your position say Lutchenko has the highest score in the competition he earsn 20 points, You have the 13th highest score you earn 1 point so your team has earned 21 points this round and Lutchenko now has a 1.0 lead on others the next round. However if this was the initial competition yous scores would be combined into 12.4 to determine your placement in the divisions.

Ok, I'm not much into team sports, so I'm a bit confused on how the scoring works....
Our rules state:
Scoring would be as follows the competitor with the highest score of competitors in the F DPC challenge earns 10 points, 2nd highest earns 8 points, 3rd earns 6 points, 4th earns 5 points, 5th earns 4 points, 6th earns 3 points, 7th earns 2 points and 8th earns 1 point.
The member challenges in the odd weeks would be used as qualifiers where members of the teams could earn advantages on the other competitors in the challenge, this would of course only apply to the resolution of the side challenge the member challenge would be unaffected.
The advantage would be as follows 1st earns 1,0 on other competitors, 2nd 0,9, 3rd 0,8 etc. to an advantage of 0. bonuses would cancel each other out.
1. Are we still doing every other week or every week?
2. Please explain advantages--I'm completely lost. what does 0,9 0,8 mean? What bonuses? and what happens if someone doesn't compete in the off week?
thanks! |

Wendy, I think part of your confusion is that some countries use a comma, not a period, to deliniate whole numbers from portions thereof.
For example:
American: 0.9
Icelandic: 0,9 |

To shorten the whole thing we compete every week and determine bonuses each week.
Lydia is dead on though I have tryed my best to use the point as the decimal seperator but I seem to have failed somewhat :)
Note
the following changes were made to the rules

The scoring round does.
ex.
If you are at the top in your division you gain 20 points and 1.0 bonus on others.
should you be in second place you get 16 points and earn a 0,9 bonus.
And so on.

I'm so sorry to be stupid -- but I'm tired (and my husband says that I should wait until morning instead of proving that I'm stupid...)
Doesn't that just mean that you get 21 points for 1st, 16.9 points for 2nd, and so on? Or do the bonus points work in another way?

I think the bonus points you earn are added to your average score (DPC votes) in the next race. You have to think about the car race analogy: if you do well during qualification, you have an advantage in the actual race (pole position). |

whoa! a full point? Doesn't that make it virtually impossible to beat them the next round, unless they do pitifully poorly? If this was the start, and Lutchenko wins with 6.5, he now has afull point on me in the next round? Even if I get a 6.3 next time, he can get a 5.4 and he still wins. (I know we're on the same team, but pretend we're not for a minute...)
I understand the bonuses, but he already has 20 points and I have nothing. A full point is virtually impossible to get past unless the photographer is extremely inconsistent. |

But the second place gets 0,9 so that is basically an advantage of .1 on second place and .2 on third and so on. and bonuses go way down to 10th place so it should not be too hard, I hope.

that's true--we are split into divisions, so that makes it a little easier to get a bonus. BTW, I'm too lazy to look back through the thread. How many teams are going to be in a division?
Also, are teams in this throughout the competition? Or do teams get dropped along the way?

9 teams in top and second division and 10 in third.
I planned on teams beining in their respective divisoins throughout the season.
If this becomes a regular thing, I might have to find ways of moving teams up or down divisions.

In this thread the rules have been explained, but here I will accept registration of Teams. This will be a short season 5 scoring rounds and will be split into 2 divisions of 10 assuming enough teams enter. Should there be massive interest I reserve the right to add further divisions or not. Also to save time I will mix the initial qualifying round with the first advantage round.
.....

From the pilot registration thread there will be 5 scoring rounds.
