Team Member Scores - Each week, there are two challenges - member (Sunday) and open (Tuesday), to which all (DPC member) team members can enter either or both. So, it is possible for a full team of 7 members to have 14 entries for that week. From these scores, each member will have one best score for the week, and the top 4 scores (from 4 different members) will be averaged for the TEAM'S score for that week. So, for example, if one team member gets a 6.0 in the member challenge, and a 5.8 in the open, ONLY his 6.0 would count. The 4 best scores from the best 4 team members are averaged together to make the Team Score for that week. If only 3 members enter challenges that week, even if they enter both, the team will only have 3 best scores. The average used is based on 4, so that team would have a 0 as their 4th score.
All this means is that site members can *ENTER* both the open and the member challenges.. as usual. However, only the best 4 scores from 4 separate team members will count. |
Much better, but I think I got bad info in the forums. I had only looked the FAQ once or twice and there wasn't a Scoring FAQ yet. |

However, I do think it needs to be re-worded to make it clearer. |

Hey.. don't look at me, I'm not in charge of these things ;)
but I think you're on the right track. All depends on if SC or Langdon decide it needs a change. |

No. |
That sucks. This changes things. |
Definitely. We evidently misunderstood :( |

| I'd really like it if it could be changed, personally. Doesn't really matter... but I can't help but wonder if people are going to get confused, after the "late rollover" issue fades from memory / new people coming in, etc. |

DPC needs international text alerts for this sort of thing.
I turn up to work to find this situation and relaise if I'd taken my camera with me as I left the house I could reshoot my very average "pure" entry now that we have a lovely day. At least voting on it will be one day less - won't it? |
