I would like to see how a point’s chase would work here like in NASCAR and other racing events. Award points to the photographer by there finishing spot in each challenge. I would like to do a test run to see how it would work.

I need 25 users to volunteer for this study. I will go back to the first challenge of the year to the current challenge and award points based on your finish in each challenge. I’m sorry I can only do 25 at this time. If it works like I hope maybe DPChallenge can do this and put in our stats on our profile page and maybe award the winner each year with a FREE membership.

Here is how the points will break down.
1st: 10 points
2nd: 9 points
3rd: 8 points
4th: 7 points
5th: 6 points
6-10th: 5 points
11-25th: 4 points
26-50th: 3 points
51-100th: 2 points
100 +: 1 point
Did not enter: 0 Points
DQ’ed: (-1 Points)

If you would like to participate (first 25) post yes and I will start the stats and have them current in a few days.

Sure, I'll volunteer. Might be interesting.
One possible problem comes to mind if this were a "real" site feature, is people entering anything in a challenge just to get their one 'point' instead of a DNE. Although, I must admit, there are probably quite a few that enter 'anything' anyway these days, just to have an update button, or just obsessive habit, or whatever :-)

:-) I can be your token mediocre, middle of the pack, lacking a strong sponsor driver for this test :-P

I'd probably get last place, but I'm down!
10/15/2005 02:45:26 AM · #9
I would be interested to see how I went. I suppose you mean member challenges.

Any Challenge, Open or Members.

Non members would be at a bit of a disadvantage with only one challenge per week?

that is a good point, not to mention extra points for the occasional free study, speed challenge etc.

maybe open/member classes, like the Nextel cup/Busch series?

This would give them incentive to become members, imo.

Sign me up Scotty, I'll be the PJ Jones of DPCNation.

Edit
On second thought I've only started in August and been in four challenges. You should only put me in if you can't get 25 (which I'm sure you can), I'd only be taking up space that could be used by someone who could place.

I'll keep my rookie status until next year.

yes, please.

I'll come in second last, but give it a shot anyway.

later: Well, it looks like I get about 72 points so far...

Having joined only in July perhaps I'm at a disadvantage - unless the start date is later - but count me in anyway. I think it is a great idea.
10/15/2005 09:06:39 AM · #17
If you have room put me in for coming last!
