Yea, even though you have more I-points than Tychoit doesn't make up the difference in points he has earned over the seven months. Both of you are still very close as I-points will change each month based on FSM Avg vs. DPC Avg (1/1/08).

Is it possible to highlight lines so we could follow them easily... Things are pretty much mixed up without lines now :P

am I complaining too much?

Yup, I have to agree its a little confusing but luckily I climbed a couple of places so its not too dificult for me this month :)

Its getting a little busy right behind me now and Marac heads the charge just 1.5 points behind!

Nice one Scott thanks for your work.... nice to see I have climbed into 4th.

Line have been highlighted for easier viewing.

Any input is welcome. If you see anything that you think would make the FSM better just drop me a PM. If their is a way to do it I will try.

Thanks to all participants for making this a fun side tournament.

thanks scott. easier to read this way. btw I think there is a bug with "latest rank". I think it's may rank or something, not June.

Damn! And I had so wanted to keep you under me (devilish smile). I hoped for a score like yours and was surprised I only pulled a 5.9. Lucky I stayed at 20. Maybe August.

I'm up 13 places, not sure if that is a lucky jump or just a miracle!!!!!

Thanks for all your work on this Scott, it's really appreciated.

Looks great Scott, glad to see you got it all worked out!
2 things.
1) Where did the old months go, I wanted to see my results from past months but I can't find any links.
2) Can you explain the improvement points again.
I was looking at scarbrd's averages vs. my averages and I can't figure why my improvement points are so low.
      FSM average    overall average(current)  improvement   improvements points

scarbrd 6.11 6.05 .06 72
jdannels 6.25 6.13 .12 35


I can't see how he has so many more "i" points than I do. I realize most likely both of our averages were lower at the beginning of the year but not by that much. Just looking for a little clarification on how this part works. Thanks for explaining it to me. :)

Each month the photographers FSM average is compared to their DPC average and photographers are ranked from most improved to leased improved.

But my average is improved +.12 and scarbrd's is only improved only .06 and he has more "i" points than I do? What am I missing? Sorry to be a PitA, I really love this side challenge and just want to understand. :)

What dpc avg are you looking at? your dpc avg now or what it was on Jan 1st, 2008.
Let me know because if theirs a problem with calculations I need to fix it. I will go back and look as well.

With cr*ppy weather and a busy family I have no entry this month - that will drop me well out of the top 10. Being up in 2nd place is now only a distant memory ... or was that giddy height just a dream?
