Okay, maths isn't my strong point so please check this looks right!
If you think I've shortchanged you somehow, please ask me via pm - I have the spreadsheets to support the calculations!
(Spreadsheets! I'm learning lots of new things here lol)
Clearly at this stage of the game, the only thing really separating the top 20 is points difference!
All still to play for. Pip Pip! ;)

We trust you Captain. But just to be sure where is the scoring criteria?
:D :D

All I can say is I'm glad you are doing it and not me ;)
By the way that's a mighty fine looking table there :D

:D :D
Aha! Good question. The scoring criteria are in the 'LPL rules' topic, but for ease I reproduce them below ;)
Depending on the number of votes cast, participants receive League Points.
If the difference between votes is Five or less, the match is considered a "Draw" and both participants receive 20 points.
If the difference between votes is Six or more, the participant who received more votes is considered the "Winner" and receives 30 points, whereas his opponent, the "Loser" receives 10 points.
In addition, participants receive "bonus points" depending on the number of votes cast. For this, the number of votes received by the participant is divided by 10, the result being the number of "bonus points" the participant receives, ranging from 0 (9 votes or less) to a maximum of 5 (50 votes or more).
Plus 'super bonus' points for the themed rounds, obviously.
Plus, from round 2 onwards, bonus points for entering a new (i.e. new to the competition and also previously unpublished) team.
Hope that's all clear...
-
No Wonder you need a spreadsheet to work it all out lol
-
All seems clear to me apart from the last column. I thought this was just how many votes each competitor received but there are some with a minus so it can't be that. ??? (Not a big issue - just curious.)
And I was wondering about the "New Team" bonus for round 10.
If a participant fields both five Explorers AND five "Primitives" and neither have been seen before do they receive 10 "new" bonus points or 20? Or, in order to receive a "new" bonus of 10 does the competitor need to submit two groups of the required five?
-
It's votes difference, Orctrader, like goal difference in football: Votes for minus votes against.
My understanding of the bonus situation is that the new team bonus is unconnected to the bonus points for fitting the theme. So you get the points for the various explorers and primitives, and the new team bonus goes on top of that if nothing in your team has been shown before. But I may be wrong.

Thanks :) (I think. I don't watch sport because I'd rather read or paint. What the hell is "Goal Aggregate" anyway? - I have heard this mentioned on the News, that last bit when they insist on talking Sport. And does anyone care? lol lol lol )
-
In some competitions a fixture is decided by two matches, one home and one away. The total score over the two matches is the aggregate. So if you lost 1-0 away but won 4-2 at home the aggregate score would be 4-3 to you and you would be triumphant and victorious. Hurrah!
-
................. insist on talking Sport. And does anyone care? lol lol lol )
Yes lol lol lol

Clear - Apart from...Let me explain by example - and I am only talking about Round 10 as the question does not apply in any other round.
Competitor "A" One team of Space Marines - "new". No Theme points but 10 for being new.
Competitor "B" 5 Primitives, five explorers Big Dino all "new" Maximum theme points plus how many for "new?"
Competitor "C" 5 Primitives, five explorers Big Dino - five primitives "new" but explorers posted on the Web before. Maximum theme points plus how many for "new?"
The point of my question? If the same number of "new" bonus points are awarded to both competitors "B" & "C"
why not field the explorers in an earlier round to maximize "new" bonus points?
Nothing too serious here - just my curiosity. And now I understand Goal Aggregate too! ;)
-
B is all new so he gets the bonus. There is only one New Team Bonus for the team as a whole. The various theme aspects aren't considered separately for purposes of the new team bonus. As I already said, the new team bonus is entirely unconnected to the theme.
C gets no new team bonus, so he won't be maximising his bonus points by earlier posting of the explorers in another round. The explorers have been seen before so it doesn't count as a new team. He simply gets the theme bonuses.

Mmm. Still not sure myself. :?
So how about Competitor "D"
Enters "new" team primitives in round 8. Enters "new" team explorers in round 9. Now has gained 20 "new" bonus points. Puts both into round 10 along with Big Dino for maximum theme points but no "new" bonus.
And competitor "E" Ran out of time and enters five primitives and one big dino in round 10. Although not maximizing Theme points they still get "new" don't they? Or is it a requirement to achieve the "new" bonus points there has to be 10 figures?
(I know this is not a big issue but now my curiosity is roused... ;) )
-

not really. Also the theme bonus teams have to be newly painted. If not, no bonus for C.
-
Ah yes, that rule is tucked away in the Season 2 thread. Took me a while to find it. I stand corrected. Thanks for clearing that up. :)
That changes things a bit for me. I was going to enter some of my old Lost World stuff for the theme bonus (and not worrying about the 'new' bonus), as I have zero interest in ever painting any more of that kind of thing. As I won't even be getting that I may as well just paint something I want to paint instead. Have to think of something for my grand finale now!

Very glad I raised this now as I didn't realize.

Gentlemen, may I suggest that the LPL HQ Command collects all those "hidden" rules and clarifications under the main LPL-Rules topic? This discussion is currently under the Leaderboard-thread, and may be missed by some participants. Same is true for rules addenda in season 2.
I don't want to burden you with additional work, but simply think that it might help to get rid of repeating rules discussions.
:)
-
I second the Admiral as it is stating to be very complicated to understand anything at what is happening. It would be good to have one post called "rules of the league" with only the rules, not open to discussion and that may eventually be modified when some special cases are raised. This being said, I first thought this was a fun competition and instead of that I see more and more rules arguing here and there. Kind of boring.

D’oh! :o
I was at 23, now I’m down to 35! :'(
lol
-
Well you're winning your current match, so you'll soon be rocketing back up the table... ;)
-
I've got a funny feeling I am at the high point of my league participation this year, I am severely loosing my match.
Well done Captain, league is going very well. Did I miss your entry?
-
Well done Captain, league is going very well. Did I miss your entry?
My guess is that the Captain stepped aside to allow Pulper's entry.
-
Aha! Down to 36, and being completely demolished for a third time! Last place will be mine yet!
-
Eep, going down :D Let's see, if I drop 12 places each round I should end up... 117th? :D :D
-
Well, I lost round 2 to Dodge (well done, Dodge!) and yet I seem to have moved up from 20th to 18th. I shall just have to keep losing!! :)
-
Last place is mine, all mine! (That's what ordering your Germans late will do for you!)
I'm going to keep thinking that LPL is scored like rummy, lowest score is the winner! lol
Actually, I appear to be winning my round 3 matchup so far, so I might have to surrender the coveted last place to someone else...
-
Well I can't see it ever getting this good for me again, so I'd better celebrate now, while I still can...
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/Plynkes/gazza-squirt-400x300.jpg)
Say, I think everyone's just about had enough of the old LPL for this year, haven't they? It's been good fun but I think we're all kind of tired of it. What say we just knock it on the head now with the standings as they are. What do you think, lasses and lads?
Yeah? ;)
-
Grimm has proven he is a solid finisher, but Plynkes, you're kicking butt, mate.
Keep the faith... there is going to be a great finish to this, already, awesome league.
-
Plynkes
Suits me fine ;)
Third equal is about 44 places better than I thought I would get and I have a feeling I am going to keep on going down the way.
So great competition, thanks for all the lovely pictures, see you all next year. Thank gods its finished I am knackered. ;)
lol lol lol

All,
Just to confirm the scoring criteria, it's
30 points for a win
20 points for a draw (where the match result is within 6 or less votes)
10 points for a loss
Plus
1 point for every 10 votes gained in a round to a maximum of 5 points
Plus
10 points for entering a newly painted team, or a team which has never before been pictured online.
Plus
Any extra 'theme' bonus for rounds 1, 5 and 10.
Please double-check your own score after 2 rounds to make sure I've allotted points correctly - in particular in respect of the 10 bonus points for a 'new' team. Most people have made a point of telling me with their entries whether their teams for rounds 2 (and 3) are genuinely 'new' entries.
A few people have not.
I've made the assumption that all replacement teams are new, unless you have advised me to the contrary when submitting your team.
So do please check that I haven't credited you with points which you're not entitled to. Let me know by PM if any adjustment is needed.
Just so we're clear, if your team has wholly or partially been pictured here or elsewhere on line before, it cannot be counted as a 'new' entry and does not qualify for the 10 bonus points.
Would be really helpful if all contestants could make a point of letting me know with each new team whether it is 'new' or has been shown before.
Thanks :)
-
I really hate to be the one to mention this, because I am going to look real dumb. All of the leaders in round 1 have 45 points. But according to your post I get 55 points:
30 (win) + 5 (votes) + 10 (new) + 10 (german theme) = 55 ??
What did I misunderstand?
-
No new bonus for rd. 1 I think? Sure I read it somewhere
-
As it says in the post that explains the calculations:
Plus 'super bonus' points for the themed rounds, obviously.
Plus, from round 2 onwards, bonus points for entering a new (i.e. new to the competition and also previously unpublished) team.
Hope that's all clear...
So the first entry does not give you points for being new.
-
Yep. What they said.
All entries in round one are de facto 'new' in the competition - so no bonus.
The bonus from round 2 onwards is designed to encourage people to enter new teams in each round. But the 'new' bonus is qualified by the fact that the entry is supposed to be new. As opposed to something that has already been seen.
Simple as that really... ;)
-
2 + 2 = 3 right? ;D
As you can see I’m really not good at math but I find that "kind of useful" to know were we are ranking in the competition. It look to me like it’s a lot of work to put together this kind of things and all that "follow-up stuff" afterward (like these leaderboards). I couldn’t care less if I was the first one or the last one, I just enjoy seeing so much pictures of painted figures in all those different styles. :-*
-
Thanks for the quick answers everyone!!! See told ya I was thick :D
@Captain Blood: In that case, all my points look correct!
-
Some Great! stuff out there in the compitition, pheww! it's only round three :o, I don't know about the others but what does one do for the later rounds! lol, I remember years ago painting was no where near this level and there was always room to improve but some of the stuff I see is just so perfect and the room for improvement has become so small! I love veiwing the different styles and techniques used, its a learning experiance you don't often get, that is the "Real Prize" in this compitition! and we ALL win it!!! Its also interesting to note the number of times some of the matches have been viewed! Shows how popular this has become! Hat's off to you all!

PS, "BLACK text to save your eyeballs, I get the message! ::)
-
Not to be a pain (which statement assures that I'm about to be a pain), but I don't think the new rules apply to any of the bonus rounds, or such was my understanding in Season 2. Thus, for example, if I submit a new, never-before-seen team for Round 5, but it's not a mounted team (mounted, being the bonus theme in Round 5), then I don't earn the new-team bonus points. According to my memory of Season 2, bonus rounds exist under a completely different set of rules.
-
I didn't took part in LPL 2 so I can't say how it was handled,but the Prof's official rules summery says for bonus rounds you get x matchpoints and the usual 10 points for entering a new team.
-
I'm at a distinct disadvantage in this competition, I can't even add up a darts score lol
-
Well I can't see it ever getting this good for me again, so I'd better celebrate now, while I still can...

Nope - you get a new team bonus for any rounds after round one in which you enter a new team.
The theme bonus points are awarded (or not) on top of this, if the entry meets the theme.
-
Its also interesting to note the number of times some of the matches have been viewed! Shows how popular this has become!
Not to rain on the parade, but some of those viewing totals may be inflated by the participants obsessively checking their vote totals... ::)

Or, what I do, go back often to look at the many great entries long after I have voted. Some, I even save on my PC for inspiration.
-
… or even simply looking for new questions and comments ;)
-
Yes Im sure that people go and check the totals all the time, I do several times lol but even taking that into consideration there are A LOT of people going back to do it, that was my point, is like watching a close horse race! :o I have not done one of these before and had no idea how it all worked or how intense it could become! I may have to bow out as I dont think I can keep painting up! I "wargame" and as such have many other projects to work on (such as a 4'x8' layout of the Legations for the Boxer rebellion in 25-28mm, a new gladiator arena, and a 4'x8' "Final Days Berlin 1945" for 20mm) but who knows this LPL is very addicting! :-* and it took 6 years to collect all the buildings for "Berlin" the Reichstag, Reichschancellery, Brandenburg gate, and 20 or so other 20mm buildings :o I guess it can wait a bit longer to get worked on! I think the biggest "problem" with the LPL is it makes me want to by and paint all those great minis I see put up!
-
I'm not sure it's really possible to "bow out", as in drop out of the race. Instead, your last entry will simply continue to be shown in each continuing round.
And anyway, if you have a lot of minis already painted, simply submit them in each new round. You won't earn the "new team" bonus points, but you might still do pretty darn well. In last season's LPL about half of my entries were newly painted, while the other half were things I'd painted some time ago.
-
Somehow I think forcing a competitor to remain in the league fails the "it's all for fun" test.
As for the pace, I'm pretty certain I will have to roll over at least one and maybe two rounds to make it to Round 10... 'cause I really want to paint my giant chicken. :D
-
I understand, the you last entry stands and it should. You need the compeitor count even to make the matches line up. By "Bow out" I just ment fewer or no new entry's lol.
-
And the field is starting to spread out... ;)

Still dropping, ah well, at least I entered a new team in every round but the first 8)
-
Eep, going down :D Let's see, if I drop 12 places each round I should end up... 117th? :D :D
Ah, improvement - this time I only dropped ten positions... :D
Pil - same here!
-
Still dropping, ah well, at least I entered a new team in every round but the first 8)
Happening to me too mate,
each time I enter a team I think is better than the last (except rnd 3) I thnk that should make a show of it I meet someone who has done the same :D
Still its great fun and is getting me painting and I think improving, that can only be a good thing ;D
chin up :D
dodge
-
God dropped 11 places from third equal to 14th. :o
Well at least I am not 13th unlucky for some ;)
I think I am improving as well but the shame is "So is everyone else" :'(
-
Yep,
Folks are definately upping their game.
Some marvelous entries and a weekly store of "eye candy" of every sort!
:-*
-
Woohoo, first win :P
And my bugs have a 2nd chance this round. If only the opposition wasn't soo good looking (eruh.. or maybe that should be evil looking).
But now I'm also a bit fed up painting Bugs. The two rounds of them totaled 33 models , so I'll take a (well deserved) rest and nicely do "only" five models the next two or three rounds before going back into full scale production.
-
I'm enjoying this quite a lot and its helping me plough through a good chunk of my grey army. Though I'm stalling at the moment with the Mounted unit for next round. I may change and paint a different unit. I seem to have painters block with the mounted unit, its half done and its been like that for a week now.

I know what you mean - I've been having to force myself to paint my mounted chaps and it has been hard going! I'd better get them finished this week, though! :)

Here are the updated league standings after 4 rounds...
Please check your points and let me know if you think I've got anything wrong.
In rounds 6 - 10, whilst I will make the draw randomly as usual, I will do a small amount of matchmaking to try to make sure that the painters at the top of the table get to compete against each other...

Hey, I dropped up by mistake :D
Ah well, not complaining - although I am feeling a trifle dizzy.

oh no. lost by one vote!! As a true gent, I never vote for my own entry :? it was a great thrill though to see the voting during the week. :?

Rapscallion, it was a draw! Have a look at our points, they are correct for a draw. Only the numbers for "Win/Draw/Lost" are not correct, but will be corrected very soon. The Captain is informed!
Congrats, by the way, it was a cool match!
:D
-
Fixed.
Sorry about that ;)
-
Yes it was a draw-hurrah!! It was a very pleasurable contest Admiral and the best of luck in your future duels!! Rapscallion.

Half way through and it's tight amongst the leading pack, and a good field strung out not very far behind them... :)

Woof, that was quite a drop.
I agree, it would have been way nicer to still have you up there, resulting in less possibility for me to meet you ;)
Ah well... Game on!

Never even noticed you had this up already, good work Captain.
God I wish I hadn't noticed.
Going Down.......

I'm liking the LPL but between painting, gaming, work and family I can't get the pictures done! :'( It would be nice if the Deadline was on Sunday PST so us west coasters could have a bit more weekend time to complete it. Of course this would probably push the start of voting to late monday or Tuesday. ::)
-
In fact, an extra week for round 10 would sure be nice... ::)
Big creatures from lost worlds take a lot of time... :P

Since I already managed to finish mine, I don't ;D
But I don't mind if you guys don't add a big beastie, I'd get a bit nearer in points :)
-

I totally agree with this sentiment (although I'm not suggesting that the timing actually be changed). Of course once we send in our entries on Friday night or Saturday morning, we then have weekend time to get started on the next entry. For me, however, whenever I send in an entry I just want to breath a huge sigh of relief, drink a beer (or four), and NOT look at paints or miniatures for at least 24 hours. That 24 hours and four beers is why I generally enter a new team every other week. On Monday I suddenly realize that I have only five nights available in which to paint before the next team is due!

I hope you'll understand that Richard (Capt.Blood) has to manage about 50 (!!) entries. I've had in the season 1 and 2 about 30-40 entries and it was a huge lot of work. It's hard, believe me. Richard has to paint his LPL teams, he spends his own time managing the League and he has a job and a private life outside of LAF too. How Mancha said, you have weeekend time to get started your next team.

If it's any consolation, I'm on the other side of the pond and I have to get my pictures done every thursday because the next friday at work is my last internet access before the weekend. Of course that does give me the weekend afterwards to work on my next entry, which occasionally actually happens ;)
Today I still have to assemble, paint and photograph my models (depending on which entry I decide on in the end) so I might quit working early today ;)
Even with the league bearing down on me I still can't force myself to paint models which I don't feel like painting at the moment 8)

If you can assemble, paint and photograph five miniatures in one day, and are only 13 points below me, I'm slitting my wrists. :(

That's odd - I posted it yesterday morning... It seems to have disappeared ???
I'll post it again this evening when I get home...

Probably those Yakuza chappies. The Captain might be receiving a ransom note soon... ;)

Guess it always pays to stop and make sure your posts have actually taken place before exiting!
Sorry about the delay... Here - for the second time of trying - is the leaderboard after 7 rounds :)
Orctrader now has his nose in front, but all still to play for...

Yes, just checking, it's definitely there this time... ;)

Well done captain. You are doing a grand job. The finish line is almost in sight.

Here's the leaderboard after 8 rounds...

Dunno...
But this is looking like an Orctrader vs Grimm deathmatch in Round 10 for the Championship...
Yikes! Throw Tsar into the mix and we got us a real showdown for the finale!
Should be really interesting!
Am anxiously expecting inspired entries from all involved... ;)

The table after 9 rounds...
Any one of three can claim the title in the final round...

Success! My votes difference is over a thousand!
(Swell, gloat)

Wow! I actually went down 2 places after winning the last round. That I didn't expect :D

Just goes to show what a difference the 10 bonus points for a new team bonus make...
If you'd managed a new team for Round 9, instead of going down from 17th to 19th, you'd have gone up from 17th to 9th!
(There again, your new team might not have won, so who knows?) :D
-
Holy crap! That shows how close we're all together. And I think I deserve to have dropped two places if I choose not to paint new stuff :)
-
For a few minutes I say to myself,
"hey, the victory is possible..."
And then, I saw my adversary for the last round was Admiral Benbow, and I say to myself "oh-oh, it'll be very difficult"
I show the match to my wife and she say "you're dead" lol
Now the only think I hope, is stayng on the podium :D

I think everyone I managed to beat is above me in rankings.

I'm in a good place right now. But so many people did the painting for the bonus points this round that I'm going to sink down to the bottom third. Oh well, there was never any way I was going to paint ten miniatures for one round, and the five pygmies I found turned out to be less than motivating when I pulled them out of the blisters. I had a good time though, and managed to paint some varied teams. And while I'm happy for the break from painting for a while, I'm already looking forward to the next LPL. Congrats everyone.

ten miniatures
Eleven, to be a pedant and add to your troubles - five explorers, five natives, one big critter. ;)
I guess the bonus points from a full Round 10 entry, all new, will push me up a few notches, but given that I spend the first two rounds occupying the very, very bottom of the ranking, anything up from there is an improvement!
And of course I finally get a really, really good set of photos coaxed out of my camera - just in time for the whole show to draw to an end... >:(
Still, looking forward to the next time, it's been a blast and an inspiration, and it's definitely make me a bolder painter - I'm exercising those Reaper triads I bought last year the way they're supposed to be used, doing more blending, and painting in more shades & highlights that I used to ignore, to the overall improvement of my painting!

I think that the figures you painted did show improvement during the LPL… not they where bad to start with mind you lol
