Season 5 - Leaderboard

[Captain Blood]

Well done Ray. There's a blinking lot of maths goes into that 

The field is starting to stretch out a bit now... 

[matakishi]

Ooh get me, I'm famous
Sadly my winning streak is being brought to an end by the Prof so I don't see myself moving up the table anytime soon.

[Groove51]

Very consistent in 70th for the 3rd week running. 
And having a wonderful time.

That's the spirit!

Frank down to 22, is that possible?

[Remgain]

What the hell!! 38th...
Well... a lot of time available to climb to higher positions.

Ooh, the lack of bonus points smart... I guess I should paint up a few NEW entries and not showcase old hat, eh? =)

[Hammers]

The last two bonus round will make a lot of difference between those who enter them and those who don't. It looks so far like you can stay among the top ten based on # of votes and new entries each time but I can't see that happening through rounds 5 and definitely not through round 10.

If you feel the pace now it will get worse. I've had to 'drop out' of four LPLs so far so I know.

Awesome work Ray, thanks!

[valleyboy]

Thanks for all your efforts Ray and Capt Blood, it really must be a huge amount of work

I really enjoyed voting in the last LPL but this year I really am having a great time and so much more fun actually taking part.
To date I seem to have exceeded my expectations but am under no illusions and know that I won't be staying where I am now on the table. I'm astonished by the variety and talent that is on show here and its spurring me on to try my best. My entries for round 5-8 are just about finished, with 9 just started and 10 about half done

I've got the day off tomorrow and I'm hoping to get all but round 10 finished as I'm off to the UK next week (and Salute  ) and hopefully can complete round 10 in a jet lagged state when I return to NZ

Frank down to 22, is that possible?

He took a hit in voter points in Round 3.  Five points can make a big difference in this early stage.

Overall though, if you take LPL4 as a guide, Capitan Blood won with 1 loss.  So the league is still wide open.

[smug] I know. I was the one who beat him. [smug]

[Andym]

I don't know if that's fate or its karma, but I'm equal with brother!!

[Calimero]

18th…

I fear it will only go down from this point…

Just as an aside regarding computing the Leaderboard...

Now, each competitor has his own "account" which is set up for the entire league.  The first thing I do is "grey out" previous work, leaving only the data that I need for my computations.  I then fill in the bonus points based on a summary of the current round from Captain Blood.

Once the voting is finished I then start filling in the worksheet and doing the calculations.

This is what Hammers account looks like at the end of round 3:

Now initially the plan was to copy the final line of each individual's score onto a leaderboard spreed sheet.  But it didn't work!   

I discovered that when I used the spreed sheet to automatically add/subtract numbers, it refused to be copied.  So I then did all the calculations with my brand new shiny calculator and manually inputed the data.  Done so, I found I could then copy the final leaderboard line and paste it on a separate leaderboard worksheet.

Here is a shot of Hammers account, annotated with a small red lines to indicate the calculations required after each round.  Eleven!  Multiply that by 72 and...
