   Hey! nice header for the Leaderboard this week....hehe...thanks Ray...it is a great honor!

Man...things are still moving around a lot on this board...its great...keeping us on our toes!  I fear I may be sticking my nose into areas where it does not belong!

Cheers,

Wow, We stop at Round 5 right?  No?    Well I'll enjoy it while I can, because Dr.M is spanking me this round, so I'll soon be dropping.
Have to admit I am glued to these leaderboards changing, watching the movement back and forth of the positions, like some kind of horse race. Fun stuff

[elysium64]

Well I was spanked by Dr. Mathias last round and dropped 11 places.

I'll be on my way down too as well after getting a good beating from Abu, just like last year only a round later

[Bugsda]

Ha! I'm numero uno 

For this week anyway 

[Ray Rivers]

And then there was one...

I'm not sure if Dr. Mathias will be beaten this league, his entries are exceptional! 

I managed to climb to 15th place but I don't think I will stay there for long. Well done everyone!

Lots of top dogs battling it out, this round!  And lots of tough choices with excellently painted minis!  So, inspiring, I'm going to paint some more right now...!

Is there an explanation somewhere of what the sections mean and how the Total is calculated?
This is the first time I've done the challenge and have to admit to being a bit clueless about the tally process

I gather that votes + is how many total votes a person has for all the rounds so far,
votes - are the total votes the person didn't get
and difference is well the difference 

But how does it become 'votes points'?

Trying to figure it out, to compare:
Just looking at the ones that have the full 60 bonus so far,
I have 5 wins, 1 loss, same as Valleyboy and we both have 1820 votes.
In votes didn't get mine is 750, his is 758, so looks like I have a slight better vote result, but my votes points is 109 and his 117. 

is there something else in votes points I'm missing? Looks like we have about the same stats, mine a bit better but my total is lower for some reason.

Similarly, Valleyboy has the same win ratio as captainblood, but has a higher vote+ a lower vote -, so higher vote difference but is 1 point below captainblood. All the stats look like he would be higher, but he's lower, and I'm not sure I'm understanding how it's done.

I know I must be missing a piece of the equation, so I'm confused. Not trying to drag anyone down, and I know it isn't final, there's nothing riding on it and it's all for fun- otherwise I porbably wouldn't be doing it    just generally confused by the process.

A win is 30 pts
a loss is 10 pts
a draw is 20 pts

voter points: you get 1 point for every 10 votes with a maximum of 20 points. Please note you get 1 point if you get 5 votes, 2 points if you get 15 point etc.

and you get Bonus points.

To my knowledge this is the way points are given but please correct me if I am wrong (it is also my first year in the LPL, so the "oldtimers" obviously have more knowledge  )

There is always the possibility of a calculation error somewhere down the way  

greetings

From the "Rules" page:

2. Vote Bonus Points

In addition to points allocated for winning, drawing or losing, participants also receive ‘vote bonus points’ dependent on the number of votes cast for their entry in any given round.
For this, the total number of votes cast for the participant is divided by 10, the result being the number of vote bonus points the participant receives, ranging from 0 (9 votes or less) to a maximum of 20 (200 votes or more). The voter points will be rounded up if the player receives 5 or more votes. So 15 votes equals 2 voter points, 14 votes - 1 voter point.

There is a cap of 20 on the bonus vote points... so if you get 200, or 350 votes you get 20 Bonus vote points. On ties, where both contestants get 200+ votes, each will get full vote bonus points even though one gets more points for winning. I don't think that 'Votes+', 'Votes-', and 'Votes Difference' matter much, other than to determine order on the board when overall vote totals are the same. To be honest I don't follow the leaderboard all that closely and I may not understand it myself...

[Laughing Ferret]

Thanks!  That makes sense, I knew I was missing something.
The votes bonus points cap was the missing piece of the puzzle for me. 
Glad it isn't just that I'm even worse at math than I thought I was 

[Pil]

The votes difference is used as a tie-breaker. As you can see Bugsda, Blackwolf and Phreedh all have 340 points but are listed from higher votes difference to lower votes difference.

[Bugsda]

I don't understand it at all, I just leave it to brainiacs. That's what a civilized society is for.

[Ray Rivers]

Yep, ya'll pretty much got it sorted correctly.

Now there is a real gentlemen...
