Author Topic: The Lead Painters League Season 9 - Leaderboard (Read 30003 times)

And here we go with the first leaderboard in this season. This time I'm using (thanks to the suggestion of gnomehome!) the distribution of the voting points based on percentage of votes. Not sure if it's going to make that much difference at the end but I also believe that it's probably the most fair way to distribute the points betweeen the contestants. We will see.

Now please check your points. If you find any mistakes, just drop me a PM please.

Prof - not sure how you calculate the points from the difference in votes. It seems that votes count for a lot less than bonus points though eg you scored 314 votes difference and get 8 points. I scored 78 votes difference and get 6 points. This seems like a tiny points difference for such a large votes difference. Then I get 10 bonus points and end up above you in the table

?

I have no bonus points as I didn't enter anything armoured

Well, that's partly true. But concerning vote bonus points there is only "For every full 50 votes received, a team (win, lose or draw) is awarded 1 vote bonus point." So, nothing about votes distribution and not a clarification why for example I get 9 bonus points for 437 votes instead of 8.

Perhaps it would be nice to once again describe the exact procedure concerning vote bonus points (and add it to the main rules body).

Thanks.

I would if I understood it Michael, but I don't.

The Prof has adopted a slightly different method for calculating the votes bonus (per gnomehome's suggestion at the top of page 2 of this thread) based on % differentials rather than absolute numbers of votes. As I say, I don't really understand, being possibly the world's least mathematical person. So I had better leave him to explain

Like mentioned in the original post, I've used the percentage method this time. The explanation with the succeeding adaption of the rules is coming.

Oh I get that bit - it was just that the theme bonus is worth more points than the votes bonus. You won your round with a big margin, I won with around 25% of your margin, yet I score only 2 points less....

from the adapted main rules:

Quote

10a. Vote share bonus points

1. Both contestants' total vote scores are added to determine the total vote score.
2. Next, each contestants individual score is divided by the total vote score to determine their share.
3. Each contestant receives 1 vote point for every ten percent of the total vote score.
4. For fractions of ten percent, the lower score is rounded up to the next full ten, the higher score is rounded down. This means that unless a contestant receives zero votes, the minimum score is always 1, the maximum score is always 9.

Example: If, in a match, 500 votes were cast, of which 400 were in favour of contestant A and 100 in contestant B, contestant A receives 8 vote points (80%) whereas contestant B receives 2 vote points (20%).

If contestant A received 370 votes (74%) whereas contestant B receives 130 (26%), contestant B's vote points are rounded up from 2.6 to 3.

We consider this to be a fairer representation of the voters' favour than the previous system based on the actual number of votes, since it does not penalise matches with low total vote scores.
