Subject: If Everyone Counted in Smartest

Posted by: HairyBear
Date: Sep 07 23

Just did this for my own edification and thought others would be interested. You can check my math, all the scores are publicly available, at least until midnight FT time.

Here's how the scores looked in League A in Who's the Smartest yesterday with the system currently in place:

1. classicalmusic/mensan 8 645
2. Phoenix Rising 8 632
3. Red Hot Silly Beggars 8 547
4. Vixens 8 360
5. Worldwide Wizards 8 319
6. The Devious Demons 8 303
7. Triviabiz 8 295
8. CLIQUE-KICKERS 8 255
9. Funsters 8 252
10. Pi in the Sky 8 237
11. Old Farts 8 195
12. Canadian Players 8 193
13. The Moops 8 177
14. The Cat People 8 176
15. The Calculators 8 168
16. The Joli Llamas 8 138
17. The Bee's Knees 8 123
18. Quiz Makers Guild 8 100
19. Retired And Loving It 8 94
20. No Worries! 8 11

And here's how the scores would have looked if everyone had counted yesterday (total of every score for every team):

1. Demons: 22,128 ^5
2. Old Farts: 20,952 ^9
3. Calcs: 20,154 ^12
4. Wizards: 19,670 ^1

13. QMG: 11,494 ^5
14. Funsters: 10,756 v5
15. No Worries: 8,656 ^5

The whole idea of using only the Top 8 scores from each team for League A standings was to prevent larger teams from having a built-in overwhelming advantage over smaller teams.

Leave the system as it is.
