Ok, the games are reset. It is *possible* to go back through old data to try to reconstruct the points won by everyone for yesterday, but it's a royal pain since all 3 games calculate it differently. We will skip July 1 for this month's calculations. Consider it taking Canada Day off for a holiday wink

are nowhere near the top ten. I suppose the badges will trickle down to us eventually but it might be a good time to increase the sets to allow everyone the same chance.


Yeah, this doesn't make much sense to me. At one point yesterday there were 80 players having played in Div 11 and only nine in Div 13. Why isn't it just awarded to the top 10 from this list as Barbarini mentioned? These are literally the players that had the top cumulative scores for the month. https://www.funtrivia.com/daily/cumulative.cfm

How it currently is set up would be like a player in Div 1 of the Easy game winning with a 960 score being awarded a badge/upgrade while a player in Div 6 of the Easy game not winning with a 980 score being left out of a badge/upgrade. Maybe the divisions can be capped at 20 or 25 players.

I've just been in to check the Daily Game "Last Month" tally of points on this page

https://www.funtrivia.com/daily/cumulative.cfm

and instead of it showing the top 150 cumulative scores for last month, it now goes to the Monthly daily point scores.

https://www.funtrivia.com/daily/lastmonth_scores.html

Can you please create two different links please, Terry. Thanks.

Makes complete sense. Thanks TB.

Ok, starting tomorrow the Daily game divisions will be rebalanced, across all levels and types. Champion division will now be split into 6 groups, instead of 2.

Has this caused the problem with games being shown as untimed (see separate post)?

I just noticed this on the "This Month's Top Scorers" page on the New Question Game...

"The following chart displays the players who have the most Newgame Points in New Questions this month.

Scoring: You earn between 1 and 100 points each day, depending where you finish relative to other players who took the same question set as yourself."

The 1-100 points don't apply in this game; rather, it's the total of the scores won for each game. Could this be changed please when you have a moment? Thanks!

My score is mysteriously missing from the top 8 on my team for the Daily Game from yesterday. I was in set 7, one of the new sets, scoring 1584 which would put me in 64th in League A. Therefore it was not included in my Monthly totals nor the Team totals. Anyone else?

I just checked a few others. Looks like no one in Set 7 had their scores counted.

I think this looks correct?

Hmm, that's not what I saw at time of post. But it looks correct now. And I now show up on the Team list as 8th when it only showed the top 6 earlier. Thanks.

Tier 5 - own T4 and be among the top 5 who do not yet have T5 (1 player)
Tier 6 - own T5 and be among the top 4 who do not yet have T6 (0 players)

I have/am the Tier 5 player. If I'm reading the above correctly, I CAN'T progress to level 5 UNLESS I finish top 4 overall??? Just like Martha above?

Correct! It gets really tough in those top tiers!

To go from 0 to 1 (win the base badge), you need to be among the top 10 tier 0. This is just as it always was.
To go from 1 to 2, you need to be among the top 8 who are tier 1 or less.
To go from 2 to 3, you need to be among the top 7 who are tier 2 or less.
To go from 3 to 4, you need to be among the top 6 who are tier 3 or less.
To go from 4 to 5, you need to be among the top 5 who are tier 4 or less.
To go from 5 to 6, you need to be among the top 4 who are tier 5 or less.
To go from 6 to 7, you need to be among the top 3 who are tier 6 or less.

The "or less" DOES NOT appear on the "badge page", consequently players might be confused about Martha.
