Adjusted Overall - 24.8
The score you gave me in no way matches with the review :(
Actually it does - you got 24.8
I would like to remind everyone that although the score goes from 0 - 100 the average score is NOT 50... An AVERAGE score actually works out to be 25. it is NOT a linear scoring system.
the first four attributes are averaged and then ast two are averaged - then the two averages are multiplied...
If you got all 5's it would work like this:
5+5+5+5 = 20 / 4 = 5
5+5 = 10 / 2 = 5
5*5 = 25
It was done this way so that the scores for "Overall" and "Catchiness/Appeal" are weighted more heavily than the rest - the higher up the scale you go, the more of a variation there should be.
This was so that we could avoid the problem of have 7 people tied for second place and 12 more tied for third...etc..etc...
You got an average review from Rucklo "...cute, the choise of instruments are a hit and miss though... ...but the beat... nah...Not so many things happen, it´s allmost a littel boring..."
based on that, his score was actually right where it should have been.
Once again - let's say that you got all 10's for your attributes:
10+10+10+10 = 40/4 = 10
but you get an "Overall" score of 9.5 and a "Catchiness/Appeal" rating of 7
9.5+7 = 16.5/2 = 8.25
then the two are multiplied.... 10*8.25 = an adjusted score of ..... 82.5
So you see, scores in the 60's and 70's really AREN'T bad at all... ANYTHING above a 25 is BETTER than average...
Besides - your other three scores were 48.5, 61.6 and 83.5 - even if Rucklo gave you a perfect 100, you still would not have taken first place.
I'm sorry if some of you didn't understand how the scores were computed.
Maybe next time we'll try doing it on a curve instead... Or maybe set it up like multiple single elimination tourneys... maybe we'll throw some fucking darts... Hell, I really don't know yet... and I'm waiting to hear everyones suggestions first.
Please either PM me or
email me with your ideas for a completely foolproof judging system that nobody can dispute in any way shape or form...
