Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Here's some scores. And I might do more puzzles/redo these songs.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

That's an interesting method for song score tabulation. Am I correct in seeing this as
1 - 10
2 - 9
3 - 8
4 - 7

such that a three way tie for 1, means we have levelrank 1, 1, 1, 4 scoring 9, 9, 9, 7 points? I think that's a good way to give good points to everyone who AAAs, but giving -more- points to people who AAA the harder songs (which less people will AAA) But I'm not entirely sure that's what I want to happen. I'm including a fairly wide variety of difficulty levels, but rewarding the harder songs more highly than the easier songs also helps discourage the people who aren't quite as good, even if on the surface it actually brings -down- how many points the AAA'ers get when there are more of them.

1 10
2 9
3 8
4-5 7
6-7 6
8-10 5
11-13 4
14-17 3
18-20 2
21+ 1


but, yea. so 6 AAAs would be 10+9+8+7+7+6 = 47/6 = 7.83

and, it does wind up giving "more" points for harder AAAs... but it's all relative. the more people that AAA, the less points each AAA person gets, and those who get less than a AAA will still get their few points, they'll just be closer. like 3 points for 14th vs 7.83 for a 6-way tie for 1st. vs a hard song with no ties, 1st gets their 10, 2nd gets 9, 14th still gets their 3. the overall points given out is identical, just the distribution is a bit different. vs giving 10 points to each of the 6 AAA ties, then dropping all the way to 6 points for 7th. this would be 7.83 for the 6 AAAs and 6 points for 7th. less of a penalty for not AAAing but still being close to a AAA.

regardless, i still do not advocate switching the scoring system this late into the tournament. not that it'll matter. .

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

OH no, you're correct in that changing it mid-tourney is a bad call. I'm just assuming (perhaps falsely) that people might actually like this tourney enough to want me to do another one at some point.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Should all be updated, but I added in a -lot- of info just now, so I'm fully expecting a number or two to be slightly off *grin*

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

New round is tonight yes, and sorry dore, this next one's pretty easy. So far I'd done a 5, 7, 7, 8, 8 and 9 difficulty. This upcoming round's will be the easiest yet, but there's at least going to be a 10 and possibly/probably an 11 or 12 in before the end.
