Response to New Leaderboard Comments

While everyone else is in favor of this, it looks like, I am not for a few reasons. 1) A percentage scoring is automatically biased against games with low scoring, example Balloon Bomber. A good score in that game is around 8-10k, with first place here holding about 14-15k If I remember the score correctly. Now, if your 1,000 pts off the 1st place in this game, you'll lose 7% thereabouts, whereas on a game where scoring is easy to get, Example, Quiz of Dragons(US). The high score on this game is 2.4Million. Now, if your only 1,000pts off the 1st place, you still would statistically have 100% because it would be 99.9....% 2) It discourages competition. Anyone close to first place doesn't real have the push to go on, while they already have 60-70% of the total score they could. 3) It encourages submitting anything that is within 30% of the top score, just to grab a few points. Are we going to begin to reward quanity rather than quality? That's what the currently proposed system would. Okay, enough from me, let's see what else can be done, I actually perfer the 10-3-1 board, as it forces you to get to the top 3, or forces you to remain there, to have any points.... Chris Parsley PS- What are all these tournaments I keep hearing people talk about here... PPS- Coming soon, a one round Track and Field score of over 100,000.
