Response to Deca2000 results using MARP style leaderboard

from Pat (laffaye@ibm.net)
I noticed that at the end, my Frogger submission really jumbled up the standings. I recall Jim Lang firmly held 2nd place, but since he held the prior high score, he took quite a hit dropping him to fifth place! The eventual 2nd, 3rd, and 4th players--yourself, JoustGod, and Neil Chapman, were not impacted nearly as much since they hadn't scored as high. The same thing happened when the Bubble Bobble and Tapper high scores were removed. A player should not have this dramatic sort of impact. This is exactly why I dislike straight percentage based scoring...

So I guess you can thank me for helping you get 2nd! But really, congrats to you, and the others for a great show of skills!!
