  1. I believe the percentage is based on how much faster they are then a "target" score so the number is not arbitrary nor set by any of the competitors. I like your Idea of format better, but leads to the great chance of a tie.

     

    The target score is set by someone (either picked or benched), thus is therefore by definition 'arbitrary', even if it relates to a score someone got. It means in the end that more time+effort+skill into bench A means more of a % rise over time+effort+skill into bench B.

     

    I don't know why, but in general US sports seems to be afraid of a tie.

    Elsewhere in the world, it's regular to get a tie.

    But just because you get a tie in a round doesn't mean at the end people will tie.

    If two people end on the same points, it comes down to who had the most 1st places.

    If that's the same, then it comes down to who had the most second places.

    And so on.

    This isn't a radical idea, or something I randomly thought of. It's common in racing and other sports (link: rule 7.2, link, link).

     

    Just sayin'.

  2. Then isn't it all arbitrary then to who sets the 100% score (or wherever it comes from)?

    If we put FS stage to 10000000 = 100%, then 1000pts is 0.01% and positions change.

    In sport it's all about who finishes the line first over a number of rounds and gets points, not who had the fastest overall time across each track.

    Edit: I approve of the front page scoreboard. Need it for final few days of ProOC.

    Just a thought. I wanted to see the best records for a bit of hardware (Z87X-OC). Would it be great if the item page ( http://hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/z87x-oc/ ) listed the best scores (in terms of points, WR+GL+HW+CP) that people had achieved with it?\r\n\r\nThat also lends to the following scope: a WR page showing what hardware had the most WR / WR Points. I bet vendors would love that.\r\n\r\n-borandi
