Massman Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yeah, just noticed. Unbelievable really ... this is just a fun comp and I will still have to make a custom background so people wouldn't submit old results. Sigh /// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Things Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 To reduce sandbagging, you could set up the monthly challenges to be closed randomly at any time during the last three days of the month. If nobody knows precisely when the contest will end, it will encourage them to get their score in before the random closure period begins (e.g., before the 29th of this month) - otherwise they run the risk of having the contest close before they submit. Just a suggestion. I support your initiative, though, Massman - sandbagging seems very anti-competitive and unsportsmanlike to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real time is the Brussels: GMT+2 but End of october, that becomes GMT+1 again. I always create another clock in windows with that time zone to keep the real time of any competition.

SteveRo Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Are competition points updating for submissions to this? One point per stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Points are usually awarded after the competition closes. However, for team/country/competitionteam formats, there are currently not yet competition points awarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for team/country/competitionteam formats, there are currently not yet competition points awarded. I am totaly confused which is my usual - normal state actually. There is points received for each stage in country cup (see my competition points) but in the December challenge - only after the stage closes?

egm_xt Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I do not know if this idea already appeared but another way to reduce sandbagging would be to award points to the team that stays for more days in the lead (say 5 points for example, to be consistent with the 15 points for 4th place). I do not know how complicated this is for the programming of the competition engine but I believe it could help. Some car races used to award points for the car that lead most laps. I have been too busy to be in the competitions but hope some time next year to be able to participate again of some. Anyway I keep following them. They are really great!
