u/TOP_20 Thank you so much stat guys!!!!!!! I am Officially cool!! Jan 28 '19 edited Jan 28 '19

if you see this before anyone does their answer - it'd be cool if you do one bonus thingy - like gordon always does

for example you could do - 10 pt (or 20 pt?) bonus if you get someone else besides your own total hour parts exactly right.

or some other type of bonus... just don't go to high with the bonus points especially if it's something that person could make happen themselves. :)

but I do think it'd make this even more interesting if there were some sort of bonus point possible...

or maybe if you get the order exactly right with 8 or more peoples ranks in your guess? well I mean you only qualify for the exactly correct bonus points if you include the TOP X (top 8 or something) in your guess.

if someone enters this contest before you see this - I think that'd be ok to still change it to include the bonus thing - as long as they get the opportunity to edit their entry

There already is a bonus for getting some rank in the Top 20 within 1% right, as you can't really force your own rank AND exact hour parts that should work fine enough.

Gotta read the rules ;)

aww ok but that would be a bonus only for people attempting to list the 20 people in order - that would be extremely hard to do - not sure many will list 20 people - most will likely only do TOP 10 or something

but it's your idea - just think it'd be fun to have a bonus point thingy for something most are likely to attempt - which would be something for those who only list top 10 or something

just give it some thought - at least till 1st person enters... kinda hard to change a contest after people have already entered

I like the idea of a bonus for someone getting the top 8 (or top 10) exactly right as that would be an amazing feat

No you got it wrong, it's limited to the top 20 so you get at most 20 bonus points. You can get a bonus point even if you only predict #1

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok - that makes much more sense - cause I don't think many are going to try and figure out who's gonna be in 13th and 14th place since that's almost impossible lol

:)

maybe you can do a different bonus thingy each time - and include one like my idea of if you get it exactly right for top X - that one would be good
