I dunno if you have won enough weeks in the adjusted figures koffieboon lol.

4 is a nice start, lets see if I can increase that number in the coming months :-p Just kidding, I can lose them just as easily once new adjustments are made. I don't think we'll have any certainty until a few months down the road and even then it is not a definitive outcome.

Didn't we agree on 5*

This is what the scores would look like with the accuracies of the totals added on using a factor of 5.

(wherever the "current score" column doesn't go in order you can see which way people have moved when adding the total accuracy points)

(This is using VGC originals by the way, not the updated numbers)

You're right. I remembered talking about it and both a factor 3 and 5 were mentioned, but this message from you is very clear:

@koffie.
What do you mean?

I said earlier I am (almost) sure.... the final points will be added up week by week (so if week 1 you are 10% off on each platform you will "gain" 50 points, then the same for weeks 2-10) After which the total for 10 weeks will also be calculated, and the score multiplied by 5 and added to your total.

So for instance you may do quite poorly in the weekly rankings by being 20% over, then 20% under, then over etc... alternating each week and giving you 200 points, but your total amount is then very accurate, so you might only be 2% out overall, and only gain an additional 10 points to make 210 points overall.
Meanwhile someone else may be only 15% over for all 10 weeks, and thus get 150 points, but then be 15% over for the total, and gain a further 75 points to make 225


I like raw numbers more, they have me 2 places highet



Well I got owned haha. Oh that bigger than expected holiday season just killed me on predictions. Mainly Wii and PS3. Actually leveled out my 360 predictions and should have done the same for PSP had it not under performed so badly.

Oh well always next year. Congratz to everyone on another successful year.

Ok, this is what peoples total scores look like at the moment (with the most up to date VGC figures) This is including your scores from the total sales (accuracy worked out same as with the weeklies, but times by 5 to get the scores) so assuming there are no adjustments between now and May (when I plan to take the final figures as Sony's end of year report will be out by then) this would be the final outcome.

wow I am very pleased!

so the Results news article & results thread will be made in may?!

Pleae make them on May 19th!!! (5th anniversary of SW Episode 3: ROTS!)



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

yeah i finished top 5 although i wanted a podium finish

still was a good contender for awhile and won 2 weeks and finished near the top

i will always be vgcs 1st countdown winner though

koff would of won like i predicted earlier had week 9 not been the peak week

alot of props to tarheel wonder if he really knew about the peak week or it was just a guess that he didnt bother editing after he saw all are #s

my training is going good with crazzyman so far, its hard work though

And out of interest, this is a table of our accuracies for the total 10 week figures... so it is these that were multiplied by 5 and added to your 10 weekly scores to get the overall total.

So in my case for example... my total score adding up my accuracies of each week is 684 using the most current VGC figures.... which is actually better than Darth who has 702. But as you can see above, Darth's predictions for the full ten weeks were overall closer:

Darthdevidem 11 11 8 1 12

compared to

TWRoO 13 15 7 3 14

5 X (11+11+8+1+12) = 215.... Darth gets 702 + 215 = 917 points
5 X (13+15+7+3+14) = 260.... I get 684 + 260 = 944 points

Which is why overall I am still in 4th behind Darth (if you see my previous post I have 944 and Darth has 917)
