The misspelling of "Efimova" and the hyphen in "Scimeca Knierim" likely caused the scoring algorithm to not be able to read those predictions correctly so points weren't counted for them
Oh.

Is there a scoring algorithm now? It used to be done by hand, so to say. :think:
Samkrut and concorde are correct. In this example, Polina is indeed moved up to 5[SUP]th[/SUP] position because of Loena's withdrawal.
This is one of those strange situations where somebody withdrawing actually works against the player.
Fortunately, it doesn't happen that often.

same , bombed SA completely
would take a while with over 200 players!
I think this is worth 55 points, but I have 45 on the scoring spreadsheet. :scratch:

Yes it would, but when I helped score it around two seasons ago, we did it by hand. I don't think we had quite as many players back then, however :thumbsup:
Depends on how you define 'a while' - it took me about 40-60 mins to score out by hand and put scores in the spreadsheet and then to prepare post with podium/summary, not much in my book. And for me it is a great exercise for a brain to score out by hand, spot some 'trends', who for example predicted also 6th place correctly etc. But it's just my weirdness.
NoNameFace, I have the same feelings on scoring! It doesn't take me that long to score by hand and definitely helps spot some trends. For me, the longest part is copying and pasting the predictions into a spreadsheet. Love that there are more players this year. I'll definitely get a workout scoring Men's for Skate Canada this week!
Oh, yes, quite a bit has changed since you were scoring, satine.
Samkrut developed this algorithm which makes the scoring process a lot quicker and simpler. There is still a good bit of stuff that the scorers have to do themselves, but the spreadsheet does the calculations itself. Which is a godsend when you have as many players as we do nowadays.
Some scorers still prefer to do it manually, though. And, curiously enough, it tends to be the younger scorers that prefer doing it manually. Which is the opposite of what I would have expected.
Personally, I prefer using the algorithm.
But, at the end of the day, it is best that the scorers do it whichever way they are most comfortable with, be it manually or using the algorithm.

When I did it manually it took hours because I always made mistakes and had to check and recheck. Another advantage of the algorythm is that you have the results immediately after the competition is over. With manual approach you just start then and...the spreadsheet for SA is still half empty and SC starts in just 2 days.
So i finally got the gold... and i need to share it with 30 other people :roll5:
I score manually and normally have the results up with the spreadsheet filled out and an analysis posted shortly after the competition - or normally no later than that Sunday evening. Of course I probably just jinxed myself for this weekend... I think the algorithm is great and am appreciative of your efforts to create it and of all the work of CaroLiza_fan and the scorers, no matter which method is used. Please don't get me wrong. It is partly I found it a bit confusing (my failing I am sure!) and partly, like NoNameFace, I tend to be analytical and like to see the different patterns emerge and get more familiar with the players.
