PSC,

Billtvshow and I have put our heads together and come up with a true ranking/scoring system
for the site. It is called PSCORE (pronounced p-score). The score's formula weights and
calculates ones win percentage, rank percentile per post and votes per post. It also takes
into account the changes in the voting system and site activity over time by comparing ones vpp
against a floating average vpp of other users who registered at the same time or later.

This forumla has been in the making for some time now. While not every one will be enthused
with the methods or outcome of the PSCORE, we are satisfied that it represents PSC's
strongest and most accurate statistic yet. The PSCORE will be used in the future for items
such as tournament seeding and hall of fame standings.

Below is the inner workings of how it is done:

The Variables:

WP = Win Percentage
RPP = Rank Percentile Per Post
VPP = Votes Per Post
FAV = Floating Average Votes Per Post

The Formula:

PSCORE = WP + (RPP/2) + (3(VPP/FAV))

Please note that only users that have posted at least 10 images are eligible to ensure proper
mathmatical sampling.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and enjoy the site!

HOW TO SCORE = SI + (BHS/2) + (3(SFO/L&P))
SI=Spendable Income
BHS=Bow Hunting Skills
SFO=Stupid Friends Opinions
L&P=Looks and Personality

My current rating is about 83.99
