I think I'm going to start finding cutoffs again. I'll try to finish up the expert five stars.

Maybe he could do a column for top monetary contributors and a column for top song stat contributors.

Alright I'll try to add a column or make two separate tables. The problem is that theres a single contribution value associated with each person's account, so it's not easy to figure out how many of the points came from proofs vs. donations. But it can be done by analyzing the donation transactions, so I'll see what I can do.

And wow I am impressed! Last night I received over 100 cutoff proofs, looks like the motivation is working. At that rate we'll be finished soon, keep it up!

And for those of you that are keeping score at home...there are now 102 confirmed cutoff scores. Which means, a whopping 25 cutoff scores were determined in one night!!! (and by the looks of it, Echelar played a big role in that) To put that into perspective, it took about 5 months to determine just 77.

But there's still plenty of work to do as 290 scores still remain undetermined. I wonder if it's possible to get all of those done in 2 weeks??

How about extra cotribution points to an individual that determines the exact cutt off. I know there are many people doing this besides myself (i just started yesterday, but i find it rather fun) including Echelar, Droid, ES902 and many others.

Maybe somthing like a total of 5 points for submitting both scores instead of one point per picture. By that i mean, finding the exact single point boundry.

So far i've found the 1 pt boundry for Unsung, Sail your ship by, and Story of my love (all EX 5*).

I have also started to participate. I have decided to nail down 4-star Hard cutoff..starting from the top and working down..just so we optimize what we all are working on.

Anybody have any better tips for getting a score within 50 points other than holds? I find it very difficult to execute holds exactly as long as I need to.

You should try to get your score high in the beginning. When you get the number you want, then you can skip holds at the end and just hit single notes and chords. Don't start skipping notes until you're pretty confident that you can get enough points from non-hold notes though.
