We finally have the deatils of the new scoring system worked out. Any score submission will be worth at least 1 point, with point value scaling up depending on how high you place. The league size will be based on submitted scores for the 1st week.

For Leagues with 10 - 24 people: Scores will increase by 1 point up through 6th place. 5th through 2nd place will increase by 2 points and 1st place will be an increase of 3 points. For example:

1st: 16
2nd: 13
3rd: 11
4th: 9
5th: 7
6th: 5
7th: 4
8th: 3
9th: 2
10th: 1

For Leagues with 25 to 40 people: Scores will increase by 1 point up through 11th place. Increase by 2 points up through 6th place. 5th through 2nd place will increase by 3 points and 1st place will be an increase of 5 points. For example:

1st: 32
2nd: 27
3rd: 24
4th: 21
5th: 18
6th: 15
7th: 13
8th: 11
9th: 9
10th: 7
11th: 5
12th: 4
13th: 3
14th: 2
15th: 1

For Leagues with more than 40 people: Scores will increase by 1 point up through 16th place. Increase by 2 points up through 7th place. 6th through 2nd place will increase by 3 points and 1st place will be an increase of 5 points. For example:

1st 43
2nd 38
3rd 35
4th 32
5th 29
6th 26
7th 23
8th 21
9th 19
10th 17
11th 15
12th 13
13th 11
14th 9
15th 7
16th 5
17th 4
18th 3
19th 2
20th 1

Keep in mind that any submitted score will be worth at least 1 point..and the points will scale per song from there. The only way you can get no points is to NOT submit a score/% for a song. Even if you fail a song, and submit a % failed, you will get at least 1 point.

The only major change here (from the faq) is the point distribution changes based on the size of the league. I will be updating the FAQ shortly.

EDIT: Question answered, first post reworded... Life is good

Original Question:
Is the cutoff set where all scores lower than that are 1 pt? Or does it build up from the lowest score like previously discussed? The wording and the examples seem to be pointing in different directions.

For example:

I noticed that the wording is a little confusing, so I'll go back and edit it. The examples show the correct scale, I just didn't want to type out for 45 people. Last place is worth one point, 2nd to last is worth 2 points and so on. No different places will be worth the same amount of points.

its inclusive. the error he has in that example is just in description. The first +2 poitns score is 15th, and the first +3 is 6th (for the 41+ case).

I think I have it worded right now.

Wow... if we get 4 more people in AA (total of 41), a first place score will be 64 pts... man, this competition's gonna be fierce...

Scoring system looks great. This should encourage more people to stay through the entire season.
