laguy03 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Hey baumer, I have a question regarding WW Top 10 scoring: Here is the wording you have: Every film you call in the top 10 correct, you get 10,000 points. If you call the top 3 spots in order, you get a bonus of 50,000. If you can call 5 in order you will get a 100,000 point bonus. If you can call between 6-8 in order, a bonus of 150,000 and between 9-10 will get you a bonus of 200,000. When you say "call 5 in order," they can be any 5, correct? For example, if I called #2, #4, #6, #8, and #10 correctly, I would get the 100,000 point bonus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he means the top 5, since it follows "call top 3 spots in order", and then "call 5 in order" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laguy03 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 They have to be in order. Got it. I was thinking it was like the Top 15 scoring where you get bonuses for getting 8-11/15,12/15, etc. But I just saw the wording for that scoring and saw the words "regardless of order" so it makes much more sense to me now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laguy03 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) Who is running the Winter Game? I would like to give it a try one of these days. I would want to make it a stripped down version of the Summer game, though. That way it's fun, but much less work to not only participate in, but to score as well. I think for most players it is just too much to have two games of this size back to back, which is a big reason why we have fewer players participate during the Winter.

chasmmi Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Will that affect the game in any way? It could save a few people a couple thousand points if they predicted 160M for it or some such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Concerning SOTM 1: I'm not too sure why this was already scored as wrong. I know that the foreign gross doesn't show if you just go on the movie's page on mojo but you can still see the foreign grosses by country if you search for it. I just added up all the domestic and foreign scores for Pain&Gain, Big Wedding and Mud and what I got was around $142.75 million (I might be off a few thousand so mayve somebody should doublecheck. According to mojo, Iron Man 3 is currently at 408.622 which means right now those three movies are only 894k off from being within 265 million. Considering P&G was according to IMDB in its second weekend in Germany, Brazil, South Africa, Thailand and Portugal and opened in the UK, Spain and a few smaller markets this weekend, I think it's very safe to assume that the right answer to SOTM 1 should be YES. Possibly I'm missing something here and as I saifd before the numbers should be double checked but that's what I got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 All figures are according to Mojo Gizmo. I have stated this from the beginning. I use one source. This eliminates guess work. I have a hard enough time scoring 30-50 players. I dont want to search all over for figures. Mojo is what is used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
