OVERALL SCORE: The overall score averages the Game Predictions (GP) score and the Tailgate Quizzes (TQ) score. However, the GP score has a weight of 60% and the TQ has a weight of 40%. The average is multiplied by 10 just to have a larger number on the leaderboard.
GAME PREDICTIONS: The "Game Predictions" (GP) form is associated with 14 points. A player's score for the GP is calculated based on the percentage correct for the given input, and s/he also earns points for playing the game itself. The percentage score is weighted at 75% and the "play bonus" is worth 25% of the player's score. So, if a player gets 10 points on the GP, that is 10/14, or 71%. In this example, the player has an overall percentage of 57% (which we call points even though it's not a raw score). That score is weighted as 75% of the overall score for GP, in a net of 42.5 points. In this example, the GP submission represents #5 that the player has turned in, so s/he nets a "game play bonus" of 1.25 points (5 x .25 points). Thus, 42.5 + 1.25 equals a score of 43.75
TAILGATE QUIZZES: Each "Tailgate Quiz" (TQ) is associated with 5 points. A player's score for the TQ is calculated based on the percentage correct for the given input, and s/he also earns points for playing the game itself. The percentage score is weighted at 75% and the "play bonus" is worth 25% of the player's score. So, if a player gets 4 points on the TQ, that is 80% (=4/5). In this example, the player has an overall TQ percentage of 69% (which we call points even though it's not a raw score). That score is weighted as 75% of the overall score for GP, in a net of 51.75 points. In this example, the submission represents #8 that the player has participated in, so s/he nets a "game play bonus" of 2 points (8 x .25 points). Thus, 51.75 + 2 equals a score of 53.75.
PARTICIPATION: This is a simple calculation that shows the percentage of either Game Prediction (GP) or Tailgate Quizzes (TQ) in which a player has participated.
WEEKLY TOTAL POINT WINNER: Only includes the average score on games the player played, both game predictions and quizzes. The percentage of games played also factors in to the score.
RECENT PREDICTION SCORES: Just a sum of points earned for recent game predictions (highest possible, per Game Prediction, is 14 points)
