I'm really not sure but I think Sherry Arnold would know. I would also like to know how this is done. Although, EL is separate from the AKA it is always interesting to know how other areas compute scores. Maybe we could all get together and *SHARE* some thoughts. Just an idea. -- *************>>>>>>>>>>>>>MR.NASTY<<<<<<<<<<<<<************** Fiesta Kite Ideas http://www.tmn.com/kiteweb/home.htm 8302 Tiguex Mr.Nasty@ix.netcom.com Universal City, TX 78148 (210) 659-1803 or (512) 326-6221 ************************************************************* = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Sun, 18 Jun 1995 11:29:21 -1000 From: Aaron Bass <76263.3525@CompuServe.COM> Message-Id: <3s25rh$et0$2@mhadg.production.compuserve.com> Organization: via CompuServe Information Service Subject: Standings for Eastern League Does anyone know how to calculate your standing or total points for Eastern League?

Below is the method for computing Eastern League standings. Hope the columns in the examples line up ok on everyone's reader. This procedure is published in the Eastern League Guidelines book; this book is issued to all Eastern League Flyers Assocation (ELF) members. ELF membership is $20 for one year, $5 per additional family member and includes a subscription to Sport Kiting, since this is the League's primary source of information. You must be an ELF member at the time of competition to earn points toward EL standings for year-end awards. Since this is a revised implementation of ELF, if you join by June 30, all scores for the 1995 season will be counted retroactively. After June 30, you *must* be an ELF member at an event for your points to count. If you have any questions, please e-mail either of us directly at girbo@aol.com (Sherrie) or dquad@aol.com (Dave). Thanks, Dave & Sherrie Arnold Eastern League Commissioners (not trying to appear too official, just letting you know this information is valid) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Eastern League Scoring I. Event Score All events have the same base score, and bonus points are awarded based on the strength of the competition. Only the top ten places receive league points. Base scores are as follows: 1st place 25 points 2nd place 20 points 3rd place 15 points 4th place 12 points 5th place 10 points 6th place 8 points 7th place 6 points 8th place 4 points 9th place 2 points 10th place 1 point Bonus points are determined by the number of competitors. The first place finisher will receive a bonus value equal to the number of competitors in the event, up to a maximum of twenty. Each descending place will receive a bonus value one less than the next higher place. For example, the Experienced Individual Ballet class at Wildwood has 20 competitors. The Eastern League points would be as follows: Base Bonus Total Place Points Points Points 1st 25 20 45 2nd 20 19 39 3rd 15 18 33 4th 10 17 27 5th 8 16 24 . . . . . . . . . . . . 10th 1 11 12 If the class had 15 competitors, the bonus points would start with 15 for first place and work down. If 25 flyers competed, the bonus points would still start at 20 since that is the maximum. Note: If an event is broken into heats, the total number of competitors is used for awarding bonus points, not just the number in the final heat. Since the class size for teams and pairs is usually much smaller and does not vary much from one event to another, the bonus points are doubled to increase the impact. For example, the Masters Pairs Ballet class at New York has five pairs competing. The scores would be as follows: Base Bonus Total Place Points Points Points 1st 25 10 35 2nd 20 8 28 3rd 15 6 21 4th 12 4 16 5th 10 2 12 II. Overall League Score The event scores are used to compute your overall League score and the League standings for the season. The league season is the same as the calendar year, January through December. Your league score will consist of your top five point finishes. Example: A flyer competed in Intermediate Individual Precision at eight events and earned the following League points as discussed above: Event #1 35 Event #5 18 Event #2 20 Event #6 20 Event #3 22 Event #7 30 Event #4 15 Event #8 25 The flyer's League score for the season would be 132 (35+30+25+22+20). This score would be compared to all other IIP competitors to generate League standings. III. Tie Breakers If ties exist in League scores at the end of the season, the winner will be determined using the following steps until the tie is broken: 1. Head-to-Head For all events where the flyers competed against each other, the total number of points awarded to each flyer will be counted. The higher number wins. 2.Total Points The total number of Eastern League points for all events in which a flyer competed will be compared. The higher number wins. 3.Average Flight Score Average the actual flight scores for every event in which the flyer competed. The higher number wins. Example: Flyer A Flyer B Flyer C Event 1 25 20 15 Event 2 20 25 20 Event 3 15 15 25 Event 4 12 8 10 Event 5 12 10 8 ------- ------- ------- 84 78 78 Event 6 15 Event 7 25 Event 8 12 ======= ======= 103 105 In this example, let's just say the top three point scores for the year are counted, so all three fliers tie with a League score of 60. The tie is broken as follows: 1.Head-to-Head The three fliers all competed in the first five events listed. The total point score determines the winner - Flyer A with 84 points. This leaves Flyer B and C tied. 2.Total Points When comparing total points for the year, Flyer C wins with a score of 105. 3.Average Score If Flyers B & C were still tied in Step 2, the average flight score for all events in which the flyers participated would determine the winner. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
