| Still working on the final list... y'know, life gets in the way. Hopefully soon!
BTW, bread man and I had to tweak the scoring slightly because of some strange anomalies when scores were tallied. We both felt that the tweaks made the scale more balanced and equitable. The scale we ended up using was this:
#1 album: 6 points
#2: 5
#3: 4
#4: 3
#5-25: 2 each
The net result was that the #1 album on each list was worth three times the points of the majority of the albums, whereas in the first scoring system the #1 was worth five times as much. We felt this balanced things out a bit better.
Again, hope to have the results up soon. Thanks for you patience. |
