Average 159822 and the by WCG calculated baseline is 156256 This will be fixed in the next release. It is currently computing the sum of the previous 31 days and dividing by 32 (which is wrong). After the change, it will compute the previous 30 days and divide by 30. We will not retroactively change this for challenges in progress, but it will be correct for future challenges. Kevin, Thanks for fixing this and also fixing the rank in challenges and putting ranknumbers in front of the teams. |

@Kevin:
----------------------------------------Now the challenge is over why I started this thread, I noticed a miscalculation (in my opinion) on the very last day of the daily average points and so the % of increase. All days WCG and I had the same outcome except for the very last day. I suppose the miscalculation effects all teams. Maybe you can have a look at it for future increase Challenges. Figures: FIM Sidecarcross WChampionship (enddate 9/13/09) Team: BOINCstats Your (WCG) outcome: 109.20% (326,887 / 156,256) My outcome: 107,96% (324,953 / 156,256) based on 54,917,131 total points during the challenge over 169 days. [edit] The failure is that you take the sum of the 169 days of the challenge duration and divided it by 168. For me a mystery why you do that only the last day. Up to you for the fix for future challenges. I did not check other challenges. [/edit] [Edit 1 times, last edit by Crystal Pellet at Sep 14, 2009 3:47:39 PM] |
