Game Night Overall Standings

The SuperScore

How is this stat calculated? To create the SuperScore, each player's Rank Percent Average, Normed Score Average, and Gaming Average are....guess what? Averaged! The SuperScore balances out the disproportions inherent in the three constituent scores while ensuring that a player's rank in each Game Night as well as his or her performance against the max scores achieved are considered. Players who came to only one Game Night will see their SuperScores gradually decrease over time as they become increasingly penalized by the Rank Percent Average statistic. To find out more about the three constituent scores, scroll on down!

Rank Percent Average

How is this stat calculated? The Overall Scores from each Game Night are ranked (1 through the number of players, so for Spring Game Night, scores were ranked 1 through 35) and the rank percentile is calculated (i.e., the winner is in the 100th percentile for that night, 2nd out of 35 is in the 97th percentile, etc...). The sum of each player's Rank Percentiles is then divided by the number of Game Nights held so far, regardless of whether the player attended all of the Game Nights or not. This stat rewards people who come to all the Game Nights and do well. People who only come to one Game Night are very much penalized.

Normed Score Average

How is this stat calculated? This stat is like grading your scores on a curve. For each Game Night played, the player's Overall Score is divided by the total of the maximum scores achieved for each game and multiplied by 100 (excluding any Bonus Games). If there were 4 games and the highest points scored on each of them was 25 points, the overall achieved points for the evening would be 100. If the highest player's score that night was a 94 (i.e., she was not on the winning team that scored 25 points EVERY game), her score for the night would be a 94. A player's accumulated Normed Scores are then averaged. This stat tends to disproportionately reward people who attended 1 Game Night and did well...like a Rookie who has an amazing season, but gets hurt (or stops dating Nick) and never plays again.

*Normed Average

Gaming Average

How is this stat calculated? Like a batting average, this stat averages how well you did every time you got up to Game. For each game played, the player's score is divided by the maximum score anyone achieved for that game (i.e., if you scored 10 and 10 was the maximum score for that game, you have a 1.000 for that game). All the game scores are then averaged. This stat excludes Bonus Points. This stat disproportionately rewards people who play a small number of games, but do very well.
