So how are the scores for the top 10% calculated?

I cannot understand the stuff on the bottom of the page...

Qualified = count(opinions) > 7
This means that, to make the list, a video must have 8 or more opinions.

compscore = sum(avg(nonNULL(opinion.category))/count(avg(nonNULL(opinion.category)) except Overall and Re-view
I think the parentheses are messed up here, because there's 6 openers and 4 closers. Hey Phade, here's something easy to add to the "to fix" list.

But anyway: This means that a video's "composite score" is calculated by taking its average in every category (except Overall, Re-view, and any category in which has no scores), and averaging those averages (sum divided by number of categories).

score = avg(compscore+overall+review)
This means that a video's final score is calculated by averaging its composite score (as described above), its Overall score, and its Re-view score.

Also, the one best opinion and the one worst opinion (score-wise) on each video are automatically left out of the calculations. This is why the scores you see on the Top 10% list and the scores you see on a video's info page don't always match up.

Ah, okay. Thanks. I have a video which currently averages 9.28 or 9.27, but apparently with this method, it's currently at a 9.3 (assuming I did the math correctly- taking out the highest and lowest reviews (there were two reviews at the bottom with the same end average)). Heh

With two boxes of ducktape and a drinky-drinky bird.

I believe the olympic averaging only comes into play after 10 opinions, FYI

That's good to know.

I remember when Phade explained it, but I don't think he mentioned that it didn't take effect until 10 (though that *would* explain how an 8 op vid makes it to the list if 2 ops are discredited). I should have caught that. ^_^;;
