DQing votes based on outliers is one way, but perhaps we could also have the option to e-mail our rankings to Leonhart instead? That would help with some of the issues.

A lot of the fun would be ruined, though... I don't think I'd want that, but I'm just throwing it out there.

At least we could give the option, so that any unscrupulous voters don't know what they're up against.

I'd take either SA over Contra, but it likely would be a close battle.

Lol week 1 results.

So...what, you're telling me Sonic Adventure 2 beating six fodder opponents is more indicative of its strength then getting destroyed by the weakest SSB title? Lol LMS's thought process.

Next week, SA2 gets Contra. Contra will be the second toughest opponent SA2 has had to face to this point. Contra is 3-4, 87th in the RPI.

Chrono Trigger's RPI value is now at 1.062392. (SM64 is 1.004185) This makes it the most dominant #1 in the history of the RPI. This can be attributed to one of the strongest schedules in the contest. What a beast!

RPI Formula

(((2/3*Win Pct + 2/3*Average Vote Pct + 1/2*Opp Win Pct + 1/2*Opp Avg Vote Pct + 1/3*Opp Win Pct^2 + 1/3*Opp Avg Vote Pct^2) / 2 ) -0.5) * 2.

NOTE: The ^2 actually means "Opponents of the Opponent", (not squared) but I didn't want to type that all out.

Some causes of large RPI rises and falls are:

Big win/loss (well, duh)

Previous Opponents wins/losses (particularly if more than one does it in the same update)

RPI score (some gaps are much thinner than others in terms of overall RPI score).
