Friday night is when people party or hang out at friends places or play video games or do anything In terms of the raw vote totals, a match being on a Saturday only reduces the raw vote totals by about 5.55% compared to matches on Monday-Thursday. This is only about half of the normal Saturday penalty for regular polls. This could reflect the fact that contest matches are more effective in getting people to vote compared to regular polls, which lessens the penalty for a match happening on a Saturday. I got around to researching whether registered users or anonymous users are impacted more by the Saturday vote total penalty. I had a very limited sample size of only 4 Saturdays to work with, since the first day of Saturday matches had terrible vote totals because that was only Day 2 of the contest, before vote totals started to increase to their current level right now. I tossed out the first Saturday matches as they could skew the average due to the limited sample size. The results showed that Saturday matches saw about a 6.2% reduction in votes from registered users and a 4.9% reduction in votes from anonymous users. Clearly registered users saw a bigger reduction in vote totals than anonymous users on a Saturday, but both groups of users were impacted by the Saturday vote total penalty. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BK_Sheikah00, Guru Champ! ...
