* – Average score is based on less than 5 weekly results. Individuals marked with an asterisk (*) who have not participated in 5 consecutive weeks will become de-listed until they resume participation. Any previous scores will be applied when participation resumes.

Scoring is determined by taking a base score of 25 points. From that base, one point is subtracted for each position that that the person is under or over the movie finished that week. The points are double for the selection of the first place movie.

For example: Tony selects:

1. Superman: The Movie
2. Star Wars
3. Empire Strikes Back
4. Return of the Jedi
5. Star Trek

When the weekend totals (Friday through Sunday – regardless of long holiday weekends) come in they have the following ranking:

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Star Wars
3. Superman: The Movie
4. Star Trek
5. Return of the Jedi

Points for Tony’s picks would be as follows:

Superman: The Movie – Tony picked this as #1, it’s actual box office position was #3, he would have lost 2 points for being off by two positions, but instead he loses 4 points because points for the #1 selection are doubled. (-4)

Star Wars – Tony picked this in the #2 position and it was! (0)

Empire Strikes Back – Tony ‘s pick was #3 and it was actually #1.  Two points for being two positions off. (-2)

Return of the Jedi – Tony selected this for #4 and it was actually #5. (-1)

Star Trek – Tony was off by one on this one too. (-1)

Tony’s score for the week would be 25-4-2-1-1 or… 17.  The old way we did scoring, Tony would have had one of the five positions correct (Star Wars) and would have gotten a 20%.

‡ – In season three, the new ruling is that if you miss a week you will be not be penalized with a lesser score or given any mulligans.

Note: Amongst the hosts we agreed that should anyone ever get a negative score… well, we agreed that there was a hard floor of 0 (zero) points.  We never thought we’d have to use that stipulation so it was never published. Well… never say never.
