Columns:
  1. Position
  2. Film Title
  3. Total Score: A summation of each film's position in each contributor's top 10, with points given as follows: 1st place = 10, 10th place = 1. 10th place ties get .5 points per tie, limit to 2. All ties above 10th place get full points in each position, so long as the total points for the contributor does not exceed 55 (10+9+...+1); if that happens, remainder of tie will be divided like they were 10th place.
  4. Fractional Weighted Total: The total combined fractional weighted scores of each contributor's film. Fractional weighted scores are computed for each contributor by the position of the film against the total number of films seen -- i.e., if a contributor saw 50 films, 1st place is 50/50 (1.00), 10th place is 41/50 (0.82). This gives more weight to lists with higher film totals.
  5. Top 10 List Appearances : 2002 Film List Appearances: Ratio of a film's appearance in this thread to how many appearances it makes in contributors' lists in the 2002 Film List thread. This gives better value to the Weighted Average (and Total Score) numbers.
  6. Weighted Average: Total Score divided by Top 10 List Appearances. This is considered weighted because it only takes into account those contributors who have the film in the top 10.
  7. Unweighted Average: Total Score divided by total number of Top 10 contributors (currently 77).

Dana,
I guess it's just a typo, but shouldn't Bill Harris have 302 movies next to his name (and 30/30 films seen)? After all, he is the "2002 List Leader".

Michael,

I've mentioned it a few times, but it never hurts to repeat it

Lots of members have TWO lists in their 2002 Film List (myself included) -- one alphabetically, one by rating, and sometimes one by date seen. Often there are discrepancies between the two lists.

In Bill Harris' case, I literally copied and pasted his *RATING* list, because that list required less editing on my part -- if I had grabbed his alphabetical list, I'd have to manually go through every title and get rid of his extraneous information. True to the Programmer's Credo, I took the lazier route

Once I have a member's full list of titles, I go through them and ensure each title matches the "standard" title (i.e., "Hable con Ella (Talk to Her)" instead of just "Talk to Her"). I toyed with the idea of having a master list of films, and just having a 1 or a 0 in each row, going across the columns for each member. You'd think that'd be programmatically easier, but it turns out to be a nightmare for updates -- when members update their lists, there is no consistency in how they do it, so I have to manually go through the lists for each "Last edited by" that fits the dates I'm looking for, and pick out each new title, and add it to the spreadsheet. Doing it by name is surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) FAR faster than if there was one master list of titles and "checking off" if the person has seen it.

For the 2003 titles, I eventually plan on having a website that members can come to and check off which ones they've seen, and get an HTML output of their choosing to insert in the 2002 Film List thread. Due to interfering influences (read: my day job ), that's been put on a back burner temporarily, but I hope to get it started this weekend.

Now...back to Bill Harris: He has 302 films in his alphabetical list, but only 295 titles in his rating list. I could go through and try to find the 7 missing ones (one of which I'm sure is in our top 30 ) but there are a number of members who have this problem, and I'd rather they do the honors of synching their lists. However, since he's our official leader in the cause, I'll give him a break The next update should reflect his total of 302.

Hope that clears up any confusion!
