Interesting. Been thinking about the same thing as of late.

Also, it would be interesting to have something like that for a period of time in order to see who is the most consistent high scorers on here. Maybe when I am suitably bored one day .... No promises though.

I was thinking "Should we run the photo comp scoring like this?" but then I thought about it some more, and I don't think we should. Total-points scoring would tell us who the best photographer was, but not what the best photo was. Those who enter 3 photos are more likely to win over time. "wild card" entries wouldn't stand a chance.

Would be interesting to see a comparison though...

If only we'd done total point scoring for the 2007 photo comp winner of the year competition!

You could always take an average score, but that would also detract from the individual photos. I agree that it would be interesting to see some comparisons after voting has finished though.

I think it's an interesting question. I don't do that well in these things D) but if I desperately wanted to win, I'd definitely be a lot more tactical about it and only enter one good shot instead of three.

I think it's really boring.

I'm interested in seeing how people have scored, but ultimately, the object is to choose the best photo in the topic that month, not the best photographer. In the end, it has to boil down to the photo receiving the most votes.

I think there should be prizes for those that only get a few votes.

Like a small car or something.

Might encourage a few more people to enter.

You got that straight!

 

[boskysquelch]

You got that straight!

However I and others have given a lot more to it than you.
