About POTW Scoring

A various number of people have asked me about how the POTW points are scored. It is very simple, but seems complex. Here is the starting list:

First place: 5
Second place: 4
Third place: 3
Fourth place: 2
Fifth place: 1

Then, you take that number and you multiply by the difficulty level. So if a POTW question has a difficulty level of 4, then first place would be worth 20, second place, 16, third, 12, etc. FYI, the difficulty level is at the end of every POTW.


NOTE: THIS SCORE GUIDE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND YOU WILL BE INFORMED WHEN IT IS DONE SO. AFTER THIS PARTICULAR POTW ROUND IS OVER, (every POTW round is five questions) THE POINT VALUE WILL CHANGE BECAUSE I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO DON'T GET POINTS BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ENOUGH PLACES FOR THEM.
