Amazing Race Results Page

[Mark Holtz]

:computer: Well, I still trying to figure out why some of the data isn't copying over like it should. Going to play around with the worksheets later on today. :bang

But, for now, I have put up a results page (http://www.deepspacefranchise.net/ar4/). I whipped it up quick, so please be gentle.

[Mark Lamutt]

Good start, Z'Loth. Not that I can pick this game worth a damn like I can with Survivor... :D

[Mark Holtz]

Well, I got a few improvements. I'm trying to stick with basic HTML for load speeds (since I subscribe to the concept of KISS).

And, you aren't the only with bad luck guessing. NOONE guessed all three correctly, and only 12 got one pick right.

So, for the 33 of you who participated in all the polls so far, you have either six or seven chances to win the Lord Of The Rings movies. And, like I said, more prizes will be announced.

[Todd Wiedemann]

Great job, Z'Loth.

Thanks for the effort. I'm sure it's not easy !

[Mark Holtz]

The hardest part is the data entry. After that, it's more of manipulating the data in Excel. I got the formula down for checking the answers. Then, once I transfer the information over to Frontpage, it's a matter of just highlighting the cells.

Just keep on voting. Like Survivor, I like to shake things up to keep them interesting.

[Mark Holtz]

Okay, I've updated the results page.

Looks like a majority is predicting Reichen & Chip to arrive first, Monica & Sheree to arrive last, and Tian & Jaree to use the Fast Forward.

[Mark Holtz]

I have now put up the individual polls. If you voted in all of the polls, you will have 5 points. If there is a blank, then you didn't vote! And, no, Z'Loth and Wyoming_Companion are two seperate people. Honest.

[Mark Holtz]

Surprise! None of the popular picks were eliminated. The results are on-line now.

Congratulations to "savescents", who is the current leader with 13 points. The Leg 3 results as well as the Master Score sheet are both on-line now.

[Mark Holtz]

I now have the picks on-line. This week, the first place winners are split between "Reichen & Chip" and "Jon & Al". For last place, the popular consensus is that "Steve & Dave" will arrive last and be eliminated (This is also true of the people voting at www.dbdtalk.com). As for a fast forward, "Kelly & Jon" is the most popular choice.

Some of you are not voting in the bonus polls, which means that you are missing out on some valuable participation points.

It seems to me that most people always pick whatever team came in second to last the previous week as the team to finish last this week. However, this is rarely the way the show plays out. There are so many opportunities along the way for teams to catch up that it's usually enough to mix the order up.

[Beardedbosn]

Thank goodness for participation points, we are not picking teams very well. Z'loth, thanks for the work on this, these contests make the race, which we enjoy already, that much more fun.

Chris & Judi Cooke

[Mark Holtz]

That's the intention. :) Thank you.

[Mark Holtz]

Okay, the preliminary results are now ONLINE. Once again, we have a tie for FAST FORWARD as both "Kelly & Jon" and "No one uses a fast forward" is tied.

The master page has also been updated with the known results, plus I put in the odds feature to let you know what kind of a chance you have of winning. With 824 possible points (34 have been discarded because of two known ineligible players, plus three points for picking the winner of the race as of Leg 3), the two leaders have a 1 in 37 shot of winning the prize. If your luck has been horrible, yet you voted in every poll INCLUDING THE BONUS POLLS, you have a 1 in 43 shot of winning.

The results for Stage 5 have been posted. Congratulations to TWood who scored a perfect this week with his picks.

[Mark Holtz]

The results for Leg 6 (prior to airing) are now online.

[Mark Holtz]

The results are now on-line. Congratulations to timf, who not only got two of three picks right, but is also leading with 36 chances and a 1 in 29.5 chance of winning. Coming in second is Lee L and non-player Popular Vote, both with 32 chances and a 1 in 33.2 chance of winning.

[timf]

Thanks! Too bad this contest isn't like Survivor where it goes solely off the points total, rather than increasing your odds of winning.

[Mark Holtz]

Since I now know the answers ahead of time, I have put up the preliminary votes up.

However, since the polls aren't closed, the master sheet hasn't been updated.

[Mark Holtz]

The Leg 7 Votes (http://www.deepspacefranchise.net/ar4/leg07.html) is now online. Please note that this is a unofficial count until the polls close. If there is a blank, it means that A> I didn't catch your vote in time, or B> You didn't vote yet.

The master sheet will not be updated until the polls close.

[Mark Holtz]

As usual, the prelimary results and the master sheet have been posted.

[Mark Holtz]

Okay, congrats to martzta, who got 13 out of 14 points possible.

timf is still leading the field.

[Mark Holtz]

While we do not know the results of one poll, I can congratulate kencde for getting all three picks right, including the show's "announced" first team.

I'm still working on the spreadsheet.

[Mark Holtz]

The results and scores are now up. And, timf has a 3 point lead.

[Mark Holtz]

Unlike last week, I'm actually updating the leg 9 results nightly.

[Mark Holtz]

Congratulations to both LarryH and MattJ who correctly picked all three teams this week.

And timf is still leading the pack.
