ok so in the triathlon i have
41 + 24*5 + 58369/8 = 41+120+7296=7457
so this means that even if i get to #1 on the score board and #1 in post count i will never enter such a top 5 because of the join date. kinda crazy if you ask me.
especially since sully said you must do well in 2 categs to get to the top. well i'm doing well in 2 and i'm still a long long way from getting in the top. in fact my only solution would be if all the people with a join date before me quit.
i think it would be better if the influence of the join date was diminished. it's not normal for a person to get #1 in post count and score and still be unable to get in that top.
basically what the current triathlon does is measure who of the first people that joined got more points and most points. all others are excluded from the start no matter how well they perform.
