<\/span><\/h2>\nHere is what I propose:<\/p>\n
Use a linear Point Tally \/ Scoring system combined with elimination.<\/strong><\/p>\nStructure:<\/p>\n
\n- The first show is only for scoring.<\/li>\n
- N-3 shows have an elimination round, resulting in the elimination of the competitor with the lowest total score.<\/li>\n
- Once down to the final 3 competitors, they can trade their points for perks, and in the final round, winner takes all (by judges’ decree).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Show format:<\/p>\n
\n- Small challenge – (n-r) points.\u00a0 Perhaps the winner also receives a perk, or some other variation.<\/li>\n
- Large challenge – 2 * (n-r) points.<\/li>\n
- Elimination:\u00a0 The competitor with the lowest score is eliminated.\n
\n- In the event of a tie, the two losers compete in a final elimination round for 1 point.\u00a0 The winner gets 1 point, the loser gets eliminated.\u00a0 By decree of the judges, there is one winner and one loser.<\/li>\n
- In the event of an n-way tie, the losers compete and receive l-r points.\u00a0 For example, if the losing score is a 3-way tie, they compete for 3 positions, where the winner (of the losers) gets 3-1 = 2 points, and gets to stay.\u00a0 The middle score gets 3-2 = 1 point and gets to stay.\u00a0 The loser gets 3-3 = 0 points and gets eliminated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Consistently strong performers will have consistently high scores, and will be more resilient to elimination.<\/li>\n
- Consistently poor performers will hover near the bottom, creating extra drama as they struggle not to be eliminated.<\/li>\n
- Each show after the first show has an elimination (along with the drama it entails).<\/li>\n
- During the finale \/ showdown, the points can be used as an extra game dynamic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Point Distribution<\/span><\/h3>\nBecause the large challenge scores double that of the small challenge, the maximum points per show (small + large) = 3 * (n-1).<\/p>\n
In our example of 10 competitors, this would be 3 * 9, or 27 points.<\/p>\n
The maximum possible score is 243, and the minimum is still zero.<\/p>\n
If a person scores consistently average, their cumulative score would be about 135.<\/p>\n
Also, this introduces a new dynamic, where, even if a competitor consistently scores high in the small challenges but low in the large challenges, their score remains competitive for about 1\/3 of the total number of rounds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/span>Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\nContest \/ Elimination shows that use single-elimination (rank and yank) don’t necessarily end up with the superior contestant as the winner.<\/p>\n
Other schemes, such as scoring with elimination provide a better ranking system using the same number of ranking rounds, and also introduces new game dynamics that potentially makes the contest itself more interesting.<\/p>\n
