The total number counts for each team only took into account people who threw 2+ snowballs by the end (otherwise the total scores were REALLY wonky).

The math was totally right, the 10% of participants were given prizes. (I actually even extended it a bit to 13% just because the bottom was really dense with people throwing about the same number of snowballs)

Okay, post holiday (eggnog) inspection and we were totally wrong here. I had plugged in all of the algorithm stuff we used to determine average score (which included discounting people who just threw one snowball on the first day, and all sorts of trying to figure out who basically shouldn't count against the team) and that screwed the numbers up, a lot.

is pushing a fix now that'll award it to all of the correct users. Thanks for being math wizards and pushing us in the right direction ❤

Happy New Years!

Because this has been discovered to be a site problem that has been fixed, moving to P&B's Resolved Issues subforum.
